Scott is a lifelong diabetic and can't generate a lot of horsepower. He's not a healthy man and tires easily. Maybe the snap release pattern is the most efficient and is why he could earn over $1.75 million last yr and over $800K so far this yr? Maybe that's why Ben teaches it?

That is a very good observation.
Having a snap release does not guarantee that one will become a big hitter - it just maximizes mechanical advantage. There are other factors in play like hand speed and pivot speed - contrast Scott Verplank's swing to say Sergio Garcia's and Bobby Schaeffer's which have a more "whiplash" effect.
