I suspect that the answer is no because a hinge is not a swivel and vice versa.

However, if I swing with what I believe is an angled hinge (the clubface is at an angle at both arms straight), I find that I need to rotate my forearms more in the follow through to achieve the proper finish position. If I don't, I feel as if my swing is short.
In other words, how does one take the club into the finish position when using angled hinging?

I'm sure there's something I'm just not getting.

Thanks in advance.
Can you elaborate on what you mean by 'short'? It sounds to me that you are probably too tense (check grip pressure) and you aren't allowing the natural rotation that occurs, even in an angled hinge. Angled hinge is a no roll 'feel'. It may be that you are trying for closer to a verticle hinge with what you are doing, basically a 'block' move - steering.

It is also likely that your pivot could need some work. Hard to say without seeing your motion.
