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.
Thanks for the tip John.......I'm a beginner with 2 artificial hips which limit my follow thru big time. I'd be thrilled to death to be able to approach 200 yards on my drives. Your suggestion may help improve my drives no matter what the distance is that I need. I'll be putting it into practice tomorrow.
