I have a bit of the carpal tunnel problem, so I went searching for the best hook for my hands, and i tried Addi Swing, Tulip Etimo, and Clover Soft Touch, and I have to say, that Addi Swing was the worst hook not just from these, but even worse than regular cheap hooks, because it started hurting my left hand thumb just after a few stitches by weighing heavily on it. I am using pencil hold, maybe if you use knife hold that would be less of the problem. Tulip Etimo was in the middle for mepretty comfortable, but the ridges on the handle are kind of sharp and after a while don't feel good. Clover Soft Touch is a winner for my hands with pencil hold. My review doesn't mean, that you shouldn't try one maybe it will feel different for you.

Bought one of these for a friend who is having serious hand problems but has been an avid crocheter most of her life. As I also crochet, I tried it before I gave it to her and found for me it was too long and the shape was wrong for the way I "pencil hold" crochet. My friend being a "knife hold" crocheter could use it but found it way too long for her comfort also. So if you want to try them, just buy one, not the set, until you know if they work for you. The over all quality of the hook was excellent.

I have several of the Addi Swings at home. C, H, J, and L, and to be honest, I wish they made them larger M, N, or even a P.

I don't even think about what type of grip I have, so I cannot advise someone with a knife grip vs a spoon grip on whether this would be the hook for them.

I do an assortment of projects ranging from motif work, to sweaters, and sculptural work and have never encountered a problem with these hooks.

IMHO, I found the weight to be non-problematic. As with another reviewer, I also have carpal tunnel in my dominant/hooking hand, and haven't had any additional spasms while using this hook.

I will say that for projects involving stitches with a lot of yarn overs, i.e. trebles, double trebles, bullions and some textural or puff type stitches, the shaft to the hook is not long enough to accommodate many yarn overs.

I like the feel of the hook and the ease of use, and have several of these hooks at home, and would no doubt buy additional hooks in the event that Skacel decides to manufacture them in larger gauges.

I absolutely LOVE these hooks!! They did take a bit of using to figure out the best way to hold it. I have been using them for the past month and have no pain in my hands or wrists anymore and I can crochet for a very long time with these!! LOVE!!!

I do a TON of crocheting and lately my hands have been killing me. So I decided to give this hook a try. Not only is the hook itself so smooth and allows for faster crocheting, my hands are pain free. I only bought one so far and plan on buying the entire set! Definitely recommend for those who have cramping/pain issues with their hands while hooking.
