If the bat is moving forward at the point of contact, consider it a slap hit attempt. If the bat is held still (or even, may be a better thought) or is being pulled back to deaden contact, it is a bunt.

Ignore what you hear from the peanut gallery referencing the hand location; you can bunt with hands together, and you can slap with hands separated.
