As a lefty I can confidently say fuck all pens. The sharpie gel one I use is alright but ball points just don't work for those of us who push the ball when we write instead of dragging it. It's like every pen I use is out of ink.

    Turn the page about 45 degrees clockwise, you'll write more straight across the page and the pen will work better because you're not pushing it. Experiment until you find the angle that works best for you.

    Additional bonus: No more smudges on your hand/the page.

    Most people ask if it hurts when I write. Decades ago I decided to basically write upside-down. I turn the paper the opposite direction you're saying then curl my hand essentially pulling the pen. I fill out door hangers for my job and I hold them upside-down on my leg and fill them out. Customers often ask how the hell I do it lol. I'm like, necessity my friend.
