I want to get some of your picks, but I'm still confused on which to get.
I use conventional shaped Tortex between .88 and 2mm. Which of yours will I be most comfortable with?

Not a comment about Vinni's picks, but pics in general. I've never seen so much interest in a pick and never realized the importance put in a pick.
My friends say I use too thin of a pick (my favorite is Snarling Dog Brain Picks .060). What makes these V picks so special. Even reading the entire thread I am not getting any "wow" factor from what I read. Can someone be a little more detailed in what are the positive points about this pick?

Hey, Strum!
In a "nutshell", consensus is that the picks allow you to play faster and to get a bigger tone. This is said to be because of the design and materials. Reading comments in a number of threads on other forums, a lot of people are like "man, this thing is too darn thick for me to play with" and once they give it a chance after just a few minutes, most players feel right at home with it.
You're right...I, too, have never seen such a fuss made over something as simple as a pick before. They are pretty cool, though, and deserve all of the respect they get for what they do.

I like to start folks off with the Medium V-Pick Rounded 2.55mm. It really is our flagship model. It is what V-Picks are all about. It demonstrates all the claims that V-Picks boast, like bigger tone, faster playing and gripping feel.Originally Posted by Spudman
I also have just added a new deal package called the Fab Four. It is made up of my best V-Picks. The biggest sellers. They are all molded picks that we painstakingly go over with a razor blade (literally) before they leave this door to make sure you get a premium playing and sounding pick that you won't soon forget.
My personal favorite V-Pick is the Large Rounded. Carlos Santana's favorite is the Freakishly Large Rounded. Paul Reed Smith likes the Large Lites.
Thanks for the question Spudman. If you have any more questions, you can call me at 209 324 1788 anytime.
