I have never mowed st. Augustine with my snapper pro, but the lawn at my old house is zoysia. My snapper pro left a great cut on it. My wife loved to walk bare foot in the lawn because it was so soft. Several of my neighbors came to me and asked if they could take some plugs from my lawn so they could sprig theirs. The lawn at my new home is mainly Bermuda and has been neglected for years. Had clover, nutt grass, and crab grass in it in large areas. Got rid of most of the clover. Now I'm working on the other two.
Everybody that I know that cuts for a living always cuts Bermuda grass with a rotary mower when actually it should be done with a reel mower. Bermuda is good grass for some areas, it's pretty much drought resistant and they use the stuff over on the coast because there's not much shade and it's supposed to be salt tolerant. The big problem with cutting the stuff is it really can eat up a set of blades on a rotary mower because of the height of the cut.
