We know about different styles of throws but I was thinking about how many different players vary when it comes to the amount of SNAP they put on a disc. Here an idea I have to explain why I choose my disc and maybe this will just be interesting to read, or perhaps help some players choose a good driver for the.???
For this exercise lest put “Snap” into a range.
Say a Valkyrie/Sidewinder would be 1 (least) and a Teebird / Tracker would be about 5, and a destroyer / Force would be about 7-8 and then a Boss 8, a Firebird/Max/Predator would be 10.
If you can SNAP a 10 Disc then Your name is Robbie Bratten, He can snap a drive with all his strength and a predator will fly strait for him. He has so much snap he can actually make a Pred anny when he release it strait. That’s definitely more snap than I have. Now people all differ in how much snapo they have. Some of my friends have to tape finger tips as they are snapping very hard with tight grips. And some guys just realease disc with spin and don’t snap so hard as they have loose grips. I would say im in the middle as I have to chalk or rub dirt on finger tips to get a smooth release and not hurt my fingers, my grip is pretty hard.
I would put my SNAP level at about a 7. To me I Snap hard and I like to released very Strait or flat. I can flip a 175 teebird If I put all my snap into a shot, where Robbie Bratten could snap over a Pred if he threw with same strength. So im learning why I love my certain drivers and others don’t have the same opinion. For me I am practicing with Champion Boss’s, Champion Destroyers, Star Destroyers, Pro Destroyers, ESP NUKES.
I am tweaking my shots and learning which is the best distance driver for My SNAP. I think a beat in Champion Destroyer ranges in the 7, 6.1/2 range if its well beat in. So I think my SNAP is around a 6-7 depending on how hard I throw. I’m getting my Snap ranges from looking at the Stability chart from Marshal Streets Disc Golf Chart. So for me If a Destroyer beats in and becomes a little less over stable then it becomes a perfect SNAP ranger for my distance shots with good control. The Boss’s are to over stable so my best Snap can’t throw them Strait and they just go left. I am liking the Nukes as their Snap range is a little less than the destroyer so they are flying very well for me.
I just thought it was cool to put these drivers in a Snap range. I know a lot of guys differ with their amount of SNAP. Some Hyzer flip, some release flat. And guys like Robbie can release hyzer and flip anny a predator….anyways I know this is long but it was interesting to my brain.

What are you asking dave or are you just saying you like destroyers? You copied and pasted this from another spot you posted.
