PILOT Dr. Grip Center of Gravity Refillable & Retractable Ballpoint Pen, Medium Point, Charcoal Grip, Black Ink, Single Pen (36180)

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!

I have a couple of these pens and replace them or give them away regularly. The Dr. Grip Center of Balance pen has a nice weight to it and is well balanced. It feels really good resting on your knuckles as you write. The lower barrel also has a soft gel covering which makes long writing sessions much more comfortable. The ink flows well, not scratchy or skippy. It's great for fast writing and taking notes during a lecture. If you have hand pain (because of arthritis or other injury) this pen will feel much more comfortable than others. The larger size makes it easier to grip and means your fingers can be spaced a little farther apart while writing. I have a bit of pain in the distal knuckle of my middle finger, but I can write for long periods with this pen. The Dr. Grip Center of Balance is heavier than the regular Dr. Grip; I like this one better but they're both fine writing tools. Buying the pink version supports breast cancer research which is just a great bonus. It's a great pen overall with features that will help people with physical injuries in their hands. Highly recommended.

Favorite pen for work always writes smooth ball point or gel ink. Love the design of the pen for painful hands. Will continue to order as needed.

I'm one of those people that LOVES pens and this pen is in my top ten favorites. I've purchased several of these pens and I love them. I love the squishy comfort grip, the weight of the pen, and how well it writes. These pens are well worth the money.

I'll cut to the chase, the Center of Gravity design is one of the most comfortable pen designs I've ever used, I write a lot and sometimes I'll get cramps and fatigue in my wrists or even fingers, with this pen I can keep going for longer sessions. In addition to the nice grip and balance design, the Pilot turbo ink is superb! If gel roller ink was described to be in between liquid ink and ball point... then I would describe this ink to be in between gel and ballpoint oil ink.. it is just so smooth+fluid(it just glides!), and it doesn't bleed through like gel and liquid ink has a tendency to. Having said this, I've bought refills for this pen and noticed that it wasn't as good as the refill it shipped with(this goes for the Full Black version, the cartridge that it came with wasn't as smooth as the one that came in the CoG, I swapped them and used them extensively to make sure I wasn't imagining it, hah.. I mean I could be wrong, but it is noticeable.. and having said that, the refills that I bought are still adequate and better compared to competition ball point pens out there.) I'm briefly comparing this ink to the original Dr. Grip (had it since the mid 96-97'), Fish Space pen(medium point), and Zebra F701(that's nice and smooth too, but a bit too light for my preference).

Excellent pen with smooth writing! Giving 4 stars because it didn’t come with the refill that was pictured.

I bought this pen because my hands have been cramping every time I spend even a short amount of time writing. The ink glides smoothly without skipping or change of pressure and somehow it seems more balanced. Easier to handle with a gentle grip of my hand. It is working out beautifully! I can even write comfortably with it for half and hour. No more skinny pens! I am extremely pleased and will purchase again in the future.

Comfortable to use, glides through paper. For me, it is worth the price.

Writes like a dream and the grip is steady and very comfortable. Nice to look at. I love pretty pens
