Learning to Shoot With A Higher Arch
The key to learning how to shoot with a higher arch is to use your legs and not your arms to add height to the ball, as you flick your wrists. Flick the ball two to five feet high. The player can catch the ball with two hands as it comes down. After you practice this for two minutes, shoot the ball four to 10 feet straight up using the wrists and legs. Practice this drill for two minutes.

The "arch" refers to the arc on your shot, not your body. The higher the shot, the bigger the rim is when it finally lands. Shaq throws darts at the free-throw line, it shrinks the rim, he misses lots of free-throws.

Get more lift with your legs, shoot the ball up and out. It's that simple.
