I just write my state examination and had always problems in exams, with my pen to write for hours. After the first few pages I had slight pain in his hand. Since such an exam usually goes over 15-20 pages had to be a solution. I was fortunate to be able to try the pen with a friend. In my hand he is really good and I think he's relaxed, so long writing is no longer a problem. Unfortunately, the cartridges are quite expensive, but it's worth it, the new writing experience. It is therefore recommended that the pen - if possible - to thoroughly test for schoolmates / friends or in the shop, because it is not the ideal pen for each hand.
