I have also on occassion caught myself allowing the left arm to bend dramatically. Not good. That is the "sloppy" that Broadus speaks of. Firm but relaxed with a "natural" bend that comes back to straight on the down swing is for me fundamentally sound. And I cannot overstate how important I have found "relaxed" to be. Of course this one principle is what everyone always ultimately comes back to.

I agree again slater, too much analyses just causes paralyses .
thanks again teevino
one thing i have practised more than anything is my preshot routine!
i meticulously check grip,alignment,ball position and posture then its one waggle press forward and go that lets me swing in a relaxed manner as you said and more often than not results in a good shot!
the rest i can live with
