RING-FINGER TASK DETAIL

The Ring-Finger helps to propel bow-stroke motions.

Propelling something is to initiate motion or to continue motion onward.

The Ring-Finger propels the bow by assisting the motions directed by the index-finger’s bow-hand leadership.

 
The Ring-Finger helps to push up-bows and increases the guidance of bow-strokes in all directions. Bow motion intensity is varied by the Propulsion Power of Ring-Finger.
 
THE RING-FINGER CONTINUES BOW STROKE MOTIONS.
 
The Ring-Finger acts as an additional bow-hand hinge and increases flexibility in the Bow-Hand Fulcrum.
 
When controlling bow motions near the tip of the bow, the ring-finger serves to transfer bow-arm weight into continuous and flowing motions. Your Ring-Finger helps you to control the emphasis and clarity of bowing motions.
