Bounce pour = Multiple pour, bouncing from glass to glass

Aggressive/Snap cut = Single pour, snapped aggressively to stop the pour as 
quickly and cleanly as possible.

Different pours in my opinion. The only part which is similar is the ending.

In reference to why I posted the names of these different pours:- 

It was in relation to POUR TESTING. Some people find it really easy to do a 
SINGULAR pour and snap aggressively, whereas, the same person will have 
difficulty doing MULTIPLE BOUNCE POURS and then snapping aggressively to cut. 
There is a HUGE difference. Hence the reason for me saying that you should 
practice these different 'movements' as part of your pour test. Its something 
that comes with experience/practice and very few tenders can successfully 
bounce pour at first attempt. The vast majority can cut a singular pour wuth 
success.

Hope this clears up any debate!

Cheers,

Adam
