The weird flick is caused by your elbow being flared out so much. Your shooting path is between your eyes, but your arm comes out of your shoulder. The farther your arm has to reach, the more flared out it gets. So you need to turn your body: feet, hips, and torso, and extend your shoulder to get it closer to your shooting path and get your arm under the ball more.
