Well they look really nice and 1.5mm is a great thickness.

They are sensibly priced and of good quality, so a great alternative to the larger Jazz III style plectrum. Plus, you support a much smaller business if you purchase some.

They look like they might be a rather good alternative to Dunlops larger jazz III picks, unfortunately I can’t get on with the larger picks, so hopefully they are planning some regular jazz III sized picks.

Yeah, that would make a lot of sense, as lots of people use the standard Jazz III size.

Nice review! I really like them - for me I'm uncertain whether they'll replace the Ultex Jazz III XL, but it's a really close call. They both do things the other one can't and I'm still flipping between the two.

Certainly a good pick to have around, and one for my personal arsenal of plectrums!

They are very good and if you check my blog later this week, I'll be giving some assorted packs away for free.

They arrived and I wanted to do a quick review.

Obviously this is totally subjective and there is a reason why Dunlop do hundreds of types of picks. 

I bought some standard 1mm and some premium polycarbonate 2mm 

Impressions are that the quality is very good.
They are quite stiff I would say somewhere between Tortex and Ultex 

They are somewhat similar in shape to Dunlop Flow picks in size and shape with a slightly sharper tip (although not as extreme as an ultex sharp). They are extremely grippy, the premium are very nice indeed somewhat similar to something like a John Petrucci sig flow pick.

I think they do some Jazz III size as well that I haven't tried as I've got buckets of them.

In summary well worth a go and by no means a "Cheap alternative" to Dunlop picks.

Shame they don't offer a grab bag with one of each pick in it as a tester....the dunlop Petrucci Jazz III is my goto( i have a few Dava & swiss picks i like that i keep at hand)

I do like the look of the Precision Pick MINI but im not sure if i'll get on with the nylon after using the Ultex Jp's for some long.
