In fact, he is consciously avoiding too much release of it beyond a "level" left wrist.

So, it's all pivot and left arm releasing the pa3 (aka supination Mr. Hogan made famous) right after transition with a huge pa3 angle. I "feel" it's swinging, not hitting, mainly because it uses the left side and the pivot.
Not Bucket but

-the left arm being situated where it is, can only pull. It can not push. Pull being Swinging and Push being Hitting. The right arm however can pull or push , depending on where the right elbow is vis a vis the hands. But its a big load on the right elbow to right arm swing . Imagine that shot putter throwing the shot like a baseball pitcher ....he'd rip his elbow apart. The club is lighter of course but... one can feel the twinges as the right elbow approaches pitch elbow with an active right arm.

-Hitting and Swinging are not defined by their Simultaneous or Sequenced tendencies . It is possible to Swing and be Simultaneous. Accumulator #4 for pivot strokes then 2 and 3 together but initiated by a roll of the left hand off the plane. So (4, 2/3) three accumulator swinging firing order as opposed to (4, 2, 3).

- For all but the shortest of shots the left arm is not moving of its own muscle power . Fro pivot strokes the inert left arm is stretched by extensor action and pulled by the turning pivot , the left shoulder . Pulling the club with the left arm can pull the left arm off the chest .. Release . Better to turn the Pivot and let the left arm be "throw off" later by the slowing of the pivot.
