Pilot Dr. Grip PureWhite Refillable & Retractable Ballpoint Pen, Medium Point, Pink Accents, Black Ink, Single Pen (36205)

As a medical student, I find myself going through pen after pen every few weeks with pages of notes and flash cards. In fact a callous has formed on my middle finger as all the pressure from hard grips I've been using.I cannot stress how much this pen has made a difference in my writing. Not only is it pain-free but my handwriting has improved because I don't have to rush my note taking in order to free myself from the pain of a hard grip. And, most importantly, I can now enjoy writing!A couple quick facts:It is a very smooth write, especially with the 1.0mm tip.Grip can be removed and washed if necessary (I've found that, like most pens, it will accumulate oils from your hand and may turn a darker color. No need to worry though, as it can be cleaned easily)Color is vibrant and fun to use! Also a great color for October and Breast Cancer Awareness!Grip is soft, gel-like cushion. It's firm enough to allow you to be able to control the pen, but not so firm that it impedes on your quality of life.I often use the pen clip and find that the plastic pens break often. So far, this pen clip has held up very well.Great pen. Highly recommend for anyone who hand writes regularly.

The Pilot Dr. Grip Retractable Ballpoint Pen is the best pen out there for the price. I do a LOT of handwriting for my job, 8hrs a day, 5 days a week and in my 20 yrs on the job I have not found a pen that is more comfortable or writes more smoothly. I've tried other brands - some more expensive, some cheaper - and I always go back to a Pilot. This particular pen is nice to look at, feels good in the hand, well balanced and the ink is smooth and makes a nice, consistently dark line. Love it. If you have a job like mine where you are filling out paperwork and forms all day long, give this pen a try.

Words cant describe how great this pen is. My husband used mine and wanted his own. I have small hands and yet this fits perfectly in between my fingers for how big this pen is. When writing or drawing the pen just glides along and it has a sense of satisfactory about it. The price is the only factor but once you can get past that then this is the best pen hands down.

Love the Dr. Grip pens because the wider body stops my hand from cramping. This has a perfect "heft" and writes like a gem. Plus I like the white with pink trim casing! (Note: the ink itself is black, which is all I use). The only thing more I could ask for is that it make my handwriting legible. :)

I love this pen it’s so smooth and glides easily with every stroke. Sheesh I never wanted to write so bad!

I've used Dr. Grip Center of Gravity ink pens for years. This one uses the same ink refills, but the pen weighs .02 oz less than a Center of Gravity. It's a nice looking pen, feels good in the hand and the ink is smooth, but it is not a balanced pen if that is what you're looking for.

What can I say? This pen writes like a dream.... only drawback is that it is a bit on the pricer side, but it's a small price to pay for the pleasure of using this magnificent writing instrument.

This pen is amazing. I have slight arthritis in my writing hand and this pen reduces pain. I'm in college so I write a lot. The pen glides nicely but don't drop it with the pen popped open for writing. Like any other gel pen it the ink skips after being dropped. This happened a few times but I continue to buy the pen because it's so comfortable.
