And here, for your viewing pleasure, is the nobody-approved Caveman Grip™. Apparently, I hadn't paid close attention to writing lessons in grade school, and this horrible thing haunted me for the next sixty some years, muscle-memory ossified into bone. Caveman Grip™ was aptly named because my writing looked as if it were done with a lump of coal in my white-knuckled fist.
When I began learning Spencerian from the old texts a few years ago, I did adopt the approved tripod pen hold, and decided also to no longer use finger and wrist movement in order to avoid the long baked-in habits.
