I guess I misunderstood what ArmWhip was advocating. Was he saying that you shouldn't teach "wrist snaps" generally or was he talking about not teaching the "cock your wrist" motion?
My DD had the arm and wrist fully extended straight up at the top of her circle. At release, her hand flopped everywhere after she released the ball. Her coach (Ed Serdar) emphasized having a "loose wrist", and having the hand be the last part of a whip action by the arm.
She did do lots of wrist spins in practice. Wrist spins seems to me to improve the strength and flexibility of the wrist as well as the ability to control the wrist.
