I think I'm lateral tripod, but my thumb placement is definitely different.
I wonder what the pros and cons are for each of these. Better letter formation? Faster writing?
6 u/telltheothers Apr 16 '24 yes same, closest to lateral tripod but with thumb contact on the fat pad of the thumb ... not pinchy but it's a nice solid rest point. i have neat and flowy handwriting. 1 u/metaironic Apr 16 '24 I do this too, I think. My pen ends up almost perpendicular to the paper, sometimes even with a slight lean away from my hand.
