This is an amazing pen! I bought it over a year ago and I still have it! I love it. The jetstream ink is of quality that you would expect, but what makes me love this pen also is the fact that it snuggly fits energel refills. I have used a blue 05 energel refill in this pen, and it writes amazingly, so if you ever want to switch up writing feel while using the same pen body, you could try fitting energel refills in this pen.
When I write, I hold my pens close to the tip, with the pen vertical at almost 90 degrees to the paper, and only pinky side of my wrist touching the paper. The thumb side of my wrist is far from the paper. Thus, the grip on this pen is a bit too far from the tip to suit me personally. If you write with the pen at an angle and with your fingers further from the tip, this is a great pen for you, however, you cannot fully benefit from the alpha gel grip if you grip the pen close to the tip like I personally do.

I love this pen. The weight and the soft grip are both very nice. A lot of people complain about the ink that it comes with. I personally do not like ballpoint pens, so I replaced the cartridge with the 0.5 needle tip pentel energel cartridge as soon as I received the pen. The pentel energel ink is by the far the best I have used and putting it into the pen body makes an incredible pen. I highly recommend doing this if you prefer gel pens over ballpoint.

This pen is GLORIOUS! Of course the grip is incredible, the finish is gorgeous, and it has a nice weight to it. One thing to note however is that the clip design has changed from the above pictures, the clip on mine is mounted at the very end of the barrel, allowing whatever you clip the pen onto to travel the full length of the clip. It is easier to clip while still being secure as well.

Not impressed. Writing quality is what I expected from a jetstream. Metal is quite light and somewhat cheap feeling for the price. The white plastic near the clicker has come unhinged in four weeks of daily business use, and sometimes the clicker gets jammed. I don't recommend this pen.

Gel pens are great to write with because of their smoothness but, as a left handed writer, I cannot use most gel pens because they smear all over. However, I no longer envy right handed writers because of this pen. The Jetstream line has a remarkable ink flow that makes writing extremely smooth. In fact, this pen writes smoother than most gel pens! And did I mention that this is a ballpoint pen! I highly recommend this pen to all writers and especially to lefties. In addition, the grip is as you would expect from the alpha gel line-soft, cushy and heavenly. While the price of this pen is quite high, you get two great things in one pen-a terrific grip, and a unrivaled ink flow. In addition, the metal body of this pen makes it durable, so when the ink runs out, you can just buy a refill and use it for years.
