Dunlop Flow Jumbo Grip 4.20mm Guitar Picks

I'd like to give a description for those who felt as I did before trying these.Prior to giving these a shot (out of curiousity) the thickest picks in my stable were 1.1mm D'addario black ice, and my favorite picks were the smaller 0.8mm from the same brand.My thinking was: how could a 4.2mm pick be good in any way? Well, it's all about the edge bevel they put on it. That bevel has the precision of a smaller pick, but it also provides a sort of energy to your picking hand such that it assists in "bouncing" to the next note. It's hard to describe - but it has a very different feel from what I anticipated.Pros:- material is very hard and feels durable. I have a LOT of picks that are worn down to an oblong circle shape, this is a lot harder- how they change your playing as described poorly above. This is the biggest delight and I encourage anyone to give them a shot based on this- texture provides adequate grip, no complaints- (listed as both a con and a pro depending on your perspective): sound with these is a bit brighter, with more clarityCons / gripes:- they could have made this a triangle pick in a similar size pretty easily.- (listed as both a con and a pro depending on your perspective): sound with these is a bit brighter, with more clarity- It's a pretty expensive piece of plastic really

I’ve been playing guitar for 19 years. This has got to be the most comfortable pick I’ve ever used. I always relied on the smaller yellow tortex picks for most of those years, but recently I decided to try a thicker pick and all I can say is WOW. I don’t even need to try, my thumb and first finger just naturally rest on the grip and keep it stable with almost zero effort. If you like a chunkier and rounded sound, definitely would suggest these. Works especially well for speed, and pinches have never been so easy.I never review anything but this pick deserves high praise.

I really love these new JD FLOW 420 picks!I found one of these on the NAMM 2019 BOSS booth showroom floor after Andy James played and dropped one.At first I thought it was thick and clunky but it became my go to pick and I really love to use it for single note scales and rhythm chugging.It's a fatty pick so it definitely is not for the heavy handed or for aggressive punk strumming unless using higher gauge strings and lighter strum technique.I tried the Flow 2.0 first and it just didn't have the same contour so I provided a picture of both side by side.(LEFT - FLOW 2.0, RIGHT - FLOW 4.20)The FLOW 4.20 Jumbo Grip provides a real nice thickness, a textured grip to hold the pick and the contour makes it great for scales and picking articulation for runs and artificial pinch harmonics etc. Reminds me of the old 90's Stylus training picks but more modern.A year later at 2020 NAMM I spoke with Andy James and told him my story about finding the pick and really digging it, he mentioned that he and John Petrucci helped design the pick together for JD =).Only CON is they're expensive so don't lose them!!

I've been playing on 2mm graphite picks for years. I love a thick pick with a quiet attack, but the standard pick shape creates inefficiencies in my playing. This pick, due to its extreme thickness, shape, and contouring, is the best playing and most versatile pick for the way I play (constantly changing techniques). The beveling is equal on both sides; steep and gradual, creating a dull but articulate "axe" edge perfectly centered at 2.1mm in from the gripping surfaces. This edge is thin enough to get a "thin pick" attack without much effort, but the convex bevel makes it easy to get any other attack you desire. The only kind of attack you can't get out of this pick is the scratchy clack of a thin pick playing rhythm-- when you attack like that with this pick you just get the sound of the strings, not the sound of a pick, which I think makes this pick better. I hate hearing the pick, I just want to hear the strings.My only complaint is that the pick material, Ultex, is too resonant during the attack. I hate pick "chirp" and this pick does produce more chirp than I'd like, but there are ways of changing my attack to minimize it. I would love to have a pick like this in Delrin or Acetal. Until Dunlop offers this pick in a different material, I'll probably just be copying it's shape using the thickest buttons I can find in my mom's button collection.

This pick is great for anyone with death grip syndrome with normal picks. I can still shred fast 200 BPM 16th note lines, but it subconsciously makes me loosen my pick grip.Great for practice, wouldn't perform or record with it though.

Slides right off the strings, nice loud sound ,worth the money.

Heavy duty great on bass. Comfortable no slip grip. I give it a 10 out of 10

The thickness of these picks is perfect for me currently. I have pretty severe nerve damage on my picking hand/arm and can’t hold a standard pick due to the lack of grip strength. These allow me to have a much more relaxed grip, also allowing for a faster picking style as well. Comfort is everything for me these days, and this helps me enjoy playing guitar again.I’ve been using one of them for several weeks now and have very minimal wear. You’d likely lose this pick before it wore out. You can also make pretty great pinch harmonics with this pick as well. Definitely recommend if you’re looking to preserve your picking hand.
