Likewise, but switching to the fountain pen has improved it tremendously.
A ball point has to be moving whereas the nib can start and stop giving better control. I had a problem with my checkbook register, the first two columns on the left are for the check number and date but oil from my thumb/finger would make it impossible for a ballpoint. Even the skip proof, write on anything pens couldn't hack it. Then with numbers looking like they were formed with dotted lines, trying to go back and make them legible made it worse.
But the fountain pen says hold my cap and watch this...
