snap back
Return to form
Snap back means to return quickly to a previous state or position, like something elastic that's been stretched: The economy snapped back after the recession, She snapped back to her usual self after a few days.
It also describes a sharp verbal retort: He snapped back at his critic.
In sports, a snapback is a flat-brimmed cap with an adjustable plastic closure.
