How to Hang Snatch and Not Lose Power On Your Pull
Your pulling technique from any position (the hang position, from blocks of various height, mid-thigh, or above/below the knee) should be the exact same as your technique from the floor. Your bar path should not change!
One of the most common errors is that the first pull gets cut short, the bar hits low and you end up with an overall crappy second pull (no power).
Snatch Homework: Start bar in above the knee position, finish the first pull then explode (jump) and catch overhead. Be sure the bar hits right on your belt line and not in the middle of your thigh!
