What is a snag?

A snag means grabbing the disc out of the air as quickly as possible to secure the catch. In Ultimate, this refers to a rapid, in-air grab where your hand closes on the disc as it comes toward you, often with a quick, decisive motion to prevent it from slipping away or hitting the ground. This is about timing and hand placement right as the disc arrives, not about throwing, deceiving, or calling a foul. A huck is a long, high-arc throw for the end zone, a fake is a deceptive throw, and a foul call on a hand block is a different kind of rule situation. To execute a snag, watch the flight closely, extend your hands early, and snap your grip to secure the disc cleanly.
