Question:
I think of it as using your muscles to keep your arm straight and not to lock your elbow. It should be as straight as possible and the word natural is correct. Best of luck Jef

I doubt whether "all golf pros" would reccomend a stiff left arm. Keep it roughly straight but a little flex in your left arm is fine.
