@Mark Lopez - Without getting into any kind of specific analysis here, I just want to piggyback off of the dialogue between you and @Nocona Colt Abernathy as it relates to the trail foot. That foot is simply reacting to the lower body action in the swing. Many golfers get too active in the wrong way with the lower body, and oftentimes it's the hip rotation kicking in too early. This can reroute the club across the ball, and it will also have the effect of bringing the trail foot up onto the toes.
Without getting too far ahead of your progress through the school, in Part 2 of The Best Contact Drill I speak about the lower body action and offer a drill to help quiet it. Give it a try and you will begin to appreciate what he was saying in his "critique" of your swing.
By the way, I trust his judgment immensely and it sounds like you've got a lot of great things going on!
