The reason I chose the snake shot was, I actually read somewhere that it is a fairly easy shot to learn for a beginner, and be good at in a month. (I started learning the pull shot at first, and after two shoulder surgeries, I couldn't do it for very long when I was practicing over, and over again. I can honestly say that I have been working on the snake shot for a month now and I am pretty good at it. I can go pull, push, & middle without to many problems. (Setting up the ball is my biggest hang up) My shot is quick enough that the average person could probably not race me. I have just started learning the walking snake, and that is a bit harder. Tony Spredeman makes it look so freakin easy! I think it adds a whole new dimension to the shot, and forces people to move their defense around, and potentialy screw up!
I have messed around with the euro-pin a little bit as well. I can shoot the pull side pretty well but the push side is harder for me. Nothing like the push snake. I have great control over tapping the ball around, and moving it with the euro-pin, so I can see how it can be a very deadly shot if you know what you are doing with it. I can also see how it can take a year or so to master it, and I honestly want to start winning some games before that! The euro-pin will probably become my back-up shot.
