Problem No. 2 - Tips of Fingers Touching Pencil

Watch for the following problem when students are forming the bowhold with the pencil:

The tips of the fingers should NOT touch the stick. This will result in a loss of bow control.

The first joints of the middle and ring fingers should touch the stick. The index finger should touch the stick at the second joint (or between the first and second joints, as shown). Some teachers advocate the index finger touching at the first joint.
