This is a first article in a new series called “Why Can’t I Chopstick<\/a>“. In the last few years, we have been monitoring discussions on the r\/chopsticks<\/a> subreddit. A few common issues surface from time to time. Some of these are in fact already addressed by our existing articles in the Physics of Chopsticks<\/a> category. But new and unanswered questions have also been asked. The “Why Can’t I Chopstick” series will answer these new questions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One common problem mentioned by learners of Standard Grip<\/a> has to do with tips of chopsticks. Specifically, a practitioner is unable to make tips of the two chopsticks come together. He or she can extend chopsticks apart from each other. But when bringing them together to pinch food, they are unable to make chopstick tips meet. Instead, tips swing past each other by a wide margin, as following videos show.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
