## Description

Pilot Dr. Grip Center of Gravity Retractable Ball Point Pen (36180)The Dr. Grip family has a writing instrument perfect for everyone.View largerThe Invention of Dr. Grip Writing InstrumentsBased on a common need for a more comfortable writing instrument, Pilot set out to give people the writing solution they were looking for.

By 1996, the entire Dr. Grip line earned the Ease-of-Use Commendation by the Arthritis Foundation. More recently in 2012, a three-month study conducted by the Georgia Tech Research Institute found Dr. Grip Center of Gravity (COG) surpassed key competitors in overall comfort ratings for users both with and without arthritis. In the study, Dr. Grip COG was proven to be almost 2X more comfortable than key competitor brands*.Dr. Grip is Offered in an Array of Point Types and Barrel ColorsDr. Grip's classic line has been enhanced over the years with the introduction of a wide variety of barrel colors and styles. The collection includes both fashion-forward and professional styles for a variety of writing needs and occasions. Dr. Grip is available in barrel colors that range from fun neon colors, to sophisticated metallic hues, to professional blue, black, and silver. In addition, Dr. Grip is offered in a variety of point types including Medium 1.0 mm ball point ink, Fine 0.7 mm gel ink, and #2 HB mechanical pencil lead. Every Dr. Grip pen and mechanical pencil is retractable and refillable for continued use and lasting value.Introducing the Dr. Grip 4+1 Multi-function Writing InstrumentThe newest addition to the Dr. Grip Collection is a writing instrument that serves as both pen and pencil. In fact, the Dr. Grip 4+1 is 5 different writing options in one! Designed for getting complex jobs done with incredible precision, the Dr. Grip 4+1 has retractable Black, Blue, Red and Green advanced ink, as well as Mechanical Pencil lead.

Review: New favorite pen - This pen is very nice! Writes well and is super comfortable. Though I get ink on the base/side of my pinky from my hand rubbing over what I wrote. Luckily though nothing I write smudges and that’s all that really matters. I just get a dark smudge of ink on my pinky.
Review: Perfect Pen - I will not use another brand of pen after discovering these! The feel of the barrel in your grip is smooth, comfortable and functional. The design is clean, sharp - making it durable and able to withstand drops and even my dog thinking he can write as well. They write so smooth and the ink doesn't smudge. While the price isn't the cheapest on the market, they are worth every penny spent - I have purchased multiple to keep in different spots around the house, my purse, my travel writing bag, my desk and the fun part, you can purchase ink refills in different colors to change things up if you like! I currently have pink, burgundy, purple, blue and black and if I can find other color refills I will get them as well. I can't say enough good about this pen!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can a Pilot g2 gel refill fit in this pen?**
A: NO! NO! NO! The G2 refills are way too long to fit in this pen. It will only fit the much shorter Center of Gravity refills, which I have only been able to find in blue and black. I was very disappointed because my intention was to put pink G2 refills in this pen for grading papers. If you want to use G2 refills, you have to get a Dr. Grip Gel or Dr. Grip Ltd pen.

**Q: I bought the Dr. Grip FullBlack pen and I like it, except it writes like a roller ball and not a ballpoint. Is your's a true ballpoint or roller ball?**
A: I bought this too expecting a roller gel ink but it is realistically a ball point pen.   I hate this prn!

**Q: Is this the one with the super squishy grip?**
A: Yes and I love the way it writes. I give this a super star rating!!!

**Q: Is the clip plastic or metal?**
A: The model has a metal clip.
