These are my favorite picks ever. I have tried dozens upon dozens of different picks and these take the cake for me. The width feels great between my fingers, the size makes it easy to handle, and the stiffness gives great control. I found the sizes smaller were a little to soft for me and the sizes larger were just a bit stiff. I feel like Goldilocks. Compared against the cheep classic picks, Fender, etc, these are awesome. They hold up a lot better and soft better in my opinion. Compared against Tortex the sound and feel are a wash but these last much longer. Anyway, everyone has their own preference and these are mine.
