Static positional training for the impact hand position

Craig Hanson calls this 'static positional training.' From your address position, put the hands opposite the right leg with a strong, near-right-angle wrist and the hands very low, just above the top of the right knee. Hold that position, picture and feel where the hand was, then hit the shot. He notes he may be slightly exaggerating the position.
