They are lot of things to consider.

1. Usually a fast bowler does have natural swing problem with that is its one way either its out swing or its inswing one have to learn the other.

2. Seem and wrist possiotioning is very important.

3. Wrist should be upright, palm behaind the ball there must be a gap between your palm and and bowl.

4. Now it comes to swing the ball as i erlier told the positioning of seem. If the seem position is directed towards slips or third man at relaease time it should swing away. Like wise if the seem directrion is towards fine leg it should swing in.

5. Seem whouldn't woble and be in upright position that will come with practice first get a grip on your seem position then work on pace.

Hope thats good for a start

Cheers
