Answer 2

Good mechanics counts for a lot here.

Answer 3

Quick twitch muscles is a myth.  The guy below is right.  Proper technique is the best way to have a quick arm.  Adding strength training though will help the longevity of you swinging hard.

Answer 4

Only practice makes you go faster.  Look at the legendary Bruce Lee - this guy was hyperactive - he would practice anywhere. You can too - for fast effective spiking.

Use the bent elbow which straightens for your spike - adding the wrist movement upon contact with the ball. There should be little shoulder movement (shoulder spikers really pay later, with very sore shoulder muscles). You can practice this elbow flick anywhere (even without hitting the ball)- just be sure to start slowly before doing it super fast. So that at any decent set - you will automatically do the fast spike...

Bruce Lee would practice the same movement 100s of times until it is perfected. And if you think that is too boring - then try doing that with your other arm too.
