Are Djokovic and Murray hitting the flex-flex 2 hander?

[gsheiner]

Seems to me that both Murray and Djokovic have a slight flex in their left arms at contact on a majority ( if not all) of their 2 handers.

Personally a slight flex in the left arm feels more natural to me.

Since these 2 have great 2 handers, is there any technical advantage to the slight flex?

In John's great article on the 2 hander, he mentioned that the slight flex in the left arm was rare and identified JC ferrero as one of the few who hit it.

Greetings,
could you provide a link to a Ferraro's video?
