Reviewer Comments:

The Pilot G2 Retractable Gel Ink Rolling Ball is a consistently smooth writing pen. The ink can come out a bit heavy at times, and the rubber grip can come loose when it gets hot. The tip is good, but if you drop it on the floor, the balance is likely to make it hit tip first and ruin the pen. Have some refills available if you're clumsy.

The G2 is made in Bold, Fine, Extra Fine and Ultra Fine points, though I've only seen Fine .7 mm and Extra Fine .5 mm in stores.

Pilot g2

Pilot, to me, has mastered gel ink with the G2 Bold, especially. But why don't they pay att'n to the feel/hold of the pen? Except for the new G2 Limited, there is no thought to a softer hold for the pen, which is a mistake.

Pilot G2

I think the G2 is somewhat of a trivial pen. It writes smoothly at first, right out of the package, but over time, if you let it dry out a bit, it will write like a dry quill pen. The ball tends to jam with dried ink, but this is typical of rollerballs. After a while, the line tends to become a bit inconsistent.

It's a good red pen for teachers who correct papers every day, but then again, the ink WILL smear...
