How to find perfect style that we like , seeing different samples making hard for beginners to choose and practice one style

I'm extremely right-handed, but I think we're solving similar problems: a grip that causes cramp and smearing. The right-handed grip I use (pen resting on the fourth/ring finger, gripping with the thumb, middle and index, with the middle finger doing most of the work) forces me to write with the paper just shy of 90% to the left, so I'm writing from the bottom up - essentially the mirror of your left-handed approach, which feels surprisingly natural in spite of my wobbliness xP If any lefties use a similar grip to mine, I'd be curious to know how that affects handwriting and cramp.

Thank you for this video! We are trying it right now. My teen son is left handed and we are homeschooling now and working on both handwriting and cursive. This video as very helpful! Thank you!!

Bro I have been suffering from poor handwriting and when I start writing in exam my handwriting becomes even wrost. Would you like to help me

I’m left handed and recently suffered a stroke in the left portion of my brain stem. I can print the same as before, but I’ve lost my ability to write in cursive. Interestingly the stroke affected the right side of my body

Thank you for sharing this! Btw I can't help notice the birds singing outside was so soothing.

Hey

Interesting. I am left handed but throw and do a number of “power” moves with my right. Anyway, writing vertically away from me felt quite natural and immediately I felt a difference in the flow quality. However, when I went toward me or “down” the page it felt…unnerving and grating. Which in itself is rather interesting!

I might try for a month or something and say if I think I write better with my regular handwriting or with this (Lefty)

0:39 bro writes better than me with his left hand (I'm a natural lefty 😭😭😭)

Sorry for asking this but how is your shoulder ? with all of that extra movements ? Because that handwriting could be done with much ease if you used your fingers and wrist too.

Quoting a convicted fraudster lol

Write my name? It's Pedro

Hi there! Could you elaborate on that if it is possible to write with whole arm movement on smaller paper that is higher than the table you’re writing on? Such as a small journal.

wow this is great! Feels like litterally praticing with someone together so the process becomes much more fun and less lonely. Thank you so much

Im a lefty (16 years old) and i changed my pencil grip a lot until i found one that feels comfortable for me (dynamic tripod), and allows me to write for longer periods of time and i write with my paper angled 45° with the bottom right corner facing my belly button. This allows me to naturally write with my wrist slightly below the writting line so i dont have to deal with ink smear while writing cursive

what do you think of handstyles

Wow! I'm righty who learned how to write with left hand and I write 16 years with my write hand and 15 years with my left one. So I learned to write with my left hand in similar way as you because I wanted to make handwriting the same for both hands. Both handwritings are slanted to the right now! So surprised to watch your video because of that! Thank you

Hi. Can this method of writing be implemented while writing on a chalkboard with a chalk?

Am Urdu and English reverse handwriter

Thank you very much for sharing...

"The satisfying sound of these drills." **Aggressive printer sounds**

Are those two degrees from CSUSB I see on the wall? That's my BA alma mater, class of '95. I'm left-handed, and my penmanship has always been poor. I print, barely legibly, and as little as possible (I type much faster than I write). But I've gotten interested in fountain pens, which means that my current techniques would leave the page a smeared mess, and the edge of my hand with almost as much ink as the page. So off to try to learn to write better--at least legibly, and if it looks nicer, so much the better.

I used to write in my left hand when I was young, but my parents switch me to right. So, when I "first" tried to write again in left hand it wasn't that bad but I've been learning cursive and I'm having a hard time with left hand. I just tried the practices and it surprisingly works for me. I hope I master this.

I actually hold my pen a similar way right handers do, it probably a bit higher than a rightie would ( i hold a similar way you do when writing from bottom but i go left to right instead of top down) but rightong mirror feels terrifying to me. I naturally have a slant and the smudge doesn't bother me on graphite and my ink dries fast enough and i'm remote enough from the page that ink isn't an issue My lettering is pretty but highly uneven

Writing with whole arm instead of fingers! That is really an amazing skill. How long does it take to train to do that, to be able to write fluidly with whole arm?

I have very big hands and I'm an sidewriter, slightly overwriter when the paper is tilted. Almost all fountain pen ink on absorbing paper will be dry before I touch it. That's partly because there's some 5-6 cm between my hand and the tip. I'm also right and left handed in most things, like cooking, racket sports and other things. However, writing I never attempt righthanded.

I've just scrolled across your video,I am left handed,so is my wife, youngest daughter and granddaughter,NONE OF US write over hand with the paper angled to the right,We all have the paper at 90° to the left and write underhand

That's an ability i would like to learn. I love to learn things that are not to common or u dont see every day. Keep up the good work.

Nice helpful video

Dude!!! or we can práctice with the page pointing downward and writing the letters hanging from the lines..... it would like writing in the Left Handed Writing position (From right to left. [in the mirror looks ''normal'']), but when you point the page upwards it will look like regular Right Handed Writing. No Smudges.

Do you remember how time did it take also is 2 months enough or not?

What is the harlem globetrotters name? I could not hear the name clearly on the video but i woild like to look him up!

This is ridiculous. I'm left handed as most people in the comments are. I've never seen anyone left or right handed turn their papers and write sideways AND hold the pen in the middle. You also take up the whole width only writing three words. Nothing what your doing is natural for a left hander.

Really?!? That’s amazing news!

I remember in calligraphy class, we used an upright easil which couldn’t be angled. I am a lefty, and they tried to teach me to write without touching the paper with my hand. Never did work. No left handed nibs either

I am a lefty. The problem is seeing the tip of your pencil. I turn my paper 90 degrees, just as you do. However, i write uphill without my wrist curled, yet holding my hand above what i am writing to keep from smearing. I distinctly remember teachers making me sit up straight with my paper upright. I would eventually bend my body like a pretzel to be able to see my pencil tip. I am 73, so times have changed for the good.

Great vid, thank you ❤

Its enough to see how Mr moves to decide the rate of his success in beating pro tennis player

My best friend and I learned to do this in 8th grade (1962) so we could pass secret notes. LOL I can still wow folks with it! hahaha

I'm left handed and this seems way too challenging aha

Amazing! Can you send the document?! Please?🙏🏻

I was getting worried in my practice but everything ive had issues with you mentioned. not flat paper (Notebooks have been a struggle around the center), shakey handwriting when warming up and when going slow

Hi there, I've watched a few videos of yours in my penmanship journey, I find them all very helpful and pleasant to watch. You now have 7.5k subs, how about that! I hope many more people will find your channel, and please keep up the great work! ❤

3 (plus me) out my 8 siblings are all lefties! My parents are not. No one ever said anything to us about it. I didn't find out until later that anyone gave it a thought. I do wish i had your help to write more beautifully then!

So i tried drawing those circles holding my pen like that, turning the paper like that. It's very interesting! I notice where i hold the tension, or when the tension increases as i move down the page.

Hii, I'm very new to writing and stuff, I'm just learning cursive today and i decided to learn the correct way to hold the pen, posture, etc.. I'm wondering, if i continue to do these exercises would i be able to do finer details without moving my wrist and moving my forearm instead? For example, curves, small circles, etc. or is it okay to move the wrist? 😅

I switched to uniball gel pens to solve my smudging problem. However I still want to try some of your techniques anyway

What I've noticed is, that letting one hand "teach" other is much easier when writing with both hands (left is mirrored obviously) simultaneously.

I recently started left hand journaling, both normal way (90 degrees) and mirrored. Just in two months I had more insights about myself, my soft sensitive side especially, than in many months, if not years before. Itya game changer. But some doofuses online say, that this would lead to schizophrenia. I guess I'll find out in some time.
