See what I'm saying? Once the defender bats the ball, it makes no difference whether it get "away" or not.

Ysong is talking about bat = touch and does touching without A losing control = a bat?
Or are you saying that if A1 has ended their dribble and B1 hits the ball and A1 never loses control, that A1 can dribble again?
What a bat is, is defined, intentionally striking the ball with the hand(s). The results of the bat are only discussed in the case plays and the ball being "AWAY" is relevant to an illegal dribble. The bat must cause a loss of control.
