How to hold your PEN properly for better handwriting

Thank you so much dude. I finally found out why my teacher constantly throws my book at me.

I'm 18 and nobody was able to teach me how to hold a pen growing up, now I am teaching myself thanks to this man, thank you.

My problem's that my handwriting is actually really really good, but my pen holding technique is bad. My hand cramps up,, I can't write for long because my technique puts extra pressure on my palm.

I always saw everyone holding pen differently than me, and I was even told the way I hold it is wrong. Thank you for clearing any misconceptions!

This is the only video I've seen of anyone writing the way I normally do. Everybody always thought it was strange but I find it to be easier because the pressure is evenly balanced on the pencil. Nice to know someone likes this way too 😛

me: watches video this seems easy me 5 secs later: internally cries because it's not working

Appreciate this. I have a lot of trouble with cramping and now I have confirmed that it is because I hold the pen too tightly. But this shows why the pen itself makes a big deal about your writing, too. After all, you can't write well while holding the pen loosely unless the ink flows out really well. If a pen requires pressure to work, you are going to be obliged to hold the pen wrong. This is probably why people like fountain pens so much.

I am 15 years onwards trying for good handwriting. To see the video I handwriting was super

I know many use your way of holding the pen, and it is a very good way. But you should not write by forming letters with your fingers or hand. Your fingers and hand should remain firm, and you should form the letters by using the large muscles in your forearm, and even in your upper arm. This allows far more consistent control, prevents cramping and fatigue, and allows you to write for hours at a stretch. I know this takes some training and practice because very few are taught how to properly write in today's world, but it really is worth learning.

So I’m 16 and left handed. Starting this year (2021) I am learning to write with my right hand, to hopefully become ambidextrous one day. I’m basically starting from the ground up. Wish me luck, I feel like a pre k student lol. 😅

awesome handwriting.. my teacher always insult me because of my bad handwriting.. I really hate that moment.. plz help me dear plz plz plz

Since childhood,I didn't know how to hold pen that's why I was not able to finish paper within time .I tried a lot to write fast but my fingers started paining and my speed of writing fall down.this video gives me a idea of holding pen in a right way. By using this technique my fingers don't get pain while writing result of it I will be able to finish my paper within time. Thanks a lot sir.

0:52 I write like this, it’s the most comfortable position for me

Thank you man my teacher can finally stop ripping out my pages on my notebook

Thanks for this lesson! I had really nice handwriting a while ago, then it was like I have forgotten how to properly hold the pen or pencil. Since then I've struggled to find a comfortable and firm grip. My thumb, in especial, seems to be harsh and constantly pulls the pen from the other fingers. I just don't know how to relax the thumb and at the same time improve my grip for a firm and precise handwriting.

I hold spoons just like this, much more comfortable than the "usual way". I'll try this on pens.Thank you!

I have 2 books full of essays, Most of them have bad handwriting, I'm a good essay writer but bad at handwriting....But then. I started to realize how much I need this tip.....I never had such a good writing before! My teacher really got mad at me all of a sudden...She was about to make me join the essay writing competition....But the judges rejected my handwriting....Then I knew this tip! Thank you sir!!!!

I am actually impressed by how he share his knowledge and how considerate of him to ensure everyone can understand him when he talks. Some people don’t even care if they’re able to send across the message - they just talk knowing that it’s an international audience. Keep up the good work sir! I have learned a lot!

How anybody can don't like his way of speaking!😦😧 I love the way he talks😊😊😆

I was suffering from tendonitis when I tried to hold pens in this way some months ago, since then I have been much more comfortable and got much more stamina and concentration in working. Now I can just do more and better work and of cause, earn more money. Maybe you just made a video that not everybody likes, but you could have improved a man's career greatly, really appreciate.
