I was taught the “Weak Standard Grip” …thanks, I guess? XD
How are y’all holding them?
I’m not convinced many of the grips pictured actually work to pick things up with the chopsticks, much less grip something weighty with them
I just tried all of them, and everything but the standard grip leaves my top stick flailing or with a very weak grip. I can’t imagine picking up anything heavy or very small with anything but standard…
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
Oddly, although I can use chopsticks to eat, I can not visualize what my grip is from these pictures. It’s delegated entirely to my hand at this point and I don’t think about it any more.
Nose grip best grip
I don’t think these are actually ways you’re supposed to hold them.
What’s the difference between the weak standard and the standard grips?
It appears to be how far back you hold the chopsticks. The weak standard grip holds them further back, which gives you less leverage at the tip.
The standard grip has the chopsticks held further down, with the back of them crossing when open.
I use Vulcan with the bottom chopstick between the pinky and ring fingers, I feel like it gives me more control and leverage than standard.
This is exactly what I do. I didn’t find anything in the articles that showed that as a specific one.
