tl;dr works well, comfortable, perfect.
I’ve struggled my entire life writing with pens and pencils. Even with proper posture and hand grip, my forearm begins to burn immediately. In-class writing assignments were a nightmare.
I really wanted to use Apple Pencil, but it was a struggle. I tried multiple grips on the market and gave up. The Pencil was docked on my iPad for a year. Why did I even buy it?
Frustrated, I looked for user suggestions and several raved about The Pro-Draw Grip for Apple Pencil. I was unsure after reading reviews, but was desperate for a solution.
Let me tell you, I feel NO PAIN in my hand, wrist, forearm, and shoulder when I use the Pencil with this Grip. No burning, no tingling from Carpal Tunnel. Nothing. Just really comfortably positioned pencil, comfortable to grip, and putting it on and off is quick and easy.
Yes, this is a thick grip. Small-sized gloves are usually too long for me, yet this grip is the perfect size. In the first photo, you can see how I use it “backwards” (with the thicker side toward the front of the pencil). I line up the opening so it is even with the flat side of the pencil.
The second photo shows the other side of the pencil with grip. The third photo is zoomed in to show the “dimple” that is on each side of the grip. This is where I place my thumb.
The quality of the material is great and the appearance is sleek. I’m not sure how many years the grip’s material can withstand being put on and removed from the pencil.
The only con would be storage of the grip when not in use. I recommend this grip.
