Bigger than the Jazz 3. More like jazz 3 XL. But I love the material and the pick is 2mm thick which is awesome.

Beyond a critical point within a finite space, freedom diminishes as numbers increase. This is as true of humans as it is of gas molecules in a sealed flask. The human question is not how many can possibly survive within the system, but what kind of existence is possible for those who so survive.

Depends if you’re prepared to take someone’s eye out?

Video or it didn't happen. ;-) Seriously though, what about it made the difference? How's it different to a regular Dunlop of the same weight?

Just recently I started turning my pick and using the larger corners for faster passages and it seemed to make a positive difference. After years on the same green Dunlops I'm starting to wonder if I should investigate something else. Also, I bend my picks up around my thumb. Can't use a flat one at all. That's part of what I like about the Dunlops. They'll hold the shape I bend them into.

I think it’s the mass that makes a difference. I used to use v-picks for the same reason, and that was great for speed. And when I talk about speed I really mean synchronisation. But the v-pick have an annoying chirping sound which I didn’t like. The hawks have a normal and good tone.
