Recently my friend loan me his SC200+, I plan to use this device to dial my swing at comfortable level and more consistency at distance. I use mix ball as my practice ball and got used AAAA chrome soft as my regular ball. I found that I hit practice balls further than Chrome Soft. The furthest one seem to be the cheap hard ball. Let say I hit 7i comfortable at 125 yds carry, the furthest I got is 150 but with chrome soft avg at 100 yds. My swing speed around 70-75 for 7i. Should I get new balls that fit my swing speed and use same type ball for both practice and regular. Any recommendations?

I know the rage has been low compression, especially for slower swing speeds, but that may not be the case...

In general, there is a correlation with compression and ball speed at any swing speed. It may be a little less correlated at slower swing speed, but its still a decent rule of thumb to follow. 

Play a higher compression golf ball for better distance and spin numbers for slower swing speed.

I hope the used balls work well for you.   My experience with used ball is less than favorable.   I'd rather play with a new cheap ball than a used expensive one any day.   How many of those have been in the water for a significant amount of time or have a cart path rash?   I bought some 4A TaylorMade Project A a few years back and they were about 20 yards shorter than my usual ball.

That is possible, I might just take all the balls out and hit against SC200 I think 3 dozens. I was afraid of loosing golf ball when I first started but so far I only lost 2-3 balls each round. I don’t mind buying brand new ball but which one? The cheap mix one that I use for practice a lot of it Pinnacle brand.

Take a look at  snellgolf.com.  Both the MTB Black and the MTB-X are great balls, significantly cheaper than other premium golf balls.  I play the MTB-X and compare it favorably to Pro-V1X and the TP5X.

So I hit all of the used AAA Chrome soft I have and kept may be 10 out of 30 golf ball that go above 100 yds. It might not be the ball itself but my swing is at fault. Anyway on the mix ball I also have Volvik vivid which give me pretty good distance.
