Compression
How soft the ball feels. Lower numbers (70–80) compress easier and help slower swings get distance. Higher (90+) rewards faster swings.
Cover
Surlyn is tough and cheap — great for distance and durability. Urethane is softer and grips wedges for more spin around the green.
Layers
2-piece: simple, long, straight. 3-piece and 4-piece add layers for more feel and spin control on approach shots.
Trajectory
How high the ball flies. Low = flatter flight with more roll. High = peaks up and lands soft. Mid = balanced.
Spin
Low spin = straighter shots, less curve, more roll. High spin = more control and stopping power on the green (but also magnifies slices/hooks).
Tier
Price bucket. Value = budget-friendly distance balls. Mid = solid all-around. Premium = tour-level spin and feel, costs more per dozen.
Best For
Try a sleeve first — ~$5 for 3 balls before committing to a dozen.

Who It’s For
The Snell Get Sum is built for moderate and slower swing speeds. It suits beginners, seniors and slower swingers on a budget who want a soft, high-launching ball from a direct-to-consumer brand. It is the soft, 2-piece value ball in Snell’s lineup — the direct-to-consumer brand’s most affordable option.
Feel
With a compression of 67 and a ionomer cover, feel is balanced — soft enough for touch shots, firm enough for a lively tee strike.
Spin Profile
Snell designs the Get Sum for low driver spin and high launch together, the pairing that keeps a moderate-speed drive in the air without ballooning. Around the green the ionomer cover is built for durability first; chips release rather than check, which is the trade for a ball that lasts several rounds.
Trajectory & Construction
Snell builds it to launch high, so a slower swinger gets the ball up and carrying without needing to add spin to do it. Two pieces, a soft core under an ionomer cover, sold direct so the $18.99 price has no retail markup in it. Performs well in cooler temperatures.
Price & Value
At $18.99 per dozen (direct-to-consumer, no retail markup), the Get Sum delivers premium materials at a meaningful discount to the big brands.
Buy it if
- You swing at a moderate or slower speed and want a high, low-spin flight.
- You play spring and fall golf; a 67-compression ball keeps its feel in the cool.
- Your drives balloon or curve and you want a ball that spins less off the driver.
Skip it if
- You want a wedge to bite; the Get Sum is Snell’s durability-first ball.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the compression of the Snell Get Sum golf ball?
The Snell Get Sum has a compression of about 67, which puts it in the mid-compression range. At 67 the Get Sum is on the soft side of mid, which fits the moderate swing speeds Snell aims it at. It is one of several specs the BallCaddie fitting quiz weighs against your swing speed, usual miss, feel preference and budget.
Who should play the Snell Get Sum?
The Snell Get Sum is built for moderate and slower swing speeds. It suits beginners, seniors and slower swingers on a budget who want a high-launching, low-spin ball that costs $18.99 a dozen.
What swing speed is the Snell Get Sum designed for?
Snell sells it as a low-spin, higher-launch distance ball. It was not in MyGolfSpy’s 2026 robot test, so choose it for the high launch, the low spin and the direct price.
Does the Snell Get Sum have high greenside spin?
Greenside spin is moderate. The Get Sum’s ionomer cover is Snell’s durability choice; you get a soft feel on chips but not the grab of a urethane cover.
Is the Snell Get Sum good in cold weather?
Yes. At 67 compression it is soft enough that cool weather does not turn it hard, so it plays fine in spring and fall.
How much does the Snell Get Sum cost?
MSRP is $18.99 per dozen.
