[O.B.Left]

Is Apps a hitter? I dont know, maybe.

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.
