D'Addario Black Ice Guitar Picks, 100 pack, Extra-Heavy

I have a tool that allows me to make my own picks. I do not use it very much unless a friend wants a hand full of small picks, at no cost. These picks have the same issue. They are very small, a little slippery and in between a standard medium and a stiff. I ordered a pick holder from Amazon, so I think these will come in handy when I need a pick a tad bit stiffer then a standard medium.

Slightly larger than a Dunlop Jazz iii but smaller than a Dunlop Jazz iii XL. Brighter than both a nylon Dunlop Jazz iii and a tortex Jazz iii. I would also say that the Black Ice pick 1.10mm feels stiffer than the Dunlop Jazz iii 1.14mm tortex. It's like getting the stiffness and resistance of a larger pick in a slimmer form. The tip is as good as the other brands allowing for excellent precision. [Duralin (also known as Acetyl or Delrin) is a unique material with an extraordinary combination of strength, stiffness, dimensional stability, fatigue resistance, and low friction.] - D'Addario.

If you like a lot of control with you playing, these are great. Work perfect with my 7 string even with heavier gauge strings. Have been using only these picks since 2013.

I used Jazz III picks for years. I got one of these picks in a Dunlop variety pack and loved it. I am still using this bag of picks today. They are very durable. The grip is really good as well. The heat from your hand makes them stick in place, even with sweaty hands under the stage lights. They have an almost satin feel to them that I really like as well.

I like the feel of these picks, just wish they were a little bit bigger

I love these picks. Great tone and good grip.

I've used Tortex .73 for the last 10 years. Out of boredom I started experimenting with thicknesses and sizes of the large collection of picks I found at gigs or came in cases of used guitars I've bought. I landed on the T3 .88. It took some adjustment to the pointy tip but once I did it made a very noticeable difference in my speed and precision. I still couldn't mesh with the .88. Well one of these Black Ice was in the pile and it had a .80 printed on it. I'm sold. This is the one. I've been using it for a few weeks and it has the right attack and bite without being flimsy. I just wish they would make one in the shape of a little tree so I could hang it from my car mirror.

These last longer than any pick I've ever used.
