While you want your arms to be straight, don't "lock" your elbow.

Also, make sure that the insode of your elbow is facing (mostly) forward.

A ball that hits your arm will cause the elbow to bend, absorbing much of the force and lessening the chance of a break.

I appreciate that input, Bob.
It reinforces my thoughts, although it contradicts what I have read.
Thanks.
