Uni-ball Alpha Gel HD Shaka Shaker Pencil - 0.5 mm - Chrome Green Body - White Grip

I have a left-handed, 13 yr old daughter with many sensory issues, and according to her, this is a *great* pencil. She loves the squishy feel, and I think the little bit of extra weight keeps her focused when she writes. She loves this color, and I'll be ordering her refills soon because it's already on my mind for school starting up again in August. In all seriousness, if my daughter's happy, it's worth sharing with the world.

Uni-ball Alpha Gel Shaka Shaker Pencil - 0.5 mm

Good:
- Perfect balance in weight.
- Gel provides comfort in people who tend to write fast or extensively.
- Revised clip, better than the HD series one.
- Shaker is okay.

Bad:
- Grip rips very easily, good care is recommended to avoid this.
- The shaking mechanism sometimes jams.
- No lower grip for writers who grip the pencil low.

I don't really see a difference between chrome green and the chrome light blue version..?
Nonetheless, this is a REALLY good pencil and if you don't play with the gel that makes up the handle, it WON'T rip... but if you play with it too much, it will. Mine hasn't ripped at all. Really good pencil :)
I hope Uni-ball makes other designs in this series. Uni-ball is a GREAT pen/pencil company!
