I will say that most coaches that I am seeing are teaching the straight arm method.
Wow, thats a first. Never seen a coach or any book ever teach someone that.
Straight doesn't necessarily mean locked.
A lot of people confuse a "bent arm" with an arm that is straight, but not locked.
I shoot with a straight arm, unlocked.
Same here. I was alwats told to shoot with a bent arm, but found out that the truth is you just need to make sure your arm is not locked, and then decide on your own whether you want your arm straight, slightly bent, bent, etc. It is really based on your shooting style, as long as your arm isn't locked.
