Should the toe of the club at address be higher by having your arms lower?

Should the toe of the club at address be higher by having your arms lower? I read that the arms should be "low" which would make the toe of the club higher at address. When the actual swing happens, there is a natural flattening of the club due to the shaft bending which would even out the higher toe. Any thoughts? Is this accurate?

Hello Krishna. The toe will be slightly higher at address and will not be perfectly flat to the ground. At setup you will have some angle in your wrists due to how the hang correctly from the shoulder sockets and distance from the ball. At impact with the club being fully released and the phenomenon called shaft droop. The hands will be slightly higher and the club flush with the ground.
