Hey there svs - welcome to the TGM forum! A snap release is one in which the maximum wristcock you generate is saved for as late a release as possible and still have proper impact alignments. One practical way to measure this on video is to measure the shaft angle to the ground at .06 secs before impact, which is about where the butt of the left hand is when it just gets to the left leg. It should be horizontal or above. The best snappers get the left hand in front of the zipper with the shaft still horizontal.

Here's the one of the best on tour now - at .07 when the butt of the left hand just reaches the zipper, the shaft is still ABOVE horizontal!
