Spaghetti Arms

I was trying to describe the way a follower's arm can respond without adding a dimension of too much resistance, and I came up with spaghetti.
The phrase "spaghetti arms" is often used to refer to a complete lack of resistance, making leading impossible.
However, if we think of dry spaghetti, just out of the box, not boiled soft yet, maybe we can get her to think of her arms differently. The follower's resistance is delicate, firm, responsive, without offering enough resistance that the strand of dry spaghetti would break.
It does require some imagination because the proportions are so different, and arms don't break easily. You just have to treat them as if they would. And I just checked. Dry spaghetti will bend a bit.
