5.0 out of 5 stars Picky about pens? Try this one!!, October 31, 2006

This pen is one of my favorite things! I LOVE it! Great for those who write a lot, or for someone who may have trouble with getting a good comfortable grip on slimmer styled pens. The barrel/body of the pen is a good size, and larger than, say, a regular ball point pen. I think the look of the pen is very stylish and I like the colors it comes in. I enjoy using this pen!

This pen is reasonably priced and refills are easy to find. I used to prefer ball point pens, and avoid 'gel' pens because the gel pens would 'skip' while you're writing or the ink would just stop. -Not so with this pen! -It rolls right along smoothly. Great gift! I've seen other people who have this pen say that they love it too.

While I served in the military, physicians determined that I had arthritis. Since it only bothered my major joints, such as my knees, and since the prescribed treatments relieved the symptoms, I really paid little attention to the condition. Unfortunately, after I retired from the military the arthritis settled into my fingers.

For me, the most irritating problem with arthritis in my hands is with my writing. I had used ballpoint pens comfortably and with ease. Now, with my grip I am unable to control the pen, and my penmanship which was always sloppy became unreadable, even to me.

Pilot Dr. Grip is a wonderful solution. First the barrel is fatter so I do not lose the pen. Second, the barrel has a non slip surface which keeps the pen in my control. Since the barrel is larger it is much more comfortable than other pens I have tried.

I highly recommend the Pilot Dr. Grip.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best ballpoint pen ever!, September 21, 2011

I'm left-handed, and as most lefties know, smudging is a very annoying problem. With regular ballpoint pens, the smudging was getting so bad to the point that my notes were becoming illegible. One of my professors suggested a fine-tip rolling ballpoint pen or a gel-ink pen. This was the last of its kind in stock in my college's bookstore. That alone says something. I put it to use right after I bought it, and WOW! No smudging AT ALL! It's also really comfortably to hold and writes smoothly. I don't think I'll being using any other pen from now on.
