"Is this a bunt or slap?"

Three clues:

1. Normally the hands will be together for a slap, apart for a bunt. (Normally!) Often the hands are apart for a fake bunt, then bottom hand slides up to meet top hand for a slap.

2. Wrists break on a slap, push on a bunt.

3. Barrell of bat is traveling faster than handle on a slap; even with handle on a bunt.
