I think Garnt's method may be due to the differences in the size of chopsticks across regions. Japanese ones are short and thin, making Joey's and cross methods effective. Chinese and SEA ones are usually long and heavy, actually very fitting for Garnt's method. And then there are Korean chopsticks that are short and heavy, easily claiming the highest bar of entry of all.

It's probably just because that's hoe he uses a pencil. There are multiple ways people naturally hold a pencil that can kind of be grouped into 2 "modes". Forget the name of the way Garnt hold it is called but I imagine most people with that grip mode hold their chopsticks in that way.

As a kid I used to hold chopsticks with three digits, thumb and first finger gripping top one, bottom chopstick resting on second finger, as in the thumbnail. By about 15 years old I got fed up with the lack of strength and efficiency this grip was giving me, so I learned from everyone else what the correct grip was and just practiced it until I adopted it. Totally worth persevering.

Here are some useless analysis from my observation: Joey's technique is the one that I use, by securing the bottom with a curled ring finger and moving the top with his middle and index, I think this is the easiest way of using chopsticks but maybe it's just because I developed and use the same technique. The cross technique is something I might have seen but never tried before. Connor's technique seems to be the most common from my experience. He secures the bottom with his ring and move the top with his middle. My parents use this one, though I think it's harder to handle because the ring finger is straighten. Garnt's technique is the most alien shit I've ever seen.

When I was a kid there was an old Japanese restaurant near me where you could sit on the floor to eat and I remember the old Japanese owner would come out and teach me how to use chopsticks every time I visited. In the beggining he would make this tool by rolling up the chopstick wrapper and tying a rubber band around the end, but eventually I learned to use them without the training mod, and I can now confidently use chopstick in the propper way.

I'm Chinese, so obviously as a kid we go eat at Chinese restaurants a lot and as a kid I found using the Chinese style chopsticks were SO HARD. They were thick, long, (get your mind out the gutter) and the tips were blunt and didn't feel precise enough. Not only that but because they were so long they felt heavy in my hand too. Plus if they were plastic? I had to give up on using them because my noodles would just slide off the chopsticks. Honestly if you have to or want to learn how to use chopsticks I found the Japanese style is the easiest to learn. The skinny tips, and shorter length helps give me so much control over my chopsticks. My house is full of Chinese style chopsticks but I literally had to get myself a pack of Japanese style chopsticks at Daiso which was a 45 min drive away. 😭 I miss the days of living in the city where there was a Daiso in every mall.

The way I use chopsticks is what I call the wedge method. I rest the first chopstick on my pinky and ring finger. Then I put my middle finger on top. Then the second chopstick is placed on top of my middle finger. Then my thumb reaches over on one side of the chopstick to push it down. Then my index finger is on the other side of the middle finger to push the chopstick up. So its kinda like in a seesaw motion. Destroys your ring finger too if you don't become skilled at it since in the beginning I put too much pressure on the middle instead of the ends which just compresses your middle finger. I also heard that is a big no no in Japanese culture to do if you use chopsticks

i never corrected myself growing up. I just hold it the "wrong" way. it works. I think my mom also holds it the "wrong" way. that said, me and my siblings were never formally trained as kids. my sister did went out of her way to correct her form.

@@porcorosso4330 mhh interesting come to think of it that’s probably the reason why many people nowadays also hold their tableware (forks, knives etc.) wrongly but I can’t blame them if they were never taught how to hold it the proper way. I must say tho that holding chopsticks the other way doesn’t look nearly as stupid as eating wrong with nice silver cutlery :D

@@GermaniaImmortalis It kind of depends. not holding chopsticks properly can be considered bad manners which in most Asian cultues bring shame to the family... however, since my mom doesn't hold chopsticks properly, it is obvious at least my mom side of the family don't care too much... I am sure there are many families that will make a point to correct their kids. there are also families that go as far as correcting left handedness... that said, I am not entirely sure if all cases of left handedness are nature and not nurture...
