so i played a quick 9 today and noticed that EVERYTHING from driver to 35yrd pitches were coming way off the toe of the club. it was cold (mid 40's) and windy, so maybe i was just tense cuz of that. any other reasons why i could be hitting it off the toe?

Anecdotal evidence from me says yes. I don't usually hit off the toe, but I was playing in the rain and cold - my first time playing in bad conditions - over Presidents' Day weekend and was hitting off the toe.

(despite my handicap, I don't hit off the toe in good weather. It's that whole aiming correctly and picking the right club that kills me in the long game)

For a few weeks I too was hitting off the toe but not with disastrous results. Just never felt that satisfying click when you hit the spot. Found out I was taking the club away too much on the outside and doing a big loop inside on the downswing hence hitting it off the toe. It's always cold in England so who knows, it might just be the weather...

i have a feeling that it was a combination of your two answers. i played 18 at bluemash today (tough, tough course www.bluemash.com ) and it was slightly warmer. while a still toed a couple of them, i tried taking the club away on a more insie plane, and that seemed to work well. thanks for the tips.

      Day 35, June 8. Before leaving for work this morning (yes, I'm posting this quite late relative to the practice), I spent 15 minutes practicing at home, into a net.  This time, it was primarily 9-iron (full swings), with some UW (full and half) and a few 6-iron.

      Day 73: just some mirror work today. Working on feels for being open and getting the front shoulder down.

      I'm liking this. Finally getting down hands in front of my trail leg pocket consistently at A6 with much better clubhead position (relatively not as tipped out). I can really pressure the shaft through impact with good face control  from this position and stay in balance. Won my first one v one march 5&4 against a 4 hcp who routinely drives it 35-40 yards past me in the men's club match play . Frustrated him with some solid iron play and air tight putting.

      Day 8 (Jun 8 26) - Stayed the drill but added two additional irons (7i, 8i and 9i) - using Divot Board and hard foam balls - focused on tempo and purposed pause at the top….noticing how open the club is marking the board when I try to kill it and how much more square (and better distance) when I focus on these keys.
