Take your right hand and place it right behind the top of your shin guard and lock this arm. This will give you the best of both worlds, flexibility for the exposed arm, and a good locking mechanism as well.

Most us wear the CP underneath a shirt. One cannot tuck the hand inside the CP. Only three options exits: 1) allow the left arm to fall in front of the body (ala the waiter), 2) allow the left arm to rest on or behind the knee (ala GD) , or 3) allow the left arm to sit in the small of the back (ala the speed skater).

I, personally, like choice #3 to prevent the inevitable after taking a few shots off the left hand. I enjoy the comfort of holding on to the indicator throughout the entire game.
