F3A - snap roll query

[Woodward James R Civ 412 TW/DRP]

Yo Gray, what this Mr. James stuff?  I don't think the snap could be too
fast.  In one local contest, Kenny L. did a 1.5 opp 4/8 that was incredible.
The plane kind of cruised in medium paced, then he did a blindly fast 1.5
with no heading or altitude deviation, stopped perfectly wings level.  Plane
lost a lot of horizontal speed doing it that fast, then he banged out a 4/8.

 - I did a new maneuver too.  Practicing the ¾ slow roll, opposite
directions.  First ones looked like ¾ slow roll, ¾ negative cobra roll!!!

Dear Mr. James 

I have been told to do the lead with elevator thing-then hit everything
else...Harder than it sounds. Good idea to practice on the ground with the
movements...especially since I nearly plowed the ground with the brain
output vs. bizzarro finger movement incident.  To recover from embarrasing
incident I simply told all the sport guys in my club that  I meant to do
that...practicing an new manuever. 

So Can the snap be too fast?
