1) Ever get a scratchy attack ,or no attack at all, at the beginning of a note? Try using planes! That is playing more to the side of the string rather than directly on top! For down bow play towards your left side and for up bow towards your right side of the string. You'll get a cleaner attack and a better overall sound.
2) Trouble playing all the notes in fast passages? Play with the fingers closer to the string. Bare lift the fingers that are not in use. When you do use them they will be closer to the string and thus will arrive faster. Never ever lift the first finger except to change strings or play an open string.
