To do a left hand slap, you let your fingering hand snap down on the finger board to produce a sound similar to (but a bit quieter than) the sound of a muted slap. It should no rebound off the string as your thumb would rebound but should NOT snap down hard enough to sound any notes. Keep your fingers relatively loose, but not flappy. Also note that the sound produced will be louder when the string hit is vibrating.
The left hand slap is very useful if you need to produce a muted slap sound immediately after another note and not tire out your thumb. The left hand slap usually does the job much faster than your thumb, especially if you need to do something else with your thumb.
