Based on a common need for a more comfortable writing instrument, Pilot set out to give people the writing solution they were looking for. In 1995, Pilot launched Dr. Grip, a pen and mechanical pencil collection designed to provide superior writing comfort and be the solution to that demand. By 1996, the entire Dr. Grip line earned the Ease-of-Use Commendation by the Arthritis Foundation. More recently in 2012, a three-month study conducted by the Georgia Tech Research Institute found Dr. Grip Center of Gravity (COG) surpassed key competitors in overall comfort ratings for users both with and without arthritis. In the study, Dr. Grip COG was proven to be almost 2X more comfortable than key competitor brands*.
Dr. Grip's classic line has been enhanced over the years with the introduction of a wide variety of barrel colors and styles. The collection includes both fashion-forward and professional styles for a variety of writing needs and occasions. Dr. Grip is available in barrel colors that range from fun neon colors, to sophisticated metallic hues, to professional blue, black, and silver. In addition, Dr. Grip is offered in a variety of point types including Medium 1.0 mm ball point ink, Fine 0.7 mm gel ink, and #2 HB mechanical pencil lead. Every Dr. Grip pen and mechanical pencil is retractable and refillable for continued use and lasting value.
The newest addition to the Dr. Grip Collection is a writing instrument that serves as both pen and pencil. In fact, the Dr. Grip 4+1 is 5 different writing options in one! Designed for getting complex jobs done with incredible precision, the Dr. Grip 4+1 has retractable Black, Blue, Red and Green advanced ink, as well as Mechanical Pencil lead. Dr. Grip 4+1 is perfect for anyone who needs--or just simply enjoys--different writing options for editing, organizing, and more. Dr. Grip is the ultimate all-in-one writing instrument.

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.
At first the pen skip-wrote between words and I was a bit sad but after using it a bit more, it was just as smooth as expected and hasn't done it since! It doesn't smear when I use highlighter on it and the grip is very soft. It's overall a nice smooth pen and bonus pink look.
Writes like a dream and the grip is steady and very comfortable. Nice to look at. I love pretty pens
Grip of this pen is really amazing.one of the smooothest grip, I have used.ink is also nice.pilot people really know how to make pen.
Es una pluma muy cómoda, se escribe fácil y sin esfuerzo, lo único es que pensé que era de tinta azul, pero bueno, la tinta negra es vibrante y no mancha. Definitivamente seguiré comprando esta línea Dr Grip.
This style of pen (as well as the fine point version) is my favorite to write with. The picture shows that it comes with a refill cartridge but it does not. The writing is smooth. The grip is squishy & wider than normal pens which helps to keep from cramping. The push button works well and has a nice click sound.
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!
This pen is very nice! Writes well and is super comfortable.Though I get ink on the base/side of my pinky from my hand rubbing over what I wrote. Luckily though nothing I write smudges and that’s all that really matters. I just get a dark smudge of ink on my pinky.
Love this Dr. Grip pen, which writes smoothly and feels great in your hands. I also love that I can buy the pen refills easily. And because I am a breast cancer survivor I appreciated the pink color.
Pleased with pen. Good grip and smooth writing. I have bought it as a present for an elderly friend.
I love pens. This is one of my favorites. Works better than many expensive pens Ive bought. Comfortable to hold and writes smoothly.
Comfortable to use and ink flows smoothly
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.
