Well......it is definitely easier with a really good bow, but I myself do not have the luxury of that
A lot of times sotie (sorry bad at spelling hah) depends on if your bow is straight, the placement of the bow, and how high up you play. Usually it's easier if you are near the middle/frog end....with your bow hold, make sure that the hair is flat, and sort of think that instead of going side to side, think up and down. I hope some of this helped you (if you even understood it lol)!!
Good luck
