I just use where his hands went. If his hands got out from his body, regardless of what the bat did, or the wrist, I have a strike. It is easy to call from B and C, and I have found no more complaints using that as the criteria as anything else!
Most importantly is how you sell it. I give every check swing a HUGE emphasis! I sell it like it is the most important call of the game. Seriously, in the last 3 years since I started doing that, I have not had a single arguement about a check swing, and almost no "grumbles".
