Position of wrist in r/h bowing

[Andy Mopley]

Should the wrist be slightly pronated or almost parallel to the strings when bowing, using Fench bow? Any pictures, links would be appreciated

Thanks for reading!

Bradetich's Double Bass:The Ultimate Challenge could answer your question with pictures (a very informative read).

He recommends a flat wrist, or slightly downward attitude for the hand (downward being the wrist is up and the knuckles slightly lowered back towards the body of the player).

I think you can see it in his playing here...

I see what he does, and what you mean, thanks a lot!

No problem. There are so many great videos. I really look to Bradetich and to Rinat Ibragimov videos when I need to address a visual reference question or just need to be inspired.
