make sure the bow remains square to the bridge.

Face a mirror and watch your bow while you play. Keep correcting yourself and it should become a habit eventually.
Good luck!

if your bowing gets worse when you do this don't worry. my eye hand co ordination is a bit screwed too. I can never get it to work. bow a little bit then look in mirror, correct yourself. bow a bit more, look in mirror, correct yourself. just don't watch all the time. be extra diligent about bowing at the tips because the way you hold your hands at the ends is important to keeping the bow square.
