Weightshift, I agree. However it is the left arm checkrein which prevent straightening before "both arms straight". So what I'm wondering, is if you take the left arm off the grip, then is there value in rehaearsing the stroke with a straight right arm - rehaearsing it with a bent/bending right arm is not representative of what your right arm should be doing in the real stroke (striving to remain straight) - although it may give the geometrical 'look' of what is happening.
