Parker ballpen review

Basically I am fountain pen fan, not ball pen. But last time, I bought this Parker ball pen from local Pen Sense without intention while shopping around  at town. It looked nice . Only £18.

Unfortunately, my first problem with this stainless steel pen was the ball point which delayed to work, not enough ink even after forceful test strokes on white paper.


The next  issue is that it is too much slippery in my  fingers. Every time I wrote, I needed to concentrate not to lose from gripping point. I have no idea why tip end metal surface so smooth. 

Everybody knows that the Parker ball pen is  not posh in the world standard.. But wondering why the manufacturer did not test it properly before sending to market. Maybe poor  customer feedback system or they dont care feedbaclk. Another possibility is that rival pen producers have been managing to produce such non-user friendly product after putting their cells in production line of the Parker. Just thinking. My thinking may not be realistic.

I have Lamy pens which are really nice with comfortable hand grip. So I did not expect this kind of issue before buying this Parker ball pen.
