I'm having a tough time even visualizing this shot.

Is it the low part? Would it be from a face that is closed way too much and coming down too steep? I really don't know (obviously).

How 'bout ... OTT + hooded face + decelerating + losing posture prior to impact ?
Curtis, When I do this I get what you got. It isn't a pretty site.
I guess a patch would be, "Don't do that", but I'm sure these are only symptoms of one or more root issues. Our knowledgeable forum members will perhaps help with those.

Hitting it fat, off the toe, is not consistent with a pull - more a block to the right or push slice.

Aim your club to hit a more forward low point. It also sounds like your irons may be too upright.

Well I'm no genius but the ball is going LEFT, I'm getting more TURF than normal, the flight is LOWER, and the club has ball marks on the TOE.
I thought toe strikes were more out-in and heal strikes were in-out??

Don't really understand the first part, sorry. The irons are already bent 2* flatter so I "think" they are ok. thx

Hitting it fat off the toe suggests to me that the heel of the club is getting past the ball before the toe, due to the toe being slowed down by the fat (pre-ball) contact. Therefore, the ball should go right.
Out to in or in to out don't seem too relevant to what is actually happening because, for example, if you hit it fat and off the heel then the heel would be slowed down by the fat (pre-ball) contact and the toe would be first past the ball. The upshot of this would be exit left.
However, with driver especially, contacting the big green ball before the little white mofo usually has the effect of squaring up the club face.
