Thom, I love the pictures that you put up. My take is Swinger
vs Hitter. Notice the toe of the clubhead and the hands at follow through.
Same as basic motion. Great work.

Yep, same read here, swinger and hitter - two totally different follow-throughs. The swinger should never swing out to the right while the hitter always should.
Certainly different Hinge Actions showing their associated different travel distances of the clubhead. Apps appears to be hitting of a side hill lie. Perhaps he is holding it off a little to ward off going left. A "cut shot", or "hold off", a different "release" of common golf speak and to us Angled Hinging with its shorter Travel Distance at Follow Through. Note the clubface alignment and left wrist which is perpendicular to the inclined plane. A "no roll" feel for Mr Appleby no doubt.

Appleby is purportedly a right sided swinger in the Gary Edwin mould.
What key alignments -- Clubhead, Face and Shaft -- do you monitor?
How do you use these alignments to perfect your Short Game?
I use as part of my pre-shot routine on all shots - including putting - what you might call a 'Follow-Through Fix'.
I start my address at Impact Fix and extend both arms to straight and check my alignments for the shot I'm about to play - rehearse the hinge action, body positions etc - then when I'm ready, I play the shot.
I've found this to enable me to be more focused on each shot I play

Great tip, I do exactly the same thing!
I found it has provided more accuracy in my game as I do precisely see where my hands have to go and what the travel of the clubHEAD will.
It also helps checking the behaviour of the clubFACE in the impact zone - useful if you plan to curve your shots either way.
I wonder if we are not talking about the waggle here?

Thanks very much Yodeli - and thank you also for your great website!
I used to use a waggle like others, but it only gave me a sense of rythm - pre-impact. I often quit on shots and stopped after impact - thereby hitting inconsistently. I was too intent on the Impact, I think.
When I started using this 'Follow-through Fix', I found that my shots were going where I intended more of the time. It felt like I had more control over which type of shot I wanted to play. I then tried it on all my shots - and again I saw a lot of improvement. It also gave me more time and made me more conscious during the shot itself - I wasn't rushing everything because I knew where it was I wanted to go to .... no downswing blackout!
