The hitter should not think of the arms throwing the bat this cause rotation problems, and is more of a linear technique with less batspeed, but the hitter should think of the hands and wrists as throwing the bat.

Jeff, I think you have it backwards. If you think of the hands and wrists as throwing the bat, I think there is a better chance of deviating from the circular hand path. Try the experiments that one of the previous posters used (soccer ball). I tried it and it works.
