[/quote]Trolling around per usual and stumbled on this post. I am aware of how to sole the club correctly with regards to the ball being addressed towards the toe, but I did not know about the toe sticking up in the air. Can anyone enlighten me? Is that in 2-J-3?[/quote]

This point has always confused me. I find it easy to hover the driver, not irons. Homer says:

"A geometrically proper procedure is to establish the correct radius with the Clubhead rasied to the desired Impact realtionship. Then maintain the center of the arc-that is, the left shoulder-as now established, and hold the Hands at the height and angle now established, then let the club swing down from the Wrist to rest on the ground. Now apply Extensor Action (6-B-1-D) to stretch the left arm and 'get as 'far away from the ball as possible.' (Without disturbing any of the Fix alignments) So- 'Soled,' the ball is toward the Toe of the Clubface, but 'on center' for Impact. All this is the geometry for a clean pick-off.

2-J-1.
It seems to me that by letting the club swing down from the Wrist, the left wrist goes from level to uncocked and that the toe, correspondingly, gets lowered, not raised.
Now I am not at all sure about this and I have never heard of any teachers or even players talk about this. But, on those rare days that my irons can do no wrong, I find something along this line to be instictively correct.
