The twist helps you rake a little bit better - because instead of pinching your thumb and forefinger together (with the back of your hand facing up) by putting a twist in the handle - you'll turn the back of your hand 180 degrees toward the front.
The broad side of the pick handle is now horizontal - allowing it to rest more easily along the inside of the first joints of your fingers. It's a little easier to rake.
In other words, your pick is vertical - but your handle is horizontal.
