Whats the Correct body distance from the ball while tee-ing off

Correct Body Distance While Teeing Off - More Golf Setup Tips

If your body is too close or far positioned from the ball, your distance and aim will be greatly effected. First position yourself behind the ball as normal. If you are right handed, grip the club as usual. Let your right hand go from your grip. If you are positioned just right, it will stay in the same location as when you gripped the club. If you are too far from the ball, your hand (when you release it) will fall towards the end of the shaft. If too close, your hand will fall further down the shaft. For lefties, this drill should be done with the left hand. This only takes a couple seconds to do but will improve your distance and accuracy.

Frankly, I don't get it. Position yourself 'behind the ball as normal'? Your right hand will stay 'in the same position as when you gripped the club'? Maybe I need a visual aid, because that doesn't make sense to me.
