Found a lot of usefull information and then there are some that leave scratching my head and thinking, "do they even know what they are trying to say?"

Creating the "Whip" Motion
Creating a “whip" motion while heading towards your release is s MAJOR key to spin AND power as a pitcher! That “whip" is all about creating a chain reaction in your arm through your shoulder, through your elbow, and then through your wrist and finger tips through the ball! I explained this to the Canadian pitchers in many different ways while working with them to try to help them create that feeling and understand the concept.
