Get the right knee to the ball before the hands

Craig Hanson describes a downswing move: from the top of the swing, staying centered, get the right knee to the golf ball just before the hands do, then apply a few practice swings to get a feel for it. He calls it a great swing thought and checkpoint, and says that practicing it, rather than leaving the right knee over the right ankle at impact, helps create a more dynamic, free impact position to hit clean, consistent shots.
