The Right Pen Grip for You

Finding the right pen grip is crucial to having a comfortable and enjoyable writing experience. Today, we compare two of Baronfig's Squire rollerball pen choices: the full round pen, known as the standard "Squire," and its hexagonal counterpart, the "Hex Squire."

While both pens have unique advantages, we'll explore how their design influences grip, comfort, and functionality...

The Squire

The Squire features a sleek, full-round body and is a classic choice for many writers. Its smooth, uninterrupted surface allows for a versatile grip, accommodating various hand sizes and writing styles. This design's simplicity often appeals to minimalists and those who appreciate a timeless aesthetic.

Advantages of the Squire Pen Grip:

  • Versatile Grip: The round shape caters to different gripping styles, making it adaptable for various hand sizes.
  • Minimalist Design: The smooth, uninterrupted surface offers a clean, classic look.
  • Ease of Movement: The round body facilitates smooth transitions across the page; ideal for fast note-taking and fluid handwriting.

However, some users find the round design is prone to rolling away and hand-slipping (especially during extended writing sessions). This can lead to hand fatigue and a less controlled writing experience.

The Hex Squire

Enter the Hex Squire, a pen designed to address some of the limitations of its round counterpart. The hexagonal shape introduces flat edges that provide a more stable and controlled grip. This design prevents the pen from rolling off the table and enhances overall writing precision.

Advantages of the Hex Squire Pen Grip:

  • Enhanced Stability: The flat edges of the hexagonal design prevent the pen from slipping, offering a more secure grip.
  • Controlled Writing: The hex shape promotes a more consistent grip, reducing hand fatigue and improving writing accuracy over long periods.
  • No More Rolling: One of the standout features is its resistance to rolling, ensuring your pen stays exactly where you place it.

The Hex Squire's design subtly encourages proper pen-holding techniques, which can significantly improve comfort during extended writing sessions. This ergonomic advantage makes it an excellent choice for those who write extensively or require a reliable pen.

Which One is Right for You?

Choosing between the Squire and the Hex Squire ultimately depends on your preferences and writing habits. If you value a versatile grip and a minimalist design, the Squire offers a timeless solution. However, if you prioritize stability, control, and a pen that stays put, the Hex Squire might be the better choice.

While both pens have their merits, the Hex Squire stands out for its ergonomic benefits and enhanced stability, making it a compelling option for writers seeking functionality and comfort. Which pen grip do you prefer for your writing journey: the classic smoothness of the Squire or the stability and precision of the Hex Squire?
