Ernie Parker's Wrist Snapper - $24.95snapper 

Ernie developed The Wrist Snapper training device to teach his students the importance of a proper wrist snap at the pitching release point and to help strengthen the wrist and forearm.  This training tool focuses specifically on that part of the release which can present some frustrating problems for the fastpitch player,  the snap.  This product addresses the problems of weak and incorrect snaps for both underhand and overhand pitching or throwing.  The device is great for other sports such as baseball or tennis where a strong wrist snap can help to produce additional power and movement. 

When the wrist snap is performed properly, the device produces a distinct sound that is both heard and felt, providing instant feedback.  If the wrist snap has a twisting motion or is not snapped hard enough, no distinctive sound is produced.  With this tool, the player gets both positive and negative feedback instantly.  During the process of shaping the snap correctly and receiving positive feedback, muscle-memory builds and strength builds as well.  All of these come together to improved the shape and strength of the wrist snap.

The Cannonball by BenMac - $19.00cannonball 
 
The CANNONBALL is such a simple way of warming up, strengthening, and toning the arm, that it's unbelievable.  You'll find this out the first time you use it! When warming up with the CANNONBALL, you only want to throw it easy about 10 to 15 tosses, and then throw a regular ball easy about 3 to 4 tosses, then gradually pick up the speed another 10 tosses, or until you feel comfortable.

Another way of strengthening is to use it on non-game days, by throwing it against a solid wall such as brick or concrete, and the ball will bounce back to you, so you can practice ground ball drills.  On non-game days you can throw the ball until your arm gets tired (do not over do it, or throw the ball hard).

The Cannonball weighs 1 pound and is composed of solid rubber.
