my new crochet hooks arrived!

I have been waiting weeks for these, yes ok I irdered them from China so it's an average waiting time but they have silicone handles and I'm so happy!! The hooks I have been using up until now and straight and made from metal and the fingers get sore after working with one for so long. Also the pencil grip is simply impossible to do on the aluminum ones (a pic of them below from google because I'm too lazy to go take a pic of mine) and then there's a pic of my new hooks that just got here. I just tested one and the grip is amazing. I highly recommend silicone handles! the new ones range from 1.0mm to 6.0mm

I have a set similar to these with the silicone handle and I love them. Much more comfortable.

I had to google it to find out, but I use a pencil grip or "underhand" grip (the other one is knife grip or "overhand" grip). I've never had a problem with the crochet hook slipping, but no idea why.
