We tend to think of Snap Release in terms of Swinging , Auto Snap, Pitch Elbow , big #2 angle and of course maximum delay , but I believe there can be other looks , component combinations and Release Points even.

Homer did define Non Auto Snap for Hitters and Swingers (with their respective Release Triggers) . If you look at the photos that accompany Non Auto and Auto Snap you'll notice an earlier Release Point for the non Auto version. Its late but it isn't as late as Auto Snap which to me implies that it would be incorrect to say Snap is defined by a specific position or Release Point.

You could also argue (perhaps in a nit picky way) that Hitters are releasing their Right Elbow and that a Non Auto Snap for them would have less to do with how much #2 angle they were carrying prior to Release.

For sure it, Snap is late but ......there's a range of available options, components again.

As an aside , Homer would not want us to achieve huge #2 angle if gotten via rubber wrists. He wasn't at all enamoured with the rubbery wrists aspect of Jones or Hogan's swings. He had a strong preference for control. Same with Lynn, from my experience. If you look at Hogan in Power Golf he was "playing the flute" with his left hand at top. Only his fingers were attached to the handle. Same with Jones.

Sounds like heresy I know, I love both of those guys swings but ...it should be pointed out.

PS Hogan was in Homers words "the ideal" when it comes to ground up Drag Loading. Not saying Homer wasn't a Hogan fan or appreciator, he was.

Yes Sergio sadlowski clampett all snap release none o them however can be considered truly great on a PGA tour career scale

On a scale of 1-100 in all 3 zones hogan would get a 99 in all zones

OTHER than hogan

I already named Woods. Youtube is teeming with video proof.

Woods didn't snap release in 2000 when he was a different better player
