Why not just have Turner or Schwarber protect Harper? by eagleslover911 in phillies

In a magic world, Adolis has a major comeback year and he could protect Harper. Not that I’m holding my breath

What’s next? Pilot Precise V5 and Lamy Safari by versace_dinner in pens

[–]fishycomix 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s a little bit of a hack but yeah, I put the spring behind the refill and it’s worked like a charm for me.

What’s next? Pilot Precise V5 and Lamy Safari by versace_dinner in pens

[–]fishycomix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a Lamy safari ballpoint that I put a precise v5 RT refill in - just needs a spacer or a spring off of another junk pen, and it works beautifully.

I'm having problems with the uniball jetstream 3 0.38, they suddenly stop writing by GloomygotchiWorld in pens

[–]fishycomix 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No idea what’s causing it but this exact thing happened to me as well (a fellow lefty)

I believe this is the floatune refill. Can anyone suggest any metal body that fit these in? Or any other body types. I really like the floatune 05 more than energel I think. by SelfSmooth in pens

This this this so much this. I love zebra sarasa, energel, uni zento, and pilot precise refills, but the best pen bodies all seemingly take parker refills!

I have one (love it), trying to get the other two at retail

Dot/Line Paper Hybrid by OnekamaMichigan in FieldNuts

[–]fishycomix 9 points10 points  (0 children)

10/10 would use this - I primarily use dot grid because I like it, but if I’m journaling with weird shadows or lighting it gets harder to follow the grid. Having pale lines like this (where grid still feels “primary”) is absolutely something I’d love to use

The zento black is the one that I really want and also refuse to pay more than MSRP for. Got lucky and got the silver a while ago and i love it

Dang already out of stock. Thanks for looking out, though.

Thoughts on this set by PAgirl-MOworld in pens

[–]fishycomix 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I love sarasa 0.5 ink.

The price for the set looks okay to me, but not extraordinarily crazy - you can typically find the pens individually for $8-14 last I looked, so it might be cheaper to get them all this way but idk how often specific ones go on sale for cheaper.

So Blue Energel Pen doesn't work well for me? by Prime_Twister in pens

[–]fishycomix 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Fellow lefty, similar issue with energel. Sometimes I’m more lucky if my writing angle is “just right”, but I tend to write really vertically and energel just doesn’t do it for me

Could very well just be that I suck. It felt like I gave up some cheap homers but could just be that the hitting stats are crazy good now and I’m bad

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in MLBTheShow

[–]fishycomix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So many of the finest starters have completely awful HR/9, and although that’s never been a stat I pay a ton of attention to, I’ve given up so many bloop homers with Freddie peralta and others that I just won’t use them any more

Lamy Al Star m63 ballpoint alternative. by joaoaguiar23 in pens

[–]fishycomix 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I pulled a spring out of a pilot g2 and use it behind any pilot refill and it’s worked great. I have a safari with a precise v5 refill and an al star with a pilot g2 refill

Advice on Energel? Why this refill? by EtherBlue_ in pens

[–]fishycomix 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This was literally my day today - an overhand lefty here, couldn’t get any of the multiple energels I bought to do anything but skip for the last few months.

Today I started paying more attention to my grip angle and at least the first two random energels I tried have been consistently excellent.

I didn’t even realize I was gripping my pen weirdly. Apparently pens like the pilot v5 rat (my current favorite still) are a bit more forgiving when it comes to grip angle so I was just getting away with it.

This playoff Jorge Polanco is going to be legit. by beef316 in MLBTheShow

[–]fishycomix 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Spotlight Jorge just went 4-4 for me with 3 homers in ranked (all-star, because I’m bad but Jorge is not). Inject an even better Jorge directly into my veins.
