IMO snap release is all about getting your hands 'deep' DOWN the plane until they can go no deeper. In arc of approach you are using a more 'shallow' move because the accumulator's must release in a 'wider' fashion, less overlap. Snap release is the other extreme, max overlap. More speed potential, but the 'mass' potential has a very small window, very tough to time and get both the speed benefit AND the mass benefit. The opposite would be true on a sweep release, easier to have mass, but less speed.

I'd love to hear from Yoda on this one too though.
