Great grip, but not too annoying. Tip is NOT rough!
Normally, I don't like the classic Jazz III, becuase you have to "break" them in. They tend to be slightly rough (imo), right off the assembly line. They are also a bit slippery. These weren't like that for some reason. Super-fast and smooth, right from the get-go. Texture, is nearly perfect!! Like fine grain sand, but not TOO severe to where it's more of an irritant. These are GOOD!! Great price too!

Durable, excellent grip, great sound.
These picks have become my favorite picks for combo strumming and single note picking. They are very easy to hold, and I rarely have to readjust my grip when playing with them, unlike virtually every other pick I've ever used.They are very durable. I play heavy gauge (size 14 - 60) steel string acoustic heavily. With most picks, I have to replace them anywhere between 1 week to 1 month, depending upon the pick material and thickness.However with these picks, I've been using them for almost 6 months, and just recently, I had to replace only 1 of the thin versions of this pick, which is even more impressive considering that I'm a "hard and fast" strummer.By contrast, although I love the sound and feel of the Fender thin picks, I can't afford to use them because they crack on me within a day or two.However, these Dunlop nylon picks have never cracked on me after 6 months of regular use. The only reason I replaced one of the thin nylon picks after 6 months is because the point started going dull, and I like it sharper.All in all, these picks have the best combination of value, tactile feel, and sound quality of any pick I've ever used.

Should have used these years ago
1/3 smaller than a standard Dunlop pick. Never knew I needed this size. Feels like I have been trying to run on the track in street shoes and now I finally have the track shoes. Smaller size definitely feels like there is less tension in my pick hand. The texture grip works fantastic. Zero slip.

Solid picks.
These are my second best choice! They last forever unless your puppy gets a hold of it.I just prefer the non grip ones so I can move the pick around in my hand but both have been a game changer. Although these took some getting use to especially if you've used traditional picks for a long time.

Highly recommend
Smaller than most picks but the grip on these is insane. These picks come with grooves on the end that allows your finger to grip with ease. I do not have to worry about them slipping at all, would definitely buy again if I ever run out.

My favorite picks
In the six years I've been playing guitar, I've tried picks ranging from .4mm to 1.5mm, made of everything from Tortex to Nylon to Acetal to gift cards that I've cut up with scissors. I've tried other specialty picks, like the Davas, Star Grips, and those giant triangle ones. For me personally, nothing comes close to the Jazz III Max Grip picks. I repeat: Nothing. Comes. Close.To let you know where I'm coming from, I primarily play metal, psychedelic rock, and punk. That means I'm doing a lot of single-note picking. The grip on these picks keeps them from slipping or sliding in the slightest between my fingers, and the fine tips both allow and encourage precise note articulation. The steep angle of the tip lets the pick slide through the individual strings like a warm knife through butter, and the lack of bulk decreases the chance of hitting unwanted strings. As a result, riffs and leads come out much more cleanly and easily. I also found that the grip is a life-saver when I'm rapidly downstroking power chords, (i.e. playing literally any punk song ever written). The relentless bashing into the strings tends to shift most picks around in my hand, so after a measure or two of sixteenth notes the pick might be completely sideways. That's never been a problem with these guys. Like I said earlier, these things do not slip at all. As soon as you put one of these little bastards between your fingers, you'll know that it's not going anywhere.So yeah, I love these things. They're the bee's knees.Side note: If you decide to go to your local guitar shop to buy these, MAKE SURE THAT YOU BUY THE "MAX GRIP" VERSION! The standard Jazz III picks look almost identical, but they lack the little grip-bumps and they feel like they're made out of a completely different material... they're smooth, shiny, and, in my experience, slip all over the place. Honestly, the difference is night and day, so be sure you're getting the Max Grips.I hope I was able to accurately convey my enthusiasm for these guys. I truly believe that if just one person tries these out after having read this review, I will have made the music world a better place.
