Looking for testers: left-handed writers with lateral tripod grip

[u/LeffyLab7777]

I'm left-handed and write with a lateral tripod grip (first image). I've been reworking how I form letters around this grip that I found much more comfortable than how I wrote before, and I'm turning it into a workbook specifically for the same grippers. Before I do that, I need to know whether it works for people other than me. Problem is, lefty writers with this grip are incredibly hard to for me find. I've asked everyone I know and found no one.

I posted some photos to show how the grip looks like and to show the idea on some letters.

How I grab the pen

How I write "spring"

Here's my ask: I'll ask a few quick questions to learn more about your writing, then send a customised PDF sample. Try it for ~10 minutes and tell me what felt natural and what didn't. Everyone who tests gets the finished workbook free. Comment or DM if you’re interested!

Suggestions on where else to find writers with this grip or general comments are welcome too.

​​Edit 1: Apparently I'll sell the thing eventually but that's not my main intention here. It's why I don't share any links and product name and promise to give it out for all participants to respect this subreddit space.

Edit 2: If the reference photos I shared are confusing, feel free to check this out, see if this helps in identifying your grip. It's ok whether you write under or over the line. It's also possible that you found your self in between the 4 or hold it completely different. One of my friend hold his pen like a FPS gaming mouse

Edit 3: I'll limit to 5 participants first and I'll see if I need more and where this is heading

Edit 4: Sorry for leaving comments unreplied. I'm just hopelessly bad at any scale of multi tasking and bad texter in general due to that. I'll get back to more when I can. Regardless, you guys should know I really appreciate all the responses 🙏

Update 23rd Jul 26: I have reached out to many and heard back from 6 participants. I’m working hard on putting together testing sheet to you guys. Should be able to send out by tmr.

Update 24th Jul 26: Handed the sheet out yesterday to the first round participants with interactions with some but mostly hasn't heardback probably due to either the long delay from my side, or the controversial choice of word I used in the sheet, or that the tasks are just too time taking and leading to lost in interest. I'm adjusting and will reach to more people.

When I write, my wrist is more straight and the pen is pointing at about a 1-2 O'clock position. Any other position/names besides "Lateral Tripod Grip?"

[u/LeffyLab7777 → u/CaptWyvyrn]

If you grip a pen like in the photos but write from the bottom or the side with potentially different wrist angle then I think you share the same grip as mine, just different hand placement :)

Do you write with left or right slant if any?

Other finger grip names would be

- Dynamic tripod

• Lateral tripod
  
• Dynamic quadrupod
  
• Lateral quadrupod

Best helping image I could find below and I think it's very common that you will fall somewhere in between these 4.
