Coach,
I don't believe you are on the correct board for your post, but I'll add a little bit FWIW. I happen to agree with the part abount not "slapping" from the right side. As you noted, this mechanic is a derivitive of the drag bunt and, as far as I'm concerned, you cannot "drag" a bunt from the right side. What you are describing as a "fake and draw" is what I grew up knowing as hit it where they ain't or placing the ball. To me a slap is just that, slapping at the ball, seeking more control than power. Maybe it is just a matter of terminology. Some feel that you have to have a label for everything and in softball, it seems that whatever isn't a bunt or a powerful swing is called a slap. JMHO,
