How to Check for a Bent Swing Arm

Often times golfers are told the front arm of your swing should not be bent. Saying it is easier than actually being able to do it. Bending the front arm in your swing often results in inaccurate shots due to change in the positions of your club face. Solving the bent arm issue is hard, but checking to see if you have this problem is quite simple.
