Yoda will need to help clarify...
The Minor Basic Strokes classify the various Arm Motions used normally in the Short Shots. Homer Kelley early on defined the Pull Minor Basic Stroke used for the Longitudinal, Centrifugal Acceleration of Swinging, i.e., you Pull the Clubshaft through Impact. Somewhere along the way, he realized he had no Minor Basic Stroke for the Hitter's Radial, Muscular Acceleration, i.e., you Push the Clubshaft through Impact. Hence, the aptly named Bat, a short, strong Thrust that is as pure a Hitting procedure as you'll ever see.

Now, it is true that Homer himself characterized the Right Arm Swing as "the Bat with loosened Wrists." However, their only similarities are the active Right Arm participation and the Right Elbow Stroke Center. Otherwise, the two Strokes retain their separate identities, poles apart on the spectrum that is Swinging versus Hitting.
