X you are going about it the best way, starting in Basic Motion and you are asking the best questions, truly. The answers are more complicated than they should seem to be but its worthy of study.

If you dont have the book please buy it, you'll need it to fully understand all of this. The Minor Basic Strokes are defined by arm motions. The Major Basic Strokes are defined by Right Elbow Position. So for a Hitter using Push Basic his
Minor and Major Basic Strokes will have different Right Arm Motions. As if you used your karate thing (right arm Push) for short shots (its one way anyways, not the only way for a Hitter) and a sort of side arm throwing motion for the longer shots with the elbow leading. One purely inline, linear thrust the other more radial, approaching a swingers right elbow position.

In Basic Motion the Hitter and Swingers methods may seem like total polar opposites. This distinction lessens as you move towards longer and longer shots. The Punch Elbow of the Hitter can, for some, get darn close to a Pitch Elbow for instance. Push Basic is a fine method for short shots but underpowered for longer shots where we need a more dynamic throwing motion with the right arm.

Check out Lynn here in this video and the one armed demonstration he makes on what the right arms motion is in Total Motion. Around the 40 second mark or so. Now he wasnt expecting us to look at that microscopicly and I bet if you slowed down the film, his actual swing would show his right elbow to be leading a bit more but I sure wish I noticed that elbow position and arm motion when I was mistakenly trying to use a linear right arm Push in Total Motion.

One piece at a time, like the journey you describe above and it will open up for you. You'll love it in the end. A book or riddles, like golf itself. We always knew the truth would be abstract didnt we? Its a damnable game afterall, designed by the devil and played by crazies.
