loaded question here..
I don't know if it is something related to ones body structure but to me, playing German is like walking with one leg tied to my back. I suck at it. French Bow is as natural to me as shaking a friends hand. German is like a fist fight with my hands tied up in a canvas bag. Not very comfortable in the least.
GET A PROFESSIONAL ORCHESTRA PLAYER/TEACHER WHO KNOWS BOTH BOWS. He will help you choose what is best for you. Playing of poor grade French bows is NO reason to play German so you can over press the strings when bowing.
