6 min
Lottie Woad joins Iona Stephen to break down how she drives the ball with the Titleist GTS3 driver, from setting her tee height to shaping her preferred draw and adjusting trajectory in the wind.
Woad explains how she chooses a starting line and uses tee height to control ball flight. On links courses or in strong crosswinds, she lowers the tee to produce a more penetrating shot and prioritize the fairway. When conditions allow her to be more aggressive, she tees it higher and commits to a fuller swing.
The session also explores the speed behind her driving. Woad reaches 100 mph club speed, 150 mph ball speed and 282 yards of total distance, while discussing the gym work, training and natural speed that have helped her add power over time.
Throughout the conversation, she shares practical insight into launch, spin, shot shape and course management, showing how small setup changes can help create the right drive for the shot in front of her.
