    They are definitely worth a try, I tell ya.
    But is it your 'go to' pick? Do you use it more than not use it?

    Uh, --- on my way to the weekly jam, five miles from home, I realize I left my V-Picks at home. Yup, I go back

    Bruce wrote a song about that didn't he Doug? Glory Days?

    When I told Vinni I liked using some of the really fat picks he made me up a really hefty one just to bust my nuts. After I get someone to help me lift it up it actually plays pretty well.

    I've grown to love the Screamer for my acoustic too, the people who I have introduced to the v-picks bring it up very often, that they never use anything else now.

    I like the sound of the Ultex but the size is difficult for me to hang on to. Do you have that problem?

    I've been using a Medium Pointed Pearly Gates V Pick for a month now. This plastic seems to have a bit of a softer attack and a little more slip over the strings than the standard acrylic. I like it just because it's a bit different I guess. I use it a lot and like it.
