Seems to me you have determine if the rule applies. If the batter wasnt hindered, obstructed etc... then it doesnt apply.
There are distinct differences in action when pulling a bat back and pulling a bat back and then trying to chop the ball.
Its not a stretch that the average umpire can see the difference.. certainly in most cases.
