That seems to be the hard part. You want to drop the hands down in the slot to come in from the inside but when you do the "drop" with the hands on the right side how to keep the opposite left shoulder low as you spoke of

true...
Alot of people use the right shoulder to shift the handpath down. Not good for an underplaner.

But...if you uncock the left wrist to the max and get the handle working straight or away from you vs. into you....the right shoulder can work down more.

Yes it can.
kevin, you said.. Alot of people use the right shoulder to shift the handpath down. Not good for an underplaner. Then you said make sure you keep the left shoulder low and closed in the first move down. Are you saying to use your left shoulder to lead the downswing????

Not quite sure how you're interpreting it that way. What do you mean by lead? The left shoulder moves first? In that case, no.
Ok, I have tried many things over tha last 2 weeks to make this happen and I think I finally have found something I can repeat. If I 'pause a bit at the top' I notice that at counterfall my hips are square to the ball and my shoulders are still closed/turned ~60 degrees. Is this what we are after?
Further, is this desired position the same as 'keeping the left side bend'?

Could this be NHA 3.0?
Mimicking Sergio, I hit the highest straightest 7 iron of my life.

It took me a long time to figure this out, amazing the difference it makes.

I went back out and hit 20 sloppy pushes, and only 3 "Sergios". The golf god's laugh

I agree. I am a TSPer (steeper downswing like Jack Nicklaus for those who aren't up on the lingo) and I have no idea.
Wish I could make it happen (and function) even to some satisfying degree. Just for my own knowledge. (understanding)
No.
I hope I can explain it. It is moving the clubhead away from your body(on a vector straight from your belly button) during the downswing using your hands. Watch the clubhead on Sergio's down swing. As he drops his hands straight down real close to his body, the clubhead wants to stay behind his body. The tumble is what makes the clubhead moving in front of his body.

Some people tumble with the right shoulder as well.
I thought using the right shoulder would add more of a carry.
Ahh. So, from the top of the backswing, let the club get laid off some, then do you turn hard to the target with your right shoulder? or go more right shoulder to the ball?
