Chopsticks are definitely easier. The one trick with these chopsticks I found is to make sure you have the setting right for left of right hand. If it's set correctly, they seem to just naturally fit in your hands. Since you're obviously a devil-may-care type, you might also take them to a Chinese restaurant. I'm sure they'd get a kick out of helping you. Just don't go at rush hour. Jason,

I'm flying solo here, and I actually got the chopsticks for myself. I don't have a child yet, my wife is still in China, and I would really like to learn how to use them. Innumerable adults have tried to teach me and all have failed. Thus, I resort to the maxim of "If a 5-year old can do it, so can I." But, if that's going to work, you actually have to do it like a 5-year old does. The problem is that there are no instructions on how to hold the Combi trainers! All they tell you is to use the bridge and the yellow hinge, but there isn't a single picture demonstrating it! I've found at least three different ways to hold the sticks, but I have no idea what is right. I would appreciate any further information anybody might have!
