    I didn't see this listed in the stock pen index, so I figure I would share. I took a trip to officemax just to see what pens were available to me in my area, and I came across some "Pentel ENERGel Deluxe". I'm still new to penspinning but I haven't heard any mentions of this pen and it seemed to me like they were new because OfficeMax had them on display with some pens to try out. They were about 7 dollars for a pack of 3, but they were on sale so I managed to pick up 2 packs for 9 dollars. The reason I decided to pick them up was simply for the grips. They have a really light texture to them, wavy lines sort of like a fingerprint, so they stick pretty well for infinity/wiper tricks. The body of the pen is a bit thicker than an RSVP and the pen itself is also a bit heavier than an unmodded RSVP. The barrel has a plastic barrier inside of it so that's nearly useless, unless you really want to drill a hole in it....There is also metal tips, but its connected to the metal portion that the grip goes around, so if you wanted to use it, it would have to be cut. As far as using it unmodded to spin, I don't think that is a good idea. It's quite stocky and back heavy, with a huge metal clip. I've yet to use the grips or tips for any mod, but it was quite suprising how easily the grip supported the weight of the pen. Also, the grips are extremely easy to remove, they slide right off when you unscrew the tip. Maybe not a big deal, just wanted to share. Has anyone else used/found these pens? :D
