> 3 dayI have been using this pen for close to 20 years now and have tried many others in that period. I have never encountered another pen with the same rolling smoothness and balance in my hand. I used to buy them at Staples all the time, but now have to order it there. I just came across this on Amazon, and while I wish they hadnt changed the barrel marking to this conspicuous large font, Im presuming it is the same pen Ive loved all these years. Writing quality: Very smooth and consistent. Tends to bleed through thinner papers but, thats because the ink is so consistent. Its listed as a rollerball, but it doesnt have the dead spots in a line one expects of a rollerball such as bic. I also notice that needlepoints tends to get stuck on paper. I hate needlepoints. This pen rolls across different types of papers smoothly, and will also not pool in one spot very easily. Comfort: I think its the perfect size and shape. Its shorter than the traditional or Bic brand size, which gives me a great balance when writing. I also like the stiffness of the barrel, and the clear plastic around where your fingers grip are just the right size. The material gives good tacky grip. I will never be able to write again if they stop selling this pen!

> 3 dayNever thought I would take the time to write an Amazon review for a pen, but here we are. I have used these pens exclusively for more than 20 years. It started when, in high school. I randomly picked up one of my dad’s, and that is when the love affair began. It was, of course, love at first write. I committed my undying devotion to Vball pens right then and there, and it’s been the only pen I’ve used for well over 20 years. I wish I could still find them in stores, but I love that I can buy a 12-pack on Amazon. They used to be sold separately, just one in a pack. I get compliments on my handwriting all the time and always give these pens the credit. They write so smoothly and beautifully. In 20 years I can count on one hand the amount of pens I may have had leak. And they do last a long time. This is literally the only pen I buy or use. Please, please VBall, don’t ever change or discontinue this product!

> 3 dayNo skipping ever with these pens. Also when there are tiny spaces and forms to fill out this is the only pen I can use or my tiny responses are at least legible. Best pens ever

> 3 dayIve been a professional writer for 30 years, and for my money, this is the best pen Ive ever used. Skip free and so extremely fluid, its more like writing with a brush than a pen. And from a design perspective, the V Ball is simple, attractive, functional and very comfortable - a solid performer. Show me any Waterman or Mont Blanc that even comes close, and Ill buy it. But in the interim, at less than two bucks a pop, the Pilot V Ball sets the gold standard for everything a great pen should be.
