Is there any torque-related reason NOT to hold the knob of the bat in the palm of the bottom hand (to "lengthen" the bat and increase leverage)?

By concentrating on throwing my hands in the direction of the ball as i swing, the rotation of my hips, my wrist action, and the locking of my leading leg as i stride, my hitting ability has increased dramatically.
