Default DP Extra does ugly snaps

I'm planning on using my new DP Extra for Sportsman this year. When doing the snap, it looks more like a fast barrel roll than a snap. This is very disappointing because my other airplanes (CGM Sukhoi, CGM Ultimate) snap beautifully. It's almost like the Dave Patrick doesn't stall during the snap. My buddy that flies a DP Edge says I need to switch on high throw rates to do a snap. I never have had to do that on any other airplane before. I also seem to have a lot of over-rotation compared to my other airplanes.

I'm not even sure how the snap is judged. If I have a pronounce positive pitch during a roll, is it good?

What to do?
