For me Tong when I get the right handpath my body just knows that the pelvis has to be more open or I don't hit it. I have back problems so getting the hips open enough is something I unconsciously avoid. How do I avoid? By changing the handpath to something that does not require open pelvis. Result: no power, bad impact etc. So for me the pelvis does happen by itself and is dependent on handpath.

I've got some of this going on too I think. It never used to be a problem, but I hadn't played or practiced but twice over the last 4 months. I had a 3 or 4 month long kidney stone fiasco. It got stuck for 3 months, then they did a lithotripsy to bust it up. Anyways, they say it's gone but I still have some lingering pain. I lost between 10 and 15 lbs from the whole thing and I was already only 5'9" and 160 lbs. Last time I played it was nothing but crazy push slices and semi-shanks. Went out and practiced and shanked at least a quarter to a third of the balls. It seems like if I really, really focus on keeping my "bumpy back", and my weight more on my heels I can make decent contact.
This whole thing really bums me out because before the kidney stone I was playing the best golf of my life and had 3 consecutive lowest rounds. I'm thinking the lack of activity and weight loss from the chronic pain has weakened my body as a whole and is contributing to all of this business. I've been putting a little weight back on, but now winter is here and practice will be limited. Just got married and bought a house in October so what precious practice time I would have had has been spent gutting and remodeling a bathroom (you're welcome dear).

I used to do this, too.
Finney posted something once about how you need the club to not be in the plane of the hands coming down. This out-of-plane condition gives you something to pull against, so that when they do eventually line up (the club and the handpath), you get a lot more juice on the club as it swings out. This helped me better understand the handpath and tumble stuff.
Sorry if that doesn't make sense, maybe Finney can help explain it.

Yes I have been here for a few years and own soft draw and nsa .. Anything in either of those that explains tumble better?
I think i understand what your saying about club following hands on way down..
So i assume i need to find a different hand path on the downswing correct?

I hit it just good enough to not be a hack so no I am not happy . I believe I and most of us here have crazy potential to be great at golf if we are willing to continue to learn. We certainly aren't lacking in the passion department

This thread sums up tumble pretty well. IMO you must understand what Alexander Noren is doing.

Shoot that video was deleted from YouTube. Here is one of Johnson Wagner doing something similar.

He's already "shanking the arse" of that Goat.

It comes down to doing the thing that is most talked about and elusive in golf-
You must get the club horizontal enough WITH a vertical hand path coming out of transition. They don't go together but you have to find a way to do it. That is the only way to tumble. It takes patience and trust that you will hit it far enough without an all out pull from the top.

Nice catch Jeremy. Hands lower than a snake's testicles as Kevin says.
Effortless release.

The Wagner video shows the tumble, but the most important part happens before that

At the range now and nothing but clouds and lightning in th sky
Get out there and get to work. Getting hit by lightning ain't as bad as goat humping a backed up shaft!

Seriously, what are the chances you'll be struck by lightning? Get out there and get in some work!
(If anyone was struck by lightning, I'm only kidding with him)

The qualified guys will give the right advice, but if you also want a little unqualified to go with it... leave that 3 iron at the house.
