Snap Switch

[Tony Stillman]

Vicente:

You got that right!  They also had no tail motion (cone-shape) in the snap.
It looked like a high-speed roll to me, and to most of the judges!  Hence
the zeros!  Several top pilots got zeros, then they decided that they better
change their snap technique if the wanted to score.  Some did, but some did
not.

> I remember that we discussed this before.  According with the rule book
the pilot have to show a definitive brake before the snap.  It is very
difficult to do this with the snap switch alone unless you are very fast and
do the break first and then use the snap switch just after. I agree that the
snap done by hand is a lot better and under control.  My personal experience
is that if I try to break first the snap is a lot better.  I agree that is
very difficult to judge.

am guessing that they didn't show a definitive break before the snap. Tony
