    So after trying serval pick versions over the years and playing many live gigs I’ve found:

    - Jazz iii shape is my favorite and the small pick size with pointed tip gives me the most picking accuracy, stability, and least likelihood of losing grip.
    - The max grip is the least likely to fly out of my grip
    - The red ones are easiest to see

    ……so……after finding the right shape for my style, all other concerns are around if I’ll lose grip and how easy it is to see on a stage.

      As a long-time Jazz III guy, I switched to the Ernie Ball Prodigy 2 mm in the small Jazz-ish size (they're actually a bit smaller than the normal Jazz III), and I can't imagine ever using anything else. They sound great, something about their texture makes them easier to grip despite being smaller, being smaller gives them even better control and pinch harmonics, and the bevel makes them super-fast.

        I used those for awhile but found they wear too fast. I'd manage to round the edge off after an hour or two of playing and the difference was noticeable. I really liked them when fresh but got tired of constantly swapping picks.

        I'm using the carbon fiber Jazz 3s now. I don't like them as much but they last forever so it's one less thing to worry about. If they made a carbon fiber in the prodigy shape (particularly the bevel), I'd absolutely buy that instead.

          I noticed on my Jazz IIIs, I don't like any raised writing or ridges or anything like that.

            I am a sweaty guy, so the more grip that I can get on the pick the better - it usually translates into me being able to keep a lighter hold on the pick which lets me relax and play faster.

              I discovered this beauty the other day, an Ibanez Paul Gilbert pick. Really enjoying it!

                    Me too. Many people equate the max-grip to gripping, but it's more about not gripping.

                      I use a Jazz III Tortex .88. I switched from the standard Tortex .88 about 6 years ago and noticed my rhythm playing got much tighter. I cant even go back to standard picks anymore.

                          How does that even happen? None of my picks have ever had beat down like that

                            Not really sure. I may have gotten it in a 90s concert after it being stomped on.
