Non-Fp Pen That Writes Well At A Low Angle?

[WilsonCQB1911]

FPs and pencils work well for me due to the lower angle they write at. It's more comfortable for me. I can't find a gel, rollerball, or ballpoint that works well at the lower angle I like to write at it. They all do their best at 90 degrees. Is there a pen that would work for me that I haven't tried?

Depends on how low. I know some of the UNIball Sig-no work at the low angles. I know the Pilot Ageless BP, Frixon, and Dr Grip works at low angles.

 

But not all FPs work best at low angles..... Pilot MS nib is flat at 90 degrees and very smooth at that angle.

I just tried a few ballpoints at an angle of 45 degrees, some were scratchy, no surprise, but both the PaperMate Inkjoy and Pentel Energel were smooth enough.

My Pilot Hi-Tec-C 0.5 writes smoothly down to an angle of 40 degrees from horizontal.

 

I suspect that in general, needle-tip gels with broader tips will give you the best results.

 

Edit: Argh! I can't believe I didn't think of this first... What about a fiber-tip pen? They allow you to write with a light touch as with a FP, and work at a low angle. Sakura Pigma Microns are popular.

Watch out for Sharpie Felt tips pens though. They work best if it's high angle.
