Double Bass Transition from German Bow to French Bow

hey guys

it has been since Novemeber of 2010 that my present teacher has switched me over from the German Bow to the French.

And I have been working on it, especially with Freddrick Zimmerman Bass Solo Book, and Simandl. I recently found the bass transciption for the Otak Sevik School of Bowing Technique Op.2 for Cello.

Will the study help me become a stronger French Bow Bassist, and has anyone on this forum done this transition as well.
