Thanks Tom, for the input. The shots do seem crispy but not in the center of the club yet. Looking for the center. By the way, I received my copy of "Fearless Golf" today. From the few pages I read so far, I think its going to be a good book to read.
@emuniz - I'm glad to know that you purchased Fearless Golf. It's sure helped me quite a bit on the course.
If possible take some video of your swing as it will give you some clues as to why you're getting those toe hits. You can also post your swing videos in the Forum's Video Analysis Room, where your fellow members can offer some feedback. When doing so it is most helpful to post two videos - one down-the-line (captured from your stance line, not the target line) and the other face-on perpendicular to the target line.
Alternatively, you may wish to give some thought to the V1 Swing Video Analysis – an extremely valuable service that I highly recommend to everyone in the school. This enables me to put my eyes on your swing and offer some very specific observations and corrective action plans if applicable. I liken it to bringing your swing into the shop for a tune-up or minor repair. Scheduling one on a quarterly basis for preventive maintenance will do wonders for keeping things humming along nicely, and it's also a great tool for pinpointing and resolving any issues that arise. The process involves downloading the free V1 app and then submitting those same two videos to me through the app. You'll find more information about the V1 Analysis halfway down this page on the Saguto.Golf site.
I agree on staying quiet but my ball marks are just off center toward the toe but not past the end of the the groves. Cannot figure out how to move it to the center. I tried moving the club forward to the heel of club and more weight on the toes and still wind up at the same place. Any suggestions?
@emuniz - Assuming the ball is being addressed properly in the center of the face, toe hits typically occur when the club is coming across the ball from the outside. Based on your description and without looking at your swing, it sounds like yours is not a severe case of steepness - but still the club may be rerouting just prior to impact. Check out this diagnostic video, and if it seems to be the case then there are several corrective drills that follow it. Taking video of your swing will definitely help you with diagnosing the issue.
There are other causes for the toes, but this is probably the most common.

I fought myself chocking down on the club causing me to pull in on the down swing.

The sweet spot is definitely getting sweeter, @Brandon Wall. Nice work!!
Keep up the good work. Look at your swing in the mirror and I'll bet a solution is found there.
Looks like you are dialing it in! 👍
