Agreed. These are gold for lefties. I have yet to find a better pen. It's a joy to use and the .5mm ball also makes my writing look very neat and tidy.

Additionally, they come in a number of colors, all of which are quite rich. Big fan!

I had a friend of mine recommend them a while back. I was extremely dubious -- a gel pen? For lefties?? No way.

Well, he was right. I've been converted to the church of EnerGel.

You'll pry my EnerGels out of my cold, dead left hand.

Pentel Energel 0.7mm is the best pen I've ever used, period. Effortless writing with almost no friction. Clear contrasty quick-drying ink. Never too much ink (blotchy) or too little (streaky).

I don't trust the recommendations of this page. They recommend pens as blanket statements not mentioning size, and that's just... wrong. and imprecise. For example, the Pentel Energel 1.0mm is too blotchy. The 0.5mm is too scratchy. The 0.7mm is just right. Also their uniball recommendation is strange. I've tried all kinds of uniball pens and never liked any of them. They seemed to require too much effort, or had ink that wouldn't go down cleanly.

I adore gel pens. I go through a good number since I'm writing a book and am also an artist. I searched for "Pentel EnerGel" on jetpens.com...

Haha. Let me get my coffee...

Thanks!
