Pen grip refers to the way you hold a pen or pencil while writing or drawing, significantly impacting comfort, control, and legibility.
There are various types of pen grips, each with its own characteristics and advantages. The most common include:
-
Tripod Grip: This is often considered the standard and most efficient grip. The pen rests between the thumb and index finger, supported by the middle finger.
-
Quadrupod Grip: An alternative grip where the pen is held between the thumb, index, and middle fingers.
The ideal pen grip allows for fluid movement and minimizes strain, leading to better handwriting and reduced fatigue. Factors like hand size, pen type, and personal preference influence the most suitable grip.
