Fingers
BLB - I have seen very few ladies pitch that use the fingers as an effective spin producer. Every pitching instructor should catch a male pitcher at least once, in my experience the males spin the ball tighter by using finger pressure. Another real eye opener is to watch an elite male pitcher in warmups.
Less stress on the body, more break, multiple pitches with the same grip and the pitch is harder for the batter to pick.
I do like a wrist snap, in my view it produces a more effective whip to power the ball. As I want to use the fingers, and not the elbow, shoulder or step, to spin the ball the wrist movement is important.
