The main three types of Dr. Grips are the American, Japanese, and G-spec (aka Center of Gravity) Dr. Grips. *Note: I'm not distinguishing pen vs. pencil (most ps-ers tend to use pencils) American Dr. Grips are distinguished by their cloudy grip. This is what you would see in an American CVS/Office Max/etc... Japanese Dr. Grips are distinguished by their clear grip. Also, the tip has a different shape than that of American Dr. Grips. Pen mods tend to use this type of Dr. Grip grip. G-spec Dr. Grips (or Center of Gravity, same thing) are distinguished by their semi-cloudy, thinner grip which is seen over a colored inner grip. Japanese G-specs have a plastic tip, and American G-specs have a metal tip (from my experiences at least). They can be told apart by the packaging, and the look/feel of the tip. The picture linked is an American G-spec. Most spinners don't mind the difference between Japanese and American G-specs since usually, only the grips are used in modding. [spoiler=back to back comparison] American
Japanese
G-spec (American)

There are also rare types of Dr. Grips with black, white, or gray grips. (Probably some others that I'm not aware of, also) -

I was at Maido a few days ago, there was a cartoonish/kids Dr. Grip for $15 there. The barrel was decorated, and I think the grip was too.

Posted this a while back.
- Dr. Grip Black - These are basicly Black G-Specs, even though they are not called G-Specs
These have the body of my white Dr. Grip exept mine is one of the desk ones at the bottom.
- These are the normal G- Specs
- White G-Specs
- This is the flash colour series, which the whole pen (exept for the outer grip) is a given colour.
These are CL Dr. Grips, They are pretty much G-Specs exept for the inner grips are a different colour.
The CL Dr. Grips come in either 
or 
. I'm not sure but I think that the inner grips on these have weird textures.
This page lists all of the mechanical pencils that Pilot make now. The Dr. Grips are somewhere in the middle.
Now we get onto Dr. Grip ballpens. You can find all of pilots ballpens here. There are a few in each section.
These are Dr. Grip Gells. They only come in the portable variety (Ones with pocket clips)
These are Dr. Grip 4+1. They have weird tips :p. They have white grips.
These are the ballpen version of the all Black Dr. Grips.
These are the G-Spec ballpens.
These are the flash colour G-Spec ballpens.
And finally, this is the Dr. Grip CL ballpen. It must be noted these only come in the SkyTime variety.
Most of these Dr. Grips will have either a "Portable" or "Desk" hook/ hole at the end. The "Portable" ones have a Pocket hook, and the "Desk" ones have a hole for you to put a mobile keyring or something on.
And that concludes my Japanese Dr. Grip Primer :p It's rather messy and kinda off topic but I hope it improves your knowledge on Dr. Grips.
I think that the White gripped Dr. Grips and just these with White Grips. -

Yellow dr grip grips are made by soaking them in g2 ink overnight.
