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

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.

Comfortable, nice weight, writes well

This is a great pen if you have a low grip. The pen tip is smaller than other Dr. Grip pens allowing you to hold it much closer to the tip. Very comfortable.

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).

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 love the feel of this pen but it doesn’t come with the free refill as the picture indicates.

Second time buying this pen and definitely deserves a review. The barrel on these pens are soft and easy to use being a guitar player for many years have caused my hands to develop some arthritis and using these pens have definitely been a game changer. There a is a noticeable difference when using this pen as it does not stress or fatigue my hand like normal pens. I have also sent to other family members who are also musicians and said that the pen is much more comfortable solution. This isn't just a therapeutic solution the pen works better than most other normal pens lol it doesn't smudge and glides so easily without any grit or hesitation.

Awesome pen. Very comfortable to hold and writes extremely well. I use this pen daily as my main writing instrument and it is a pleasure to use. If you buy one, you won't be disappointed.

I bought this pen because I kept getting an achy thumb joint at work. It has done the trick and my thumb no longer hurts after writing all day. Don't know how it works apart from being heavier at the writing end but I can recommend it.

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

Muy cómoda y muy padre
