I don't know what to suggest other than to reload them and I would suggest that, that little bend is not necessary and may be part of your problem. A well loaded snare with the lock set in the 10 or 2 o'clock position will pop over the top with the slightest pressure to the bottom of the loop. Other than boiling are you treating your snares with wax or a dip as this may cause them to slow down.
