Yeah that's what I do too, I was just trying the one in that video and I was so slow
Do your hands get sore?

Yeah they do and sometimes I get a little bump on one of my fingers

Yeah same :/ but if it works it works I guess so no point changing

I just re-wrote the 1984 thesis. Looks something like this:

Ah, new dialect of English. Still not like @B1andB2 level of neatness but we getting close to the official alphabet here.

Traditionally unfortunately it’s a bad grip but I’m used to it

what is tradionally?

The tight three finger grip ig

Apparently writing with your arm instead of your fingers/wrist is better.

use a gel pen bro it definitely works so much better (coming from someone with sht handwriting lol) and go to office works or something and buy one with a bit of weight to it cus it forces you to write out letters properly
btw after looking at ur handwriting u tend to kind of wing it w the end of every word so focus on fixing that- other than that to me at least your handwriting is pretty readable (and english teachers are used to bad writing lmfao)

When I use gel pens and other pens that are smooth, I legit cannot control how my wriitng comes out because the pen is so smooth. I don't know why I write better with a 0.7 Muji pen even though everyone calls them trash. Do you have any Gel pen recommendations where smoothness does not lower your legibility

Jetstream by uniball is a hybrid gel and traditional ink pen. It is smooth but does not have the runny wet effect of a normal gel pen.

man the clicky ones are like $5 each and have the exact same ink as the $1 ones

The clicky ones are also a lot biggee

5x as much ink? I don't think so. If you feel that the barrel of the pen is too small, you can always stick a pencil grip on top

Nah nah I meant the clicky ones were a lot thicker so it's a bad thing

The non click ones self unscrew every 5-10 minutes of intense writing which to be honest is extremely annoying and justifies the use of the retractable pens even given the increased price. It can easily break up your thought process, not good especially in English

Unscrews?

 

[Velocifire]

Unscrews?

The bottom bit comes undone

ah yeah it can be done with the top too

 

[Xanthi]

Unscrews?

Yes, as in the tip that screws on holding the ink cartridge in place

Yeah this is a problem with most pens especially if you grip it low.

Note that the uni jetstream clicky pens have an unscrewable bottom bit so they’re susceptible to the same unscrewing risk. However in my use of the stick pens they’ve never noticeably unscrewed in the middle of writing.

I feel it would be more readable in black ink.

Have you tried different pens?
