The Count-to-4 grip is a variation of Standard Grip<\/a>, where the tip segment of the thumb bends inward, instead of extending flat. This is a drastic departure from the Caswellian thumb<\/a> required by the Standard Grip. A flat thumb in Standard Grip allows users of chopstick grips to push firmly down on both chopsticks, thus securing them in place throughout the alternating motion<\/a>. A bent thumb in Count-to-4, on the other hand, forces a user to find a different way of holding the bottom chopstick, and of twirling the top chopstick.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This grip can be a useful alternative grip<\/a>, for people who cannot wield the Caswellian thumb pose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
