To set the scene.. I live in the sticks(country) and if I go into a neighboring paddock, I can hit drives into ours. There is a beautiful old river red gum that I aim at which is about 6ft wide. It's out of range which is good because the house it at about the same distance.
Anyways, I was out there today with 25 balls, as usual was fighting a hook until I had about 5 left. I'd been trying everything I could think of with no success and on this ball it was adding a fair chunk of axis tilt at address. Smacked the first one solid but way right, which im far more confident in fixing than way left. Next two were alright but not quite there. Last ball... Axis tilt, rear shoulder down-plane, karate chop, full roll... BANG... HIGH, STRAIGHT, LONG.. lands about 20 yards short of the tree, two bounces straight into it! I shouted "POLE-IE" danced a little jig then thanked the gods I didn’t hit the house
