That line is significantly lower (perhaps an inch or so) than the crease that is "behind" the knee.

The verbiage is the hollow of the knee. It's crap. It was about "at the knee" so MLB moons without being anatomically correct, whilst swiggin brewskis no doubt, came up with this trash.
For me, if the ball, with pants on and Super X-ray vision "Off", the top of the ball, is at the bend of the knee which I can see protruding outside the pant when B flexes, I got a strike.
Other than that, at close strikes have a hell of a lot more to do with the quality of F1/F2 play. And B play.
