How do I improve my penmanship and current pen grip?
-
My current handwriting is near illegible and I believe my current pen grip is wrong. However, when i try to write with another grip, it becomes worse. Bad handwriting has been costing me marks and I plan to change it once and for all
This is my unorthodox pen grip, Is it correct?
Is there any way to improve my penmanship? Contributions will be greatly appreciated. -
Actually, if you change your habit for holding a pen and keep with it, you might force yourself to become better just to get used to holding the pen that way. In my case, I used to hold my pen with it pressing against the side of middle finger, which I think is the way� most people do it, until my mother one day suggested to me to hold it between three fingers so to not get a dent in the side of my middle finger, and my handwriting became better after I got used to it, just because of a different style for holding the pen.

The only way is to practise writing. And start noticing how you write - are you gripping the pen too tight, are you holding it at a comfortable angle, etc. Its hard work but there's nothing else but just to practise writing and writing! I had the same problem too and I remember a teacher told me that my forearm and shoulder should move as I write. Otherwise, itis my fingers doing most of the work which quickly leads to fatigue and illegible handwriting.

Practice hard, and choose a pen which you feel that will give you the best handwriting.
Though the type of pen you use doesn't not affect the quality of the student( nah.. I just don't take that), but.. I still feel that every student deserves a pen that suits their need.
;) popular has a large collection of pens. G2, pilot, etc etc you name it. Go there test a while and post your feedback.
Try not to find a pen which has a very small puny size. :-X it's gonna strain your muscles holding firmly.
Rubber grip sounds like a good choice~ but also depend on the overall size of the pen.
