Have you seen the palm rejection configuration screen for One Note? It asks "how do you hold your pen?" And covers more variation in grip specifically with regard to the angle of your hand in relation to what you are writing. Another interesting facet of pen grip variation.
I too got weird blisters as a kid, however as an adult and and in the the recent years have developed a love for fountain pens that have helped my writing improve tremendously. I dont need to press hard and certainly hold the pen better.
Notice that the pen in the "correct" cases the pen rests on the finger. The normal force from the contact helps to maintain this point as a fulcrum to cause the pen to move by apply force with the thumb
I am really impressed by this post. Honestly, I have the same grip as yours and it hurts a lot sometimes. I will try my best to imply these tips while writing! Thanks a lot.

Funny part is I asked the same question here recently --> [https://www.reddit.com/r/Handwriting/comments/f0s72j/pen_grasp_help/?ref=share&ref_source=link]
I defaulted back to bending my fingers because of losing my stability in my hold. I think I have the Dynamic Quadrupod grip.
I really really like this post

I am curious did you have penmanship classes in elementary or middle school? I did in the 70s but my son didn't in the 90s.
No, I didn't. As someone who grew up in the 2000's, penmanship was not strongly emphasized, at least at my elementary school.
Love this post.

Incredible insight, thank you much, I've never thought about my pen grip this way.
