Customer Reviews:

Really nice pens, I'm impressed! [Posted on 2007-10-19]
To be honest with you, I'm really a little surprised by these pens, I like them alot, Really alot, There is something about the way the size and the grip that make them really comfortable,,,for alot of writing. And even though they supposedly are a medium point, it seems more like a fine point-which I also prefer. These are great pens, you really can't go wrong. If Amazon had them in blue I'd buy that too-maybe they do and I'm not aware,,,
A terrific product,,,,,

Looks good, fts hand nicely, now if it only wrote well. [Posted on 2007-11-02]
The look and feel of this pen is great but its very "picky" about what it wants to work on. for instance: If you are using a pad of paper the dents created by writing on the top sheet will cause the pen to "skip" on the following page, also if your writing on thin paper (ie carbon-less multi copy forms) it wont write. The Ball/Ink is just far to finicky about when it will actually leave a mark.

Bottom line:
Pen works well enough if your writing on a "normal" single sheet of paper on a hard surface, but forget about using it on legal pads or multi-part forms.

Not Great [Posted on 2008-06-11]
I got this box because of its price but was not really satisfied. I won't be getting any more Zebras because I found their flow inconsistent and their barrels not very durable. The fact is if you're looking for cheap pens for a public setting then they're up to the job, but if it's something you're planning on using on a daily basis you can do better. I now take care of my pens much more than I did in the past as a way of getting around the cumulative expense of having to purchase them continuously.

Good basic use pen, slight criticism [Posted on 2008-08-17]
I would recommend these for basic casual use around the home.

I would not recommend these for constant heavy important use.

For the price they are an excellent value, and a fine disposable pen for just jotting things down (and for people who are always losing pens & tired of wasting money).

They are definitely a cut above your average basic disposable pen, and very comfortable.

My slight criticism is that they seem a little "sharp" and if you are heavy-handed they might tend to dig into the paper a little bit. Light-handed writers should not have an issue with this at all.

Nice semi-disposable pen for the price. [Posted on 2008-11-05]
My favorite office-use pens are the Zebra F301 and F402. Unfortunately I have a tendency to leave my pens laying around here and there, and I've come to realize that at a dollar or more each these two styles of pens aren't very cost effective for me.

Enter the Z-Grip. It's a bit thicker than the F301 and F402, but not enough to be objectionable for me (the Zebra Silver Select comes to mind as one pen far too big in the grip). I do have large hands, however, so those who prefer a thin writing instrument may want to look elsewhere.

As for the writing itself, I have no issues with it 95% of the time, but once in a while I find it a bit more finicky on glossy paper than the F301 or F402. But for appr. 1/4 the price I consider this a reasonable tradeoff. And it is miles ahead of the PaperMate junk that is available in our office supply cabinet. Reccomended.
