Why did Homer call it a right arm swing, if the right arm swing using 10-3-K is a Hit through impact?

The Right Arm Swing is not a Hit through Impact. Nor does it employ the Bat as the means to its end. Instead, it is a Swing with active Right Arm participation and a Right Elbow Center. These last two characteristics are also attributes of the Hitter's Bat Minor Basic Stroke, but that is where the association ends. The 'loosened Wrists' of the Right Arm Swing give that Stroke its Rope Handle character, just as the rigid Wrists of the Bat give it its Axe Handle character.

But the Bat (driven by Muscular Thrust) is not the Right Arm Swing (driven by Centrifugal Force).

Or vice versa.

I believe the right arm swing has both muscular thrust and centrifugal force per 2-M-1....the Full Sweep or Random Sweep release gives the right arm swing its swing characteristics (lengthwise acceleration...longitudinal acceleration).....however, there has to be a release action when using right arm acceleration....whether the release is early or late is the players choice.....if the player employs maximum trigger delay and a snap release, the action becomes more of a hit rather than a swing. In the right arm swing, the golfer DOES NOT drive the right arm through impact without a releasing action (or you will get a clubhead throwaway condition per 6-D-2)....the trigger is non-automatic instead of an automatic trigger.
