Jim Dunlop Flow® Standard Pick 2.0MM - 6 Pack

If you like 1.5 and 2m picks, this is the best pick. The sound is a bright, I think it comes from the Ultex material, but I've come to like it, especially for articulating a solo and alternate picking. What I like most about it, is how the pick is how it sticks to my fingers. This pick does NOT wobble in my fingers. I'd previously been an Ernie Ball Prodigy picker. I'm the kind of guy that would scratch up the pick to get a better grip. Those days are gone. I'd like to try this same pick with other materials.

My go to pick. Great for alternate picking

Great pick. Pretty much the same as a tonemaster at a much better price. 2.0 is good, but I prefer the 1.5 for all around playing.

I've been looking for a replacement for my favorite old Dunlop picks, which are no longer made, and decided to give these a try. The overall shape and size suits me better than some other thick picks with which I've been experimenting lately. However, I like a bit of brightness with my picks and these don't quite deliver that for me. The edges of the plastic from which these are made feel and sound "soft" on the strings, though this thickness is inflexible. I work with various plastics, so I notice such things. In comparison, I also picked up some Dunlop Jazz III picks at the same time. Those feel good for working on technique, though they're a bit small for my preference playing live, and the material for those feels and sounds better to me. Around the time these arrived I found a Dunlop Big Stubby in 1.0mm, which is actually the closest I have found to the discontinued model I prefer. I'll try those in 2.0 to compare with these; at least I now know the thinner model of those will work for me.

I used the blue Tortex pics for decades. They served me well! These eventually got replaced a few years ago by the Prodigy picks from JD. Back during the holidays, I visited the Guitar Center in my hometown. Someone opened a package of these and mixed them in with the Guitar Center picks in the Acoustic showroom. I tried it and it was an instant hit. Now these are all I play. They're very grippy and they don't wear out fast at all. The 2mm picks are the perfect size for me. I also like how I can play fast (I'm a metal head) and these are accurate enough to help isolate the notes, but not so much to where you hear every single mistake (just most of them.)

My favorite picks. They're thick, but the edges are rounded so I can still work it as if it's a thin pick but can still give it the authority of a heavy pick. They also last much longer than thin picks.

The pick feels good and is a good size. The surface treatment resists slipping. And the pick stays in place. The down side is there is a distinctive “chirp” at the note attack. This is quite audible with clean and overdriven sounds and bothers me enough NOT to use the pick.

Thought they'd be thick, and not glossy. They are slightly both, but they WORK GREAT! Not sure why. I guess picks are very effective specifically to the individual. Not my go-to, but certainly could be my back ups.
