Hold the ball like a 4 seam fast ball but with only 3 fingers. hold it very gently.
When you come to the point in your release where you are about to throw, your hand should be cocked down like a cheesy kung-fu fighter. Then, snap your wrist up and the ball will flip out of your fingers and just loop into the strike zone.
With practice you'll get it perfect. If you're having trouble with the flip, just practice lobbing a ball into the strike zone and slowly work into the flip.
