— Practice your bow hold before practicing this exercise —
Keep thumb bent • Relax and arch all fingers • Rest fingers on the bow (Don't grip.)
Pronate you forearm to create slight pressure • Hinge at your elbow to bow • Use short strokes in the middle of the bow
Once you have this memorized, watch in a mirror to make sure you're bowing with straight yaw.
