chop sticks are more effective then a fork if you are an expert.

Tell that to James Bond in his thread, I think it would be a bit more relevant.

Eating with some Thai friends: "American's use chop sticks better than Thai people."

I find good chop stick use pivotal when eating sushi.

TT:

[censored] it, bro, just use a fork. It's a more efficient food delivery method.

Chop sticks are an antiquated and quaint way to eat stuff, but you're a hip and happening dude, come join the rest of the 19th century...

TT,

[censored] those diagrams. They are impossible to learn from. Just pick up the chop sticks and practice for a week, eventually you will pick it up on your own.

A lot of replies, so I may be late to the game.

Simplest technique. On stick remains rigid, the other moves.

Hold one stick deep at the base of your thumb, held in place there firmly with a combination of the tips of your middle and ring fingers. This stick never moves.

Hold the other stick between the tip of your thumb and the tip of your index finger. This stick moves.

Picking up different types of food (big pieces of meat or veggies vs. piles of rice) is a matter of altering the attitude and angle of the moving stick.

The rest is learned coordination.

TT,

I'll be in the city tomorrow if you need some in-person lessons, its really not that hard at all. I think you can work around the hand strength issues, which may be why the diagrams arent helping.
