Set hands inside the left thigh for forward contact

The coach explains that your hand position at setup determines your point of contact — moving the hands forward moves contact forward, moving them back moves it back. As a general rule he recommends placing your left hand inside your left thigh so you're set to hit the ball first and take a divot in front of it. He warns that hands too far forward tend to make you top or thin the ball, while hands too far back make you chunk it.
