Real examples of snapping the chain

Can someone give some examples of a long hitter who snaps the chain a lot and another long hitter who doesn't? Video would help. Cheers.

Let's not forget that Ernie is a big, strong bloke - used to play number 8! He's also very flexible and is going to get loads of distance with that combination. Rory perhaps needs to step on the gas a little more - but he's one hell of a talent! I know which one looks easier to reproduce!
 
So how can you tell if Ernie has more snap. Is it because his hips slow down more through impact?

Basically, the point of this thread is I'm trying to find a definitive way to see how much one snaps their chain on 2-D video. It's relatively easy to see on 2-D video whether someone is flipping or not (bent left wrist at impact / shaft leaning back), or whether their clubface is too open (clubface laying on the plane at release). But how can you SEE (as opposed to just have a gut feeling) how much sometime snaps their chain?

Look at the youtube swingvisions and check out how some of them really slow down certain parts of their bodies before impact

I would have to agree with Kevin. With 2-D video you will have to look at swingvision swings or Casio swings on YouTube at higher frame rates to see the sequence of motion.

Here is a link with tour pro swings you can watch in super slow motion PGATOUR.com - SwingPlex - Home of Slow Motion Player Swings

Check out how many pros cock the left wrist late in the back swing as well as how many have a one piece take away look. You will not see very many cocking the left wrist up early.
