That's so funny- I just noticed the new ones get rougher quicker/seem more brittle/snappy than the old ones.
Might stick with Gator Grips or Ernie Ball Everlasts (which also changed but it think it's only color.)

Amazon does sell knockoffs. I don't mean from third party sellers either. Amazon commits blatant fraud all the time. I ordered Schaller strap locks and got clearly inferior locks stamped "made in China" that rattled like hell because the pieces didn't fit together properly.
I posted a review saying Amazon was selling knockoffs but they quickly deleted it. Shady company.

If you want grip, try V-Picks. Been using them for about three years now, and I haven't dropped one yet.

I use 88MM Cat Tongues by Cool Picks. They really DO feel as rough as a cat's tongue. I have arthritis and my hands are getting dry. These are just the thing to keep the picks grippy.

So... Guitar Center Dunlop Gels will still be grippy, and these are probably counterfeit?

Not really a dropping issue... they're just, uh, slower??? Somehow. Keeping a firm precise attack is noticeably more difficult, requires a firmer stiffer hold or something,
OK-ish for 10's on 25.5, but harder to be accurate with on 11's with 24.75". Just gradually wiggles out of position i guess?

Hmm - Maybe mine are fake, had one snap down the middle after a week and that hasn't happened before.

That blows wide-open ass. I wonder how much business they do in counterfeit merchandise.

When the market dropped 550 pts last week, they said Bezos lost 7.5 BILLION. Of course, he didnt really lose a nickel. The evil empire, I actually like ebay way more. I have gotten some killer deals on it

Amazon Dunlops as well?
Did they come in a plastic baggie or in one of those snap-shut clear plastic box thingies that looks like "frustration packaging", but opens and shuts properly? I *think* the good old ones mightve been in a box, new ones were in a sealed plastic baggie
