The Pilot Precise Grip Rolling Ball is a fancier version of the Pilot Precse V5 Rolling Ball. If you can do without the grip and updated look, you can save money on the V5. Instead of .5 mm with the V5 or .7 mm with the V7, the Precise Grip comes in extra fine (.5 mm) and bold (1.0 mm).

The grip is protected inside the cap when not in use, so it lasts longer than other rubber grip pens. It also keeps the rubber from grabbing onto clothing materials for people who keep them in their pockets.

The Precise Grip offers smooth writing, but has a needle point that Pilot likes to use. The needle point looks good, but is very weak. Heavy handers and people who have to press hard for carbon copies should stay away from this pen.
