A stroke is a stroke. There is a strong link between all the strokes from a basic pattern 12-1/2-0 - practicing one is practicing the other from a mechanics pattern standpoint... Basic, Acquired and Total Motion... and they should be very much viewed as a single entity....
However at the same time - there is individual uniquenesses to preforming each.....ie on full shots you strive for maximum lag pressure - on partial shots you need to control the degree....etc etc
