easy way to add more zip on the ball is to hold the ball properly as well. if yer hands are big enuff, grip the laces further up in yer hand, under the 2-3 knuckles instead of on the tip of the fingers. this gives u a tighter spiral, and more sing to the ball, once u get use to the grip.
Proper form in throwing is essential as well. its amazing how much extra power u can get form jsut snapping yer wrist at the right moment of the release. Make sure u have a good follow through as well, so that yer body gives it the most force from the delivery.
Thowing a baseball 2-3 times a week for about 30 mins will help as well.. the machanics are similar, and will work yer arm muscles from a slightly differnt angle.
Triceps are a good muscle to work, but never neglect the legs. with a good base and proper from, u can get a ton of power outta yer legs and body movement.. yer arm is only about 20% of the actual thow when u get down to it. Machanics, timing, release, and follow through are the keys.
Keep workin on it, and with proctice and dedication you'll up yer yardage.
