I like the feel of a straight line to help stop sawing across ball but in reality the hands arc until they are thrown off the tilt a whirl.

So you teach it that way? To go in a half circle? Hope not. Pretty straight until his swinging of the bat.View attachment 14658
The hands go in a circle. There is no A to B. This info has been around for 15-20 years.
(also notice this ball is off the outside of the plate)

His hands move towards the plate because that’s where the pitch is. Outside. Straight line.

If this were straight overhead, you would see this is a perfect circle, like all the others.
The biceps stay close to the torso, and the torso rotates around the spine. So, it's a circle.
Of course, hitters adjust when they are fooled by timing or if the ball is off the plate or otherwise outside the strike zone. They will contort their body, and push the hands if they need to for those purposes.
