Improve Your Grip, Improve Your Writing

One of the main benefits of using a pencil grip is that it helps improve your grip. You know that feeling when you're trying to write something down and your hand starts cramping up? Yeah, not fun. But with a pencil grip, you can say goodbye to hand cramps and hello to smooth, effortless writing.

Not only do pencil grips make writing more comfortable, but they also help you maintain better control over your pen or pencil. It's like having a little helper guiding your hand as you create beautiful strokes on the page. Plus, with a better grip, you'll have more control over the pressure you apply, resulting in neater, more legible handwriting.

Choose Your Grip, Find Your Style

Now, let's talk about the fun part: choosing your pencil grip. It's like picking out a new pair of shoes, but for your writing instrument. Keep scrolling to explore the different types of grips!

Our pencil grips are designed by doctors, tested by kids, approved by parents. Our ergonomic pencil grips improve handwriting, help give more control, and reduce hand fatigue. These colorful pencil grippers benefit both Adults and Children, Righties and Lefties. The Pencil Grip is the #1 grip recommended by therapists to help children write.

While using the original pencil grip, writing becomes easy and natural. Its unique, patented design gently encourages the fingers and hand to rest in the proper position for gripping – The Tripod Grip.

The open cups of the grip guide without restriction. The elongated center ridge functions as a barrier so the fingers do not crossover to the other side of the grip.
