You've gotten some good tips from other forum members, it's always good to let your peers checkout your swing. Ultimately you may want to seek out a pro that can show you the finer points on video.

Based in what you posted your hands are a bit close to your legs but I like the angle. To get more separation I would get a little more athletic in your stance. Your feet a few inches more apart and slightly more bend at the waist. This will give you a stable base and pull your hands further away from your body, creating space. Your toe jams are coming from not enough space.
Secondly you really have to try to keep that right leg flexed through the entire swing, until impact. This was repeated during the tournament yesterday every time Johnny Miller looked at a swing. This is one of the main things all pros have in common, flex in the right leg. When you make you take away with this flex your swing can only go do far. At this point you are swinging into a reverse C. All your weight is on your left heel and should be on the inside of your right leg when the club is at the top of your swing.
The improper weight shift is causing you be off balance after impact and hitting off you right side instead of hitting with the left side and allowing the right to follow through.
The proper stance will take care of a lot of this. Your swing isn't bad your positions are off. I hope this helps, of you need more drop me a PM.

I am not a pro at all, but the first thing that jumps out at me is how close your hands are to your body....your arms should drop straight down and yours hang to the inside. That causes your hips to spin out to make room and you pull across the ball either hitting slices or dead pulls.

I agree with the other poster....post this in the Ask the Pro Section to get a professional opinion
I agree with this and would add stepping away from the ball a little bit. That should get your hands away from your body and with will promote a more in to out swing...Although, i am not a pro either, just offering some suggestions.

Hitting off the toe is a posture problem as much as anything. Not sure what club you are hitting there but it looks like maybe a 5 iron or longer, if it is your knees are too bent and you are not bent at the waist enough to allow your hands room to get through between your body and the ball. One other suggestion, get settled on a pre-shot routine for how you set up to the ball and use it even on the range, on every shot.

I have already tried moving away from the ball some, but I already hit towards the toe of the club as it is.
I used to hit towards the toe too much as well. I actually found out that I was dragging my toe edge. So I lined up to the ball leaning back further, more on my heals and knees bent. This actually causes me to reach a little further towards the ball with my arms, but what it does for me is when I line up my club at address the toe is a few degrees up. This will allow me to hit the ball with the lie angle flat and I was no longer hitting the ball off the toe. This may be circumstantial and only fixed my swing, but a thought maybe..

That's because your swing is really inside on the take away and then over the top on the down swing.
