These picks are great! I mean, preference is going to vary from player to player, but these .50 (in Red) and the .60 (in Orange) are good for my style of playing. These are the two sizes I use so I won't speak for any of the other sizes.WHAT I LIKE ABOUT THEM:WEIGHT AND THICKNESS - The .50 and .60 are not too heavy and stiff, however, if you hold them just right, they can be played like a much heavier pick. I tend to use the .60 for electric (leads, legato, sweep-picking, etc). The .50 works great for acoustic (when I'm mostly strumming).MATERIAL - The TORTEX material has a nice feel to it, and I don't find myself dropping picks unless I'm really being careless or playing sloppy. Also, it's worth noting that these picks do not break easily like the average celluloid pick, for instance, when you're madly flailing away at a really heavy rhythm.SHAPE - I really wish these came in sharps, but as of the time of this writing I have not been able to find any. It's not a big enough problem to dock any stars (in my opinion) but a 'pointy-er' tip would be nice.OTHER NOTES - Some of the 1-star reviewers seem to complain that the ink printed on the picks wears off too fast. Well, of course it does! When you apply heat/pressure/friction to something, certain results can be expected. Of course, there are other picks out there that maintain their printing a little better. Seriously, folks, who cares? THE PICK DOES NOT SOUND ANY DIFFERENT AFTER THE INK WEARS OFF! I feel this is a really moot point and I'd rather complain about something that actually matters (seriously, I could not care less about the ink).Also, I do not feel that it changes the grip, although I will agree with some reviewers that these pick can get a little slippery from time to time, especially when strumming. Once again, however, part of this has to do with my playing style and not being mindful of my picking hand. I don't necessarily blame the tool itself for my own lack of discipline/concentration. There are picks out there that do have better grip, for example the Dunlop Ultrex material pick (which do come in sharps and I love those picks as well!), however, I find that I break a lot of Ultrex picks, and much more easily (even the .73's/heavy strumming will do that). Since it is pretty hard to play with a broken pick, I tend to lean towards the Tortex material a little more often. The Tortex are about the closest thing to indestructible that I've played thus far. Once again, it's nothing more than a matter of personal preference.FINAL WORDS - Anyone who uses a pick to play will invariably spend a great deal of time trying out different picks. There are so many shapes, sizes, materials, etc. from which to choose. Some folks won't be too wild about these, that's okay. Personally, these are very comfortable for me and fit my playing style well.These are the picks I look for when I got to the store to buy picks. You can choose any pick you want or no pick at all for that matter. For the price paid, I do not think anyone would regret buying these picks, even if only just to try them out. Happy customer right here!Hope someone finds this useful.

Bought these for my father who recently started playing the mountain dulcimer. The surface has a micro-texture that makes these easy to hang onto. I've used them for years.

The picks are high quality and don’t split after some use. You also don’t see residue plastics from heavy use that can reduce string life!

Just explore the different thicknesses to find the best sound for your strumming, picking, 6 or 12 string guitars. THEY DON'T TEAR!! Great picks!

Found these pics a few years back. They are firm enough to play single string and flexible enough to strum. I find it a great versatile pic for just about anything.

Picks holding up we'll great for strumming couldn't ask for better 👍

I have a small fortune in a pile of picks I've bought and tried and never completely satisfied. The first time I tried these picks I knew my search was over. They are just right and is anyone interested in a bag of assorted Guitar Picks? LOL! Great job Jim! Keep up the good work.

Perfectas!!! El guitarrista de INSITE siempre hablaba de ellas, las encontré, pedi y ahora entiendo porque las recomendaba tanto!!!

Nice and useful

I like the flex on these and they last and last. Others break

Very durable but maintains some flex

Well made, durable and lasting this 0.60mm pick is my favorite for plectrum style acoustic guitar. Appears to be genuine Dunlop product in authentic package.
