Two have switched since trying mine, because they actually (shock!) found it a pleasant experience that worked with their ordinary grip. Most have an okay angle, though they do tend to press rather harder than necessary when offered a FP to try. I am in grad school, and as part of my tuition remission, I help teach undergrads (i.e., people even further under that magical "30-35" window you posit). I have met folks who hold writing instruments differently (but still no "flag pole" holds) based on the diameter and, for some, the length of the writing instrument. Having discussed pen/pencil hold with my students and others in the past, I can say that comfort is a factor as well as hand size and writing instrument diameter. In fact, based on responses here, the "flag pole" hold is not the pen-hold of the majority for any age group - of course, that too is an observation and still not the majority. I agee with Guimauvaise's statements regarding hand size being a factor and that one's observations cannot be generalized to the majority. While it is fine for you to disagree, you should be open to and welcome the views and opinions of others as this is how we all learn and grow as individuals as well as share information. There is no call for that as we are all supposed to be friends here. I agree with Jimmy Joe that your use of "open your eyes" is dismissive and hostile. In addition, I do not hold my pencils, ballpoint pens, or rollerball pens any differently than I hold my fountain pens. I alway SEE my students and I can always see how they hold their pens/pencils.
With all due respect, my eyes are always open except when I go to sleep at the end of my day.
