This may or may not address your issue, and it might not work for you but this is a related matter that I've encountered myself.
I've lost many starter balls and I've struggled with the meter and the water and OB, so I tried a method that may not be for all, but I saved my balls and lowered my score when using my fast starter balls because I've..
"..decreased the element of risk -and increased the achievability & chances of a non-detrimental green landing by allowing myself a larger margin of error.. I have had less balls fall into the water attempting C than attempting A"
Results will vary, and there may be better methods, but this worked for me, and then I switched to a slower meter ball, and I'm learning to use those as best as I can.
