I was taught the âWeak Standard Gripâ âŠthanks, I guess? XD
How are yâall holding them?
Iâm not convinced many of the grips pictured actually work to pick things up with the chopsticks, much less grip something weighty with them
I have a friend who uses the âbeetle mandibleâ I can confirm that they struggle to pick up anything slightly heavier or less than optimally shaped or slippery.
A friend I once had used either the dangling claw or the muppet style. It was a big deal amongst our group of friends because it was so unusual to the rest of us. I distinctly remember her hand in a claw like position to hold the sticks, and we were all trying to imitate her style. She picked up her sushi just fine. Canât vouch for the others.
Right hand rule ftw. There was a buffet in my home town called Pi King. They had instructions on the sleeve. Took me a few tries but managed to pick it up as a kid
Looks like it would give better dexterity than the standard grip. Iâll give it a try. I suck at chopsticks.
Right hand rule I find the most comfortable, but standard grip allows you to manipulate both chopsticks, as opposed to the one being locked stationary and all the pressure coming from the other one. You know how sometimes the two sticks âtwistâ around the food? You can prevent that standard grip more easily.
Nose grip best grip
Oddly, although I can use chopsticks to eat, I can not visualize what my grip is from these pictures. Itâs delegated entirely to my hand at this point and I donât think about it any more.
I donât think these are actually ways youâre supposed to hold them.
Yeah, pretty sure everything apart from the standard grip are dysfunctions
