Way back when I shot wrist-rocket style frames, I held a slightly canted frame and didn't twist the pouch. When I started shooting gangsta style I couldn't get a comfortable wrist position without twisting the pouch 90*. My first bunch of shots were at very close distance because I thought they would go wild because of the twist. Well, the twist never caused a problem and my accuracy improved as I learned how to aim with the sideways forks. It's been about 10 years with pouch twisting and I have never hit a fork with many tens of thousands of shots. Actually, the one fork hit I had was when trying the learn aerial shooting. I moved the frame into the ball flight when tracking the moving target so I don't count that one.
I have shot 50 and 75 yards with a twisted pouch and the ammo flight is very visible on a sunny summer day. The flights look good. You can generate a curveball or dropball if your follow-through or wrist flip is bad but a solid shot with twisted pouch looks fine on the long shots. When my shoulder is rested I can do well on a pop can at 20 yards. Once it cuts in half I can sometimes do well on the hanging half of the can. I've never had a problem with twisting the pouch. With that said, I noticed that lots of the Chinese tournament shooters don't twist.
This is a good discussion topic and I often wonder whether a non-twist pouch is more accurate. If it causes wrist tension problems then it likely won't help your accuracy. Accidental pouch tweaking can ruin accuracy and cause fork hits but that's different than 90* twisting.
