Snell
Prime 2-Piece
Snell value 2-piece ball with a medium feel.
The Snell Prime 2-Piece is a distance-tier golf ball released in 2024, built with 2-piece construction and a ionomer cover. It carries a compression of 80, a mid-range compression that fits most amateur swing speeds (about 90 to 105 mph driver). It is a low-spin ball, tuned for distance and a straighter flight off the tee. Its feel is rated medium. Snell positions it for mid-handicap players with average swing speeds (90 to 105 mph) who want a step up from entry-level distance balls without paying for urethane.. MSRP is about $20 per dozen — a value-tier price, roughly half the cost of a premium tour ball.
