The first thing we need to check is where did the ball go? If it's rolling in, or near fair territory, we've got to be damn sure it didn't catch the bat before killing it.
So, if the ball's not going to be in play, I'll just kill it, and take a moment to check the batter's reaction. A full second is enough. Remember, it's really tough to go by sound, and a ball hitting the knuckles sounds just like a ball hitting the bat. You'll get the same PING! or KNOCK!
