Evan(Big Cat) Williams is an example of a player with both factors you speak of. He is something like 6'6" and probably over 200 lbs.. He was a former National Long Drive Champion.

Now there are guys like Chi Chi Rodriguez, Charles Howell III, and Ben Hogan... all small, light guys. Ben Hogan could drive the ball long when he wanted to.
