I'm not looking for a several thousand dollar pro bow. I just know that using my teachers bow, I didn't have to pressure the bow into the strings, just needed to move it across and it sounded good. And it was easier to hold.

I know, but my point is that even though you can find a better Bow like the ones discussed, they do not match up to the master Bows that cost 10x the price. A workable Bow and a master Bow are two different things but not all expensive Bows are as-workable. I hope you understand my meaning here.
