More forward and backwards control, rather than downwards pressure.
Relaxed right hand. Smooth bow changes.

Go back to my post and do as I suggested. There is no substitute for good training. You can apply your newly gained skills (when you get them) to anything you want to play. This is for the Bow. You will also have to train the left hand to match so you don't have a conflict between them.
