Maybe this can help, it works for me. I've been playing since 1962 and I'm on the smaller size for a man, 5'9" 160 pounds but I average 240 to 260 off the tee. Occasionally I'll notice a drive will be shorter and it's because I'm not following through correctly. I'm righthanded and I found if I take my lead foot, left foot, and point it down the fairway toward the target, then I am forced to follow through. If that's a little uncomfortable, move the back foot so it's not turned outward but more toward the ball. I will usually regain my momentum when I do this and gives me the proper follow through.
