From V-Pick: Fast and articulate. Good for all kinds of music; acoustic and electric guitar or mandolin. Great for sweep picking. Strong, bright mid-range. One of our most popular and most versatile picks. A great place to start if you are new to V-Picks. Will not slip in your hand...it has the fantastic V-Pick "grippage due to our own special blend of acrylic!" Walter Becker of Steely Dan plays the Medium Pointed V-Pick and so does Stu Hamm.
