I get where you're coming from, but, given that I own several pens, and my handwriting really differs depending on which pen I'm using, I would say he has a point. Changing the pen you use (even within ballpoints) can significantly impact your handwriting. In reality, it's a bit more complicated. I've found the following impacts my handwriting: - Grip format on pen (i.e. shape of pen) - Ink I'm using - Paper I'm writing on - Nib - And yes, type of pen (ballpoint vs fountain pen)
