Displacement during snaps ** del klipped for reposting **

[Joe Lachowski]

Del, awhile back I saw someones video of Quiques snap. In regular speed it 
looks very suspect.
When the video was slowed down, you could actually see the break in pitch 
clearly.

The way I look at it is , if it ain't an axial roll and if it ain't a barrel 
roll, it must be a snap. Just show me, as I call it, " the train wreck".<g> 
Of course, I have seen guys doing rolls in the last portion of the snap to 
get a clean stop on position. You know waht that scores?<g>
