The latest design with the grip pimples are great so you may not drop them as often as smooth ones. The nylon has its own sound compared to other styles of pick and to me these give the best balance. I use the .88 or 1 for the electric and a .73 on Acoustic and sometimes electric, my advice is to try the 3 mentioned thicknesses and go from there.

Overall nice picks with great grip
The choice of a pick is very subjective. For my personal taste these picks are too big, thin and flabby. It can be great for strumming on a acoustic, but I didn't find any other application for them. Doesn't make them bad picks, of course. The quality is standard Dunlop, the grip is fantastic. But they are nothing like Jazz III.

Good grip
I play various acoustic instruments including a Lowden LSE II, a Baby Taylor and a Bazouki. I've used Jim Dunlop plectrums for years and I assumed these would be the same, but the grip is better.
This is a big advantage when it comes to playing live in a sweaty bar. Smooth plecs just end up sliding out of my fingers, and even the raised surface of the Jim Dunlops were beginning to give me problems. The max grip though is more spiky.
A couple of slight disadvantages to the spikiness.
1/ When you squeeze them into a plectrum holder they can be difficult to get out as they grip each other.
2/ If you brush the strings with the spikes, they catch the strings, resulting in unwelcome noises and lack of control.
The thickness and bendiness are perfect for me. I've just switched from the .88's to the .73's to give a slightly gentler sound and more speed. I use the .60's for electric.

You cant go back to non-grip pick after this
This is the only pick i play now and all other picks seems slippery and non-gripping.
I find my picking hand is much for relaxed now when i dont have to hold on to the pick for dear life and instead can focus on playing; knowing the pick wont slip.
A bit pricey for small pieces of plastic, but, its the best so what can you do?

Very good value, works well
textured surface ensures good grip of the pick. bought as a set you are never without a pick, if you lose one than you have more in hand.

Very grippy
If you drop your pick or find it sliding or rotating in your grip then buy these. The grip is like sandpaper and very easy to hold.
Good quality nylon pick, lovely thickness can pick and strum easily.
Durable and sound good.
I prefer the bright colours of the tortex but apart from that no complaints.

I won't go to any other pick after this one!
I was skeptical about buying these picks as i didn't think they could do what they claimed to but once they arrived, I happily admitted i was wrong. Very wrong!
I use them mainly for strumming but the 1.0 gauge is also great for solos.
In short, these picks rock. I tend to sweat heavily onstage and I was forever dropping picks when playing. Since using these, I may drop one in an hour set but even that is rare. These stick to your fingers like a drummer to a free bar.
If you're wondering what picks to buy, try these. I'll never play another type of pick.

Perfect for slow and smooth player
If you play light stuff - it's great fit for you. Even if you have wet fingers - it's not a problem to take it even at the super-solo periods. One thing: you can't find them if it falls down on the dark floor.

The pick I was looking for
Me and picks don't get along very well. They always slip out of my fingers, rotate etc..
Not these. However, I think I'd be buying thicker ones of these. I judged the thickness I was comfortable with of a couple of tortoise picks I have, which were 0.73. Tortoise is not as flexible though so when these arrived they felt a bit too soft for my liking. A Dunlop Max Grip of 1.0 would probably suit me better, but that's personal. Try them out. I don't think these will slip out of your grasp as easy as others, and if that's what you suffer from, then these are probably a good bet.
