The frog: friend and foe

Who fears down bows at the frog? Almost nobody. Who fears up bows at the frog - and therefore avoids the frog ? Lots of people. The frog doesn't have to be scary on up bows and we don't have to give up that valuable bow hair real estate. We can equally enjoy the whole length of the bow in both directions. It is a matter of balancing the stick with your third and fourth finger and putting the elbow high enough so it doesn't weigh down the arm. Try it!
