In a word, don't rotate the arm 180 degrees, because that hammers the ball into the ground.

To make the ball fly high in the air, the arm should stop early. Probably, it should stop after it has rotated 45 or 90 degrees compared to its initial position. However, if you rotate the arm more than 90 degrees, you will aim the ball down to the ground and not up in the air.
