In Turncoat (above left), the middle finger sits on top of the bottom chopstick. Because of its interjection in between the two sticks, rear ends of chopsticks are forced apart, at the closed posture, similar to how they are in Standard Grip.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In Finger Pistol (above right), the middle finger supports the bottom chopstick from the side. Since it does not come in between the two sticks, the index finger and the ring finger tend to squash the two chopsticks together. This causes their rear ends to be glued together throughout the alternating motion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The degree of separation of rear ends at the closed posture has repercussions on how wide tips of chopsticks can be extended.

We published a writeup of this review in <a href=\"https:\/\/marcosticks.org\/youtube-episode-on-chopsticking-from-worldfriends\/\">YouTube episode on chopsticking from WorldFriends<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All three hostesses wield more than one chopstick grips. Two of three hostesses naturally use Lateral compression. The hostess Kotoha, like this writer himself, believes that she only uses Standard Grip. But the reality is that <a href=\"https:\/\/marcosticks.org\/the-standard-grip\/\">Standard Grip<\/a> and Turncoat share very similar Closed and Compression postures, when the rear ends of chopsticks are not separated far enough. Many practitioners, including Kotoha and this writer himself, subconsciously switch between these two grips, as situations call for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In our studies of chopsticking, we find that carrying or not carrying a payload often alters how a practitioner wields chopsticks. A relaxed open posture is shown below left. A compression posture with noodles pinched between tips of chopsticks is shown below right. At a glance, these two images appear to illustrate the Standard Grip. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/marcosticks.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Pop-culture-WorldFriends2021May-Kotoha-Standard-Grip-Unloaded-and-with-payload-scaled-1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"339\" src=\"https:\/\/marcosticks.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Pop-culture-WorldFriends2021May-Kotoha-Standard-Grip-Unloaded-and-with-payload-scaled-1-1024x339.jpg\" alt=\"Pop culture - WorldFriends2021May - Kotoha - Standard Grip - Unloaded and with payload\" class=\"wp-image-8091\" srcset=\"https:\/\/marcosticks.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Pop-culture-WorldFriends2021May-Kotoha-Standard-Grip-Unloaded-and-with-payload-scaled-1-1024x339.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/marcosticks.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Pop-culture-WorldFriends2021May-Kotoha-Standard-Grip-Unloaded-and-with-payload-scaled-1-300x99.jpg 300w, https:\/\/marcosticks.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Pop-culture-WorldFriends2021May-Kotoha-Standard-Grip-Unloaded-and-with-payload-scaled-1-768x254.jpg 768w, https:\/\/marcosticks.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Pop-culture-WorldFriends2021May-Kotoha-Standard-Grip-Unloaded-and-with-payload-scaled-1-1536x508.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/marcosticks.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Pop-culture-WorldFriends2021May-Kotoha-Standard-Grip-Unloaded-and-with-payload-scaled-1.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><figcaption>Kotoha &#8211; Standard Grip &#8211; unloaded vs with payload<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Following is a sequence of images showing Kotoha picking up noodles.

The main difference between them is, of course, location of the middle finger. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:18.75%\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:66%\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/marcosticks.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Marcosticks-Chopstick-motion-Standard-Grip-Open-posture-IMG_7430-2pt-color-scaled-1-edited-1024x682.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/marcosticks.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Marcosticks-Chopstick-motion-Standard-Grip-Open-posture-IMG_7430-2pt-color-scaled-1-edited-1024x682.png\" alt=\"Chopstick motion - Standard Grip - Open posture - IMG_7430 - 2pt color\" class=\"wp-image-6372\" srcset=\"https:\/\/marcosticks.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Marcosticks-Chopstick-motion-Standard-Grip-Open-posture-IMG_7430-2pt-color-scaled-1-edited-1024x682.png 1024w, https:\/\/marcosticks.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Marcosticks-Chopstick-motion-Standard-Grip-Open-posture-IMG_7430-2pt-color-scaled-1-edited-300x200.png 300w, https:\/\/marcosticks.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Marcosticks-Chopstick-motion-Standard-Grip-Open-posture-IMG_7430-2pt-color-scaled-1-edited-768x511.png 768w, https:\/\/marcosticks.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Marcosticks-Chopstick-motion-Standard-Grip-Open-posture-IMG_7430-2pt-color-scaled-1-edited-1536x1022.png 1536w, https:\/\/marcosticks.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Marcosticks-Chopstick-motion-Standard-Grip-Open-posture-IMG_7430-2pt-color-scaled-1-edited.png 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><figcaption><a href=\"https:\/\/marcosticks.org\/the-standard-grip\/\">Standard Grip<\/a> &#8211; open posture<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:50%\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/marcosticks.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Marcosticks-User-27-turncoat-grip-open-posture-scaled-1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"904\" src=\"https:\/\/marcosticks.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Marcosticks-User-27-turncoat-grip-open-posture-scaled-1-1024x904.jpg\" alt=\"Marcosticks - User 27 - turncoat-grip - open posture\" class=\"wp-image-4255\" srcset=\"https:\/\/marcosticks.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Marcosticks-User-27-turncoat-grip-open-posture-scaled-1-1024x904.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/marcosticks.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Marcosticks-User-27-turncoat-grip-open-posture-scaled-1-300x265.jpg 300w, https:\/\/marcosticks.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Marcosticks-User-27-turncoat-grip-open-posture-scaled-1-768x678.jpg 768w, https:\/\/marcosticks.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Marcosticks-User-27-turncoat-grip-open-posture-scaled-1-1536x1355.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/marcosticks.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Marcosticks-User-27-turncoat-grip-open-posture-scaled-1.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><figcaption>Turncoat grip &#8211; open posture<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:25%\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>However, at the Closed posture, the boundary between these two grips is blurrier.

That is, they transition temporarily to Turncoat whenever needed, and transition out of it when they no longer need it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dahyun from our <a href=\"https:\/\/marcosticks.org\/chopstick-grips-of-twice-members\/\">TWICE article<\/a> provides a good example. Following are pictures of Dahyun momentarily assigning the middle finger the role of supporting the bottom chopstick. Note how her thumb pad does not assist the top chopstick, unlike in true Turncoat grip. Also note that while the pad of the middle finger is resting on the bottom chopstick, most of the time the top chopstick is also resting on the knuckle of the middle finger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/marcosticks.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Marcosticks-Dahyun-Idling-Thumb-turns-into-Turncoat-for-pinching-food-TWICE-YesNoEp2-sect1-00-39-a-b-c-00-45-e-g-chopstick-grip-scaled-1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"231\" src=\"https:\/\/marcosticks.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Marcosticks-Dahyun-Idling-Thumb-turns-into-Turncoat-for-pinching-food-TWICE-YesNoEp2-sect1-00-39-a-b-c-00-45-e-g-chopstick-grip-scaled-1-1024x231.jpg\" alt=\"Marcosticks - Dahyun - Idling Thumb turns into Turncoat for pinching food - TWICE YesNoEp2 - sect1 00-39 a b c 00-45 e g - chopstick grip\" class=\"wp-image-9274\" srcset=\"https:\/\/marcosticks.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Marcosticks-Dahyun-Idling-Thumb-turns-into-Turncoat-for-pinching-food-TWICE-YesNoEp2-sect1-00-39-a-b-c-00-45-e-g-chopstick-grip-scaled-1-1024x231.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/marcosticks.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Marcosticks-Dahyun-Idling-Thumb-turns-into-Turncoat-for-pinching-food-TWICE-YesNoEp2-sect1-00-39-a-b-c-00-45-e-g-chopstick-grip-scaled-1-300x68.jpg 300w, https:\/\/marcosticks.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Marcosticks-Dahyun-Idling-Thumb-turns-into-Turncoat-for-pinching-food-TWICE-YesNoEp2-sect1-00-39-a-b-c-00-45-e-g-chopstick-grip-scaled-1-768x173.jpg 768w, https:\/\/marcosticks.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Marcosticks-Dahyun-Idling-Thumb-turns-into-Turncoat-for-pinching-food-TWICE-YesNoEp2-sect1-00-39-a-b-c-00-45-e-g-chopstick-grip-scaled-1-1536x346.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/marcosticks.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Marcosticks-Dahyun-Idling-Thumb-turns-into-Turncoat-for-pinching-food-TWICE-YesNoEp2-sect1-00-39-a-b-c-00-45-e-g-chopstick-grip-scaled-1.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><figcaption>Dahyun &#8211; Idling Thumb turns into temporary <a href=\"https:\/\/marcosticks.org\/the-turncoat-grip\/\">Turncoat<\/a> for pinching food<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>This pseudo and momentary Turncoat adoption is in fact necessary for many Idling Thumb practitioners, because when pinching relatively small food items, the gap between the two chopsticks is much reduced, where the middle finger meets chopsticks. This is not a problem for Standard Grip practitioners, because they utilize the thumb pad, and thus propping up the top chopstick far enough away from the bottom chopstick. In Idling Thumb, the joint of the thumb, and not the pad, holds the top chopstick in place, thus substantially lowering the top chopstick. This in turn requires that the middle finger be sandwiched between the top chopstick and the bottom chopstick.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/marcosticks.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Marcosticks-Dahyun-Idling-Thumb-turns-into-Turncoat-for-pinching-food-cooking-chopsticks-TWICE-YesNoEp3-Trim-02-14-c-04-05-a-b-chopstick-grip.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"488\" src=\"https:\/\/marcosticks.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Marcosticks-Dahyun-Idling-Thumb-turns-into-Turncoat-for-pinching-food-cooking-chopsticks-TWICE-YesNoEp3-Trim-02-14-c-04-05-a-b-chopstick-grip-1024x488.jpg\" alt=\"Marcosticks - Dahyun - Idling Thumb turns into Turncoat for pinching food - cooking chopsticks - TWICE YesNoEp3 - Trim 02-14 c 04-05 a b - chopstick grip\" class=\"wp-image-9281\" srcset=\"https:\/\/marcosticks.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Marcosticks-Dahyun-Idling-Thumb-turns-into-Turncoat-for-pinching-food-cooking-chopsticks-TWICE-YesNoEp3-Trim-02-14-c-04-05-a-b-chopstick-grip-1024x488.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/marcosticks.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Marcosticks-Dahyun-Idling-Thumb-turns-into-Turncoat-for-pinching-food-cooking-chopsticks-TWICE-YesNoEp3-Trim-02-14-c-04-05-a-b-chopstick-grip-300x143.jpg 300w, https:\/\/marcosticks.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Marcosticks-Dahyun-Idling-Thumb-turns-into-Turncoat-for-pinching-food-cooking-chopsticks-TWICE-YesNoEp3-Trim-02-14-c-04-05-a-b-chopstick-grip-768x366.jpg 768w, https:\/\/marcosticks.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Marcosticks-Dahyun-Idling-Thumb-turns-into-Turncoat-for-pinching-food-cooking-chopsticks-TWICE-YesNoEp3-Trim-02-14-c-04-05-a-b-chopstick-grip-1536x731.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/marcosticks.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Marcosticks-Dahyun-Idling-Thumb-turns-into-Turncoat-for-pinching-food-cooking-chopsticks-TWICE-YesNoEp3-Trim-02-14-c-04-05-a-b-chopstick-grip.jpg 1745w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><figcaption>Dahyun &#8211;
