There Are Pandas, and Then There Are Pandas.
And this isn't either of them! The Pandas we're talking about here, are watches, not bears. And what got me thinking about them (again) was a link posted this morning by @cm.rook who pointed a few of us to the very attractive (and not terribly priced) Yema "Rallygraph" Panda which, in it's most traditional arrangement, looks like the one on the left, but can also be had in the version on the right: The model on the left is a true Panda, while the model on the right is called a reverse Panda. The reason for that distinction is clear--Panda bears, only come in the first arrangement. Now at this point, everyone should be thinking about the most well-know Panda, The Rolex Panda, which is actually a Daytona, and among Rolex Daytonas, the most famous of which is the Paul Newman Daytona, which was famous first, because it was Paul's, and second because it sold at auction for $17.8 million (US Dollars).

I'm going to assume you are asking specifically for "ballpoints". Ballpoints have gone thru changes in the last decade. They come in hybrid form where the oil is mixed with another ink, to create a richer writing ballpoint. Your pen, the PENTEL SUPERB BKN77, I believe is the older ballpoint ink.
I am a designer myself, tho I don't have a preference for sketching, most of my design is digital. But I do have a fascination with pens for handwriting and lettering specifically brush/fude pens.
It might be worth noting to you that PENTEL makes a pen that uses the same Body as the SUPERB and they call it HYBRID:
I love the SKB-1000. I only have the new ones, not the originals. They are definitely "hybrid" ballpoints you can find these easily on ebay. But I don't find them as high quality writers:
If your not asking specifically for a "ballpoint", I would try a Pilot HI-TEC. It is a gel pen with a needle point:
It really depends what you are sketching/drawing/writing, as I could go from a Pilot HI-TEC to a Fountain to a Kuretake Cocoiro, to a Tombow Fude depending on the mood.
