Pilot Acroball Smooth Writing Ballpoint Pen - 0.7 mm - Red Body - Red Ink

Enjoying this pen. Similar ink flow to the Jetstream line by Uniball, though perhaps a tad scratchy. Just like the Jetstream, the Acroball 0.7mm writes closer to 0.5 or thinner line. Tends to give some ink globs with smaller handwriting as well. The grip is made of a nice firm rubber, which I prefer to the overly-rubbery feeling of the Jetstream grips. Overall, I think I do prefer the Acroball to the Jetstream, and you might too if you can look past the subtle scratchiness.

This is the best ballpoint pen I've ever used. The Pilot Acroball writes smoothly, with dark/bold ink, and very rarely globs even a tiny bit. The pen body feels nice and light. Also, even though it's .7mm, since it writes so smoothly, the line is finer than some .5mm pens. It's really a great pen for a great price. Since I found the JetPens site, I've also ordered the Uni-ball Jetstream Ballpoint Pen,.5 mm; the Zebra Espina Pearly Rubber Ballpoint Pen, .7 mm; the Kokuyo FitCurve Ballpoint Pen,.7mm; and the Pentel Vicuna Supersmooth Ballpoint Pen, .7mm. The Pilot Acroball is by far the best of these. My only complaint is that it doesn't come in more ink colors; I really like a variety of colors of ink.

Seems kinda ridiculous to take time to write about a pen, but that's exactly how much I LOVE this pen! I have looked for the perfect pen and now I've found it. No need to experiment or try anything else out there. Perfect grip, doesn't streak, writes instantly, doesn't glob and isn't too expensive. At least not for the perfect pen! Listen, I work in an industrial environment that dictates I have to have a pen at all times. This pen attaches and holds to pockets of the thinnest shirts and to collars of the thickest t-shirt, which is important to me. In blue or black ink, you can't go wrong. The blue is absolutely the best blue I've ever seen. And no, I don't work for Pilot, the only reason I'm writing is because I want to get the word out so they'll have more sells and continue to carry this pen. That's how much it means to me. I cannot tell you how many times someone has tried to 'walk away' with this pen. Ain't gonna happen! Try this pen, and hey, if you don't like it these guys will refund your money. Gotta feeling that that 'ain't gonna happen'. Cheers.

The Pilot Acroball has the most phenomenal ink of any ballpoint pen I have ever used! It is smooth, intense in color, and writes the second it hits the page. It is has all the good characteristics of a gel ink, without the drawbacks (smudging, tip build-up, etc.). This is a pen you won’t set aside, or loan!

I have had one of these for awhile now, and I can't find anything to complain about.. It writes every time and feels a bit more substancial than a jetstream. I really like a wood feel..
