Swanneck Pen Benefits

Writing left-handed: what are the problems?

Fact: left-handers suffer more using standard pens designed for right handers than they do using any other right-handed tool. 


That’s because there are two main challenges that make left-handed writing especially difficult: 


Challenge One

A left hand immediately obscures the letters and words just written – making it hard for the writer to keep track, especially when it’s a child learning to write. 


Challenge Two

A left-handed writer can easily smudge ballpoint, roller ball, felt tip and other inks – making a mess of school work, letters and other important documents. 

"Recent Left-hand Club research among 1000 left-hand writers shows that 99% of those surveyed have experienced difficulty with their writing".

The Challenges Illustrated
Photos Illustrate The Main Left-Handed Writing Traits:

Over writer Swanneck
 ‘The Overwriter Style’ – writes following a steep rising line from ‘left to right’, sometimes at a full 90 degrees to the body.
The Fist Swanneck
‘The Fist Style’ – clutches pen in whole fist, obscuring most of the letters what  are  being written.
Under Writer 45 swanneck
under writer 90° swanneck

‘The Underwriter Style’ – tilts the paper to the left, adopting a downward sloping writing line. Letters

 and words then tend to lean annoyingly forward.

The Hooker Swanneck
‘The Hooker Style’ – tries hard to see what he or she is writing by tilting the paper to the left. If not dealt with early, the hooking problem can make a left hander’s writing both slow and hard to read.

The Impact

  • A slow start for left-handed children.
  • Many children learning to write left-handed find themselves embarrassed and discouraged – just at a time when they need all the confidence they can get.
  • Uncomfortable, awkward writing posture.
  • Left-handed writers often find themselves forced to tilt the paper at all kinds of awkward angles – contributing to illegible sloping styles, calluses and even muscular pain.
  • Reversed letters.
  • A common issue for young left handed children – who frequently confuse lowercase ‘d’s’ and ‘b’s’, as well as their ‘p’s’ and ‘q’s’.

The Swanneck Pen The Logical Writing Solution.

It’s great for right-handers too!

Swanneck Pens are also ideal for right handers needing to write ‘right to left’ – for example in Arabic or Asian languages. Our simple but intelligent design solves ‘cover up’, speed, smudging and posture problems for ‘right to left’ writers just as effectively.
