Tony - this works well for me...
put the ball in dominant hand (right for me) and keep elbow at 90 degree angle to the floor. walk in and get a good bend in your knees (like if you were going to shoot a free throw). As you begin to stand up, bring your arm up in a straight-line movement and release the ball as your arm is fully extended (you should also be on the balls of your feet at this point - again, think about the mechanics of shooting a free throw).

I use a similar technique: but I come in, dip the knees slightly, holding the ball with both hands (elbows resting against ribs), and lift it up straight starting from my waist area, and releasing about eye level. I (usually) get very good control and height.
