What is the best ball point pen on the market?

[Lawman]

One that won't skip, dry out and writes with a bold line.
I've hunted for years without finding one.
I'm ready to pay any price.

This pen is the best out there. My favourite by far. I have a bit of ADD, and a bad pen will make me lose focus very fast, so I found this one to work wonders. Also, these, IMHO, are better for my bad handwriting. Felt tips are the way to go.

Don't underestimate the value of a good pen! Having the perfect pen makes you want to write more!

I'm partial to the Pilot G2 Gel myself

BIC biro - plain, simple, cheap, writes for ages with a good line

I type mostly at work, so only need a pen to sign documents and write the odd b'day/xmas card - its a lost art i tell you!

It's not a ball point

I love these, in Fine (X-Fine is scratchy)

They don't smudge easy, but they're still the liquid-gel type ink that can smudge on very smooth surfaces. The line the Fine writes is strong and vivid.

For a "regular" ballpoint, I have yet to find a good one that doesn't skip. The classic Bic Stic doesn't skip much, but the line is hardly "bold."

If you've got to have the best:

My dad had a complete set of Mont Blanc pens. The actual writing portion was the same refills found at Wal Mart.

The fountain pens are impressively nice to write with, but the ball points are worthless trash

Try a fine tipped Sharpie.

I'm using an oddball from the drugstore, in general I find the gel pens to work fairly well, maybe check out some of the Pentel offerings/
