Great tip. I found I was setting up with the club flush to the ground.
I was missing to the right. I hit balls with the toe up a bit and was my impact was much better. My takeaway is much better from this position as well.
Like John, i never knew this before either, i don’t seem to have the hitting to the right problem. After your tip on hitting a draw i can say i almost never hit it right, i am pretty accurate, but not very long. i think i hit behind the ball too much. i know i rarely pick it off cleanly. Maybe hitting with the toe up will fix that a bit?

Very good. This is very important in the swing. Keep checking it in the future. Once you do it enough you will do it all the time.

Paul WilsonTerry,
You always want the toe slightly higher than the heel to make up for clubhead droop. So this is a good thing. Be careful not to get to low though.
Also, I have cures on fat shots here:

If you are hooking it more than slicing the you can go ahead and start working on increasing your leg drive.

RickyRutledgePaul. For pitch shots is the toe up for wedges?
