Spinning the Meatballs

I am trying to teach myself the Mike Austin method. I just finished reading the book, "How to Kill the Ball." It was very interesting. I tried some of the drills as I was reading and now feel fairly comfortable with the basics of the swing. I am going to really work on it this weekend at the range.

For anybody that has read this book, my question is this. What exactly does the author mean when he is talking about "Spinning the Meatballs?" He is talking about how to use your right arm as a power source, but I'm not sure exactly what he is referring to. All of the other examples, such as scooping the ice cream, throwing the loaf of bread, the amusement park, etc..., were real clear. However, I'm struggling with understanding the spaghetti. Could one of you Austin experts please explain?

Thanks

P.S.- The book is great. I really think it will help my game. The swing seems much easier than the traditional "toe-up-on-backswing" swing.
