"The shot that has to be seen to be comprehended. It is possibly the most devastating shot on tornado, and is getting more common on other table types.

Essentially the shot involves pinning the ball with the centre attacker, flicking the ball sideways, and rotating the bar 350degrees to strike the ball forward.

Trap and position the ball like for a front pin shot.
Release your grip on the bar, and place your hand down in front of the bar so your wrist is touching the bar. Wrap (snake!) your wrist around the bar to give you a good grip for the snake part of the shot.
The snake part of the shot is a 2-stage process that should work as one fluid motion. The bar is pushed or pulled with pressure on the ball, starting the ball moving sideways. The bar is rotated rapidly by yanking your arm up as quickly as possible so your hand rolls up the bar. The spinning man will hopefully hit the ball at exceptional speed into the goal.
Things to try to if you are struggling executing a snake include curling the hand slightly underneath the bar before yanking it up, as this will sometimes give a little extra control and grip to the bar.

After hitting the ball, the bar must be grasped in the hand, otherwise the bar will keep spinning, and the shot will be illegal."
