I am neither endorsing nor damning, just thought they looked a little wild

They're nice as objets d'art, but look way too thick to use comfortably.

And I have to say they desperately need a new "hand model" for their picture gallery.  :|

Well IŽd be tempted to try one. Might do if I have some extra money around at the end of the month.
Though probably less likely one from the top of the page but from the lower ones like the PHD Flat Attack. I do like 2-3mm mostly (have thicker and thinner ones I use too) pics and always like to try new ones.

I love the dunlop usa 2mm gator plectrums and keep trying new things but nothing comes close for me personally I love the glow in the dark idea though!

Youve inspired to take another look for plectrums bringing this up and I found this which looks interesting to me

I have one like that already. V pick does those too http://v-picks.com/picks.php
I like that it is pretty small and thick. Also dig their thin ones, really cool for acoustic. Even the Snake and other really thick ones have their appeal from them.
Mostly I like the material though. When it warms in your hand it does not get sticky, but does not splip anymore. Very cool feeling.

Nice to look at but not for me either. The last few years I've been using Dava picks with the rubberised grip for great feel and control and their nickel silver tipped ones for extra thump and clang with palm muted chugging .

I use Dunlop Jazz III Max Grip Carbon picks. They're tiny and took a bit of getting used to but they  last well, I never feel like they'll lose grip and I wouldn't use anything else now.

I use the same.  I like the stiff material without the thickness.  Much better than the nylon version

First person I've come across who uses the same pick  :D

I like them for much the same reasons. I always used to use 1.5mm Gator Grips but they wore out in no time at all so I had to change. These carbon Jazz III picks are just as stiff while being both thinner and grippier. I find standard sized picks to feel quite cumbersome in comparison now. I couldn't see myself using those pictured at the start of this thread.
