Snap. You hear about this subject all the time in disc golf tutorials, but it remains one of the most confusing and mysterious aspirations in the sport. Youtube is filled with videos explaining how to get "more snap", but few of them actually relay what you're trying to achieve, and why.

In this video, I discuss what "snap" really is, and provide an explanation for the confusion. I also suggest retiring this antiquated terminology, and suggest something far more flavorful and accurate.

***Warning*** I start talking in detail about Street Fighter 2 near the end of the clip. If you don't care about fighting games or fighting game history, feel free to jump off at that point. Thanks for watching!
