Substantial pick with great grip
347822
The pick is built to last and has a great grip, even with gloves on.  I got it to chop a thick ice pillar that had formed below my furnace exhaust vent from condensation.  I returned the first pick, as it had a blunt tip that a Cuda rep said was defective.  The second one has a finer tip and chops ice well, though its still not as sharp as shown in the picture (the only reason it's not 5 stars).

If you like thumb picks, you will love this one.
A good tight fit on medium thumb.
I like the short pick extension, this makes it pick more like a flatpick than most thumb picks.
The sound is good, only a flatpick can beat it.

Hey; it's a pick, and a nice one. However since we all have different preferences you'll have to buy one to see if you like it as much as I do. It does have a nice pattern of nubs that make it easy to grip.

Cool Picks are my favorite picks. i feel like they are a much better feel than any other Grippy picks. Seriously my absolute favorite! just wish i could find them more places locally.

The grip on the pick is quite nice. The product details were quite accurate. A good buy for anyone looking for proper picks.

I hate picks that feel flimsy. Usually I am a finger-picker, but i decided to get these since they are not flimsy at all (you could take a diamond cutting blade and this thing would be able to withstand it.) Also I love the grip they have!

This is the most stable pick in the hands that I have; it's like sweat-proof, and the attack on the strings is great. If I ever lose this pick, I may well buy a bunch of them to replace it. Seriously, if I only owned 2 kinds of picks, I'd have these and V-Picks Mummies. I don't know what the magic formula is, but the price of these picks (including shipping) is totally worth it. (Though not the Johnny Hyland, which is only worth about as much as the Mummy, in my opinion; not its ridiculous price).

I really like using this pick with my acoustic nylon string guitar.  The rubber makes it easy to hold onto and I feel it obtains good sound on the guitar as well.

I play rock,bluegrass, and jazz, guitar and mandolin. As a long time Dunlop Tortex and Ultex user, i really like these picks, and imho, this import merits the slightly higher cost. I am not an elitist and use picks and lose em like everyone else, and can and do use many, from fenders, to dunlops, gator, clayton and others. Everyone has their own preferences, but what appeals to me is some simple and subtle points:

1 thin but stiff-this material is superb, hard but slick, similar to carbon nylon, similar to Ultex, but slicker feeling imho, no resistance on the strings, but you can really dig in depending on how you angle the point /edge-this is what makes these 'special' imho-its harder than most others.

2 reefer plant emboss makes for a great grip, just enough to keep it in place , especially after a couple of hours playing/comping, as my grip sometimes gets tired, just enough to not have to squeeze so tightly, which reduces fatigue

3 edge seems to glide, and i presume its either or the bevel and material

but what makes these among my favorites, is
4 the attack and precision. If i want my flatpicking or mando solo to really pop, i may use these over all others.

and, the less pointed edge also makes for a pretty darn good mando pick, not unlike the proplecs ive been using

i liked these so much, and since they aren't always easily found, i bought several packs, in both .88 and 1.-both are quite stiff and have great control (as are the lighter .77)

simple little thing a pick but, after playing forty plus years, they really do make a difference. I tend to be more aware of this when playing higher gauge/tension strings or instruments.

I recommend the pickboy line overall-ive got many of thier styles and materials and they are great picks, imho, especially the jazz picks (now called "J-Picks" i believe) -a great balance between full round sound and control and attack.

I'm not willing to pay big bucks for Wegen or Blue Chip. Jimmy Dunlop developed a pick from the Ultem resin and made these and other Ultex picks. Hard, durable and with some slightly notable chime on the attack.

I use these on my Martin HD-28 for bluegrass. I still prefer the feel of the nylon Jazz III on my electrics.

Mine are " with grip". It is more subtle than Dunlop's max grip and certainly provides some tactile control if your hands are a little sweaty.

Comes in a little bag with a hand-initialed card by the person who beveled them.

Amazon should really group all the picks of the same design together, and provide drop-down menus for what kind of thickness and how many dozen one wants to order, because there's no reason for the dozen or so pages for these six different picks.  But I digress . . .

About two months ago I picked up three new picks at my guitar store--the 2.0 mm Jim Dunlop Delrin pick (the dark purple one in the photo), a Jim Dunlop 208 jazz pick, and 1.52 mm Clayton USA teardrop pick. Mere weeks before that, my lovely wife got me a gift of a pack of the well-known and very expensive V-Picks (you won't find those on Amazon). Also, strewn about my house are tons of 0.60 mm Jim Dunlop nylon picks (my standard for over a decade), and Jim Dunlop .71 mm Gator Grip picks. Among all those choices, I keep a very close eye on where my 2.0 mm Delrin pick is, because it's really the only one I want to use anymore.

Its features that might be of interest to you would be:

1) it does not flex or bend. At all. Apparently they're designed to be that way.
2) it has a very smooth texture--no grip built into the surface. Much to my surprise, though, I've never dropped it, and I use it literally every day.
3) it lasts. As I said, I use it every day. I've used it for at least an hour, usually 3 or more, per day, for the last month. I've got some wear on the normal spots on either side of the pick, but my gray nylon Dunlop would be a stub by now, and the V-pick that I use the most is just as worn as the Delrin one is, but I've used it only a fraction of the time in comparison.
4) the 2.0 mm feels comfortable. I know full well that's a preference thing, but I'm still fascinated that I enjoy the feel of a thick pick so much.
5) the tone is strong and bright with these, and the pick itself is quiet. I primarily play a Gretsch G-5122 with 12-guage DR strings. My lighter picks provide big sound, but they have almost have a "pop" to them when I strum or play individual notes. My V-picks grate across the winding on my lower strings, and produce a much mellower tone. My Delrin doesn't grate and creates a big sound.
6) it's reasonably fast. I mentioned earlier I also have a Jim Dunlop 208. If you want a fast pick, go with that bad boy--it's designed for nothing else. I have difficulty getting 16th notes at anything over 110 bpm with my Delrin. Part of that is technique, but the design of the pick also plays a significant part. I won't call this a flaw, but this is one area that it's not perfectly outstanding.
-----------
Edit: I actually sprung the $14 and change for 6 dozen of these.  I'm happy--I'm not buying picks again for probably 10 years.

I've used a number of different "medium celluloid" picks for years, including Fender and Jim Dunlop, and these are definitely my favorite. The Fender picks tend to warp and lose their shape after an hour or two of heavy single-note playing. The Dunlops are better but their finished edges are tapered too thin. This pick seems to combine the best qualities of the other brands. They last a long time, wear very clean, and the material itself sounds great. The high quality and consistency from pick to pick is also a big plus. I will say the the D'Andrea logo on the pick is actually grippy and not as gold as in the picture, which is actually better in my opinion.

So, funny story. The first pick like this I ever played with was one I found lying on the ground somewhere. (You know how that goes, right?) I liked the feel and grip of it so much I bought this pack on Amazon. Basically the only picks I use now. Get these. You won't be disappointed.

Very good Pick for all types of picking Thumb, Plectrum etc. Because of gauge I found it easier
to use then the Medium. Would recommend.
  Thanks Judy

I ordered the variety pack of V-Picks and this is the one I love:  Medium Rounded 2.75mm.  I tried it on my Les Paul Custom electric this afternoon and the ease of playing is phenomenal.  The tone of the guitar is mystical, heavy, smooth.  I have tendonitis in my thumbs that usually makes my hand hurt to hold a pick and play for a moderate period of time.  I played with this pick for two hours, with NO pain in my hand.  The pick actually made my playing smoother, more accurate and faster.  I don't quite understand how a pick can do all of this, but THIS ONE DOES.  I just ordered two more.

Nice pick.  I like the texture and grip.  Ultex is supposed to mimic the characteristics of tortoise shell.  It feels "just right"  Though, the Jazz III is rather small: about 2/3 the size of most guitar picks.  (See photo.  Jazz III is on the left. There is no indication of actual size on Amazon or Dunlop websites.)  It is okay for me, playing slow jazz on stiff chrome strings.  Next time, I will get the "XL" version, and probably give them 5 stars.

As I developed my own acoustic playing style I discovered that I don't like to use a flat pick for strumming; I really prefer the control and tone I get by strumming with my index fingernail.  This puts a strain on the nail that is unacceptable.  I don't wish to strengthen the nail with any form of glue or hardener- so I began to experiment with various picks.  The best result was with the Large Alaska Pick which I now use regularly.  The tone is very similar to my nail, but it's the pick that takes the beating.  I have been known to break these picks by laying into the strings too hard- but for songs that aren't too loud/aggressive this pick gives me everything I want.  I do not use this pick for finger style.
