Check out the 'Throwing a Screwball' link on this page to find out about the mechanics of throwing a screwball.
Since there seems there isn't a link i will explain it for you. I used to throw it a lot. But what you do is you hold it like a four-seam fastball. What you have to do after this is you must pronate your wrist. Which means you twist you hand, wrist, and forearm counter-clock wise. This will give the ball a spin that will "chop" the air to the right of it (if its a RHP, and vis-versa if its a LHP) causing it to move that direction. But beware, it is a potentially harmful pitch, especially if done wrong! Use it sparingly! If you feel pain, then stop throwing it!

Your index and middle finger help determine the direction the ball will travel. Put some body motion into the throw to force more energy to the ball.
Watch some professional softball on TV.

∙ 10y agoA screwball in Baseball is a pitch thrown in the opposite direction of a curveball or slider. A right-handed pitcher who throws a screwball breaks from left to right, vice versa for a left-handed pitcher.

Because a softball is heavier then a baseball.
a softbal is not easy to throw- you probably are not throwing a real softball.
An underarm throw in softball is basically a pitch. If you watch a fast pitch softball team, you will see that the pitcher pitches underhand.
