Good video but I still think it's easier, with one less timing thing to worry about, to just cup the wrist in the stance and leave it cupped until the release.

tried cupping my wrist with the ball in my hand at home and practiced swinging the ball.. The ball seems too heavy for my hand to support if i cup it.. any idea how to strengthen it?

Sure. Sit down and lean forward slightly. Rest your elbow against your hip area with the back of your forearm against the thigh, wrist just past the knee, palm up. Allow your wrist to bend back wards then curl your wrist up towards the forearm and hold for a second or two, then relax. Once you feel comfortable performing this action then you can add objects to your hand or fingers to add weight or use a dumb bell if available. As soon as I get a few minutes I will make a video of this and post it here so you can see exactly what I mean, in case there is any doubt.

Fantastic Video
I'm wondering about hand position
I am assuming the fingers are in the 4 5 O'Clock position
If you have the hand directly behind /under the ball all this will do is put more forward roll on the ball
Will it not??

Depends on what axis rotation you are wanting to create. Most people get a nice, controllable rotation just from starting with their fingers at 6 and rotating to 4. With the cupping it doesn't take a tone of finger rotation to generate a good axis rotation. A lot of the pro's (Rash, Jones) actually start more along 8 with the fingers and rotate to 5. This gives them plenty of axis rotation, cupping for the revs and the finish at 5 generates a little more speed.

Depends. How weak your wrist is will be a factor.
