I taught a friend how to snap when he was like 23, and that was, uh, the issue was he was trying to make the snap from rubbing his finger and thumb together, but the snap actually comes from the pressure that builds up and smacks into your palm as the tension releases.

The other thing I have seen people have issues with is if they lotion their hands frequently, because then you can't really build up enough tension to get a good pop.

? Nothing touches my palm when I snap. Now I wanna see you do it!

My middle finger doesn't touch my palm when I snap, it hits the ball of my thumb.
