This Era has ended. The Snake will be technical again.



The 2012 season brings the Snake back to life with the addition of 2 new bunkers:

A shorter and more narrow version of the Giant Beam, the "Snake Beam" and a L shaped bunker, the "Elbow", will be the new components of the spectator side of the field.

Though there is still plenty of space to hide behind, tighter play and better timing will be required."



Elbow bunker:





Snake Beam bunker:













"On the PSP or the Millennium field, those 2012 bunkers not only bring a renewed interest on playing the Snake but also bring 2 extra bunkers to the set. The 6 Giant Beams from the previous seasons are replaced by 4 Snake Beams and 4 Elbows, which will increase the options for field layouts' designs.



The combination of Snake Beams and Elbows also frees up bunkers normally used as knuckles. Those extra bunkers will allow for shorter moves elsewhere on the field and a wider range of play options." And since the cat is out of the bag... here are the pics of those bunkers, so you don't have to go elsewhere..."For the past 10 years, the Snake on an Sup'AirBall field has been pretty much the same.

Comparison new beam and old beam





New beam, in front of old beam, in front of cake:





Close to the top, despite being on your stomach





No room to put your legs under you





Gives you an idea of how small the elbow is, and how much lower in the centre of it
