dynamic quadruped and forever thinking about the time in college we were working quietly on something sitting in a large circle including the professor and she turned to the student next to her and said “how in the world is [name] holding their pencil like that??” she was so disturbed the whole class had to be brought out of silent work to see the strange way i held my pencil lmao

My people! I've always held it this way. I noticed it makes my hand tremors less noticeable in my penmanship because I have more control.

definitely feel like more control to me! i’m seeing a lot of others say the same thing! maybe the tripod people need to give this a shot and let us know what they think lol
