"Lots of good advice here. Talking about a smooth pull accross the body and accelerating, think about an ice skater spinning on ice. As she pulls her arms in, she spins faster. You are creating momentum with your body, and by keeping the disc…"

Christian Lamb replied to Dusty L. Kerr's discussion SNAP HELP !!!!!!!!"Watched some top pros throw this weekend at a tourney and when they were throwing for big distance off the tee they were getting a huge reach back and coming through so quickly it was ridiculous. I definitely will be working on pulling the…"
Philip Tipton replied to Dusty L. Kerr's discussion SNAP HELP !!!!!!!!"I think that there is a video on youtube called Hammer Drill. It teaches you how to snap. Watch Dan Beato's vids. They are helpful."
Aaron Barnes replied to Dusty L. Kerr's discussion SNAP HELP !!!!!!!!"Dusty. to start working my snap I imagined myself starting a lawnmower. I find Jim and Star are right. Its all about the pull. And if i have a day that my feet are feeling clumsy, I have horrible drive and have to concentrate…"
Ghost replied to Dusty L. Kerr's discussion SNAP HELP !!!!!!!!"For the pull, you want it to be nice and smooth. As you pass your chest, that's when you accelerate. Hit as hard as you can there."
Jim Coonradt replied to Dusty L. Kerr's discussion SNAP HELP !!!!!!!!"IMHO, if you don't set up with the proper foot work you will not get good snap. Snap isn't all about what you do with your hands. What you do with your feet and the rest of the body is just as or even more important. A good transfer of…"
Christian Lamb replied to Dusty L. Kerr's discussion SNAP HELP !!!!!!!!"Tried working w this today and the change definitely threw my timing off a bit. Will have to keep working on it."
Donny Olow replied to Dusty L. Kerr's discussion SNAP HELP !!!!!!!!"Try the Towel thing , then move up to a bigger Towel !!!!"
Christian Lamb replied to Dusty L. Kerr's discussion SNAP HELP !!!!!!!!"Thx! I'll try working this out tomorrow. Definitely feel like I can add some distance to my drive. Hard to understand how some of these mild mannered fellas chuck 500+ feet like its nothing. :)"
Jim Coonradt replied to Dusty L. Kerr's discussion SNAP HELP !!!!!!!!"Snap starts with proper foot work. Set up your throw with a proper X-step and the snap will follow. It is what gets you the power.

Dookville replied to Dusty L. Kerr's discussion SNAP HELP !!!!!!!!"Two things:
1. Hitting the snap requires the use of fast twitch muscles that don't have a lot of stmina. They are shot and decelerating by the time you make to the hit if you start the pull hard.
2. It throws off the timing of the…"
david swamp thing black replied to Dusty L. Kerr's discussion SNAP HELP !!!!!!!!"i dont even worry about snapping the disc. i just keep every part of my body left and open up at the release for a rhbh shot. when i do stop (snap, rip, whatever) every thing on the release , it goes far too. If there was a way to…"
Christian Lamb replied to Dusty L. Kerr's discussion SNAP HELP !!!!!!!!"A beautiful explanation.. I get the feeling u have explained this before ;) I'm wondering how important it is to accelerate through the pull? I think I just pull hard from the start."
Dookville replied to Dusty L. Kerr's discussion SNAP HELP !!!!!!!!"I like the towel idea for helping point you in the right direction, but it won't give you the feeling of a disc at the hit. I also like the towel for use before a round or taking a shot once you already know how to hit it. It kinda gets you in…"
"Try anything that works the wrist.
Try the snapping towel routine.
Try the band, well that is more for arm then wrist.
Try tapping a can of dip.
Try snapping your pointer finger against your thumb and middle finger.
Try master..... just kidding.
