to me contact position is of utmost importance.
Absolutely, if you don't know where you're going you'll go anywere.

Key words are "use to", I hope. Other than to memorize the position, the goal, the rest has little value. The isometric part seems useless to me. The force is coming from somewhere else. Learning to apply force with the hands is not part of a good swing. Before everyone gets bent out of shape, yes, more strength is better than less strength.
