A Pick Grip That Works

A Pick Grip That Works

Sorry about the crappy image, my camera is old.

Over the years I’ve tried just about every pick grip product available. This includes all the gimmicky picks that were manufactured with some sort of no-slip grip built into them and never found one that worked. There was one add-on gripper that sort of worked but within a few minutes of playing it was rolling up under my thumb, so I quit trying that shit. Then I stumbled on something that caught my attention: “Monster Grips”. I almost didn’t check it out but my curiosity got the better of me and I’m glad it did. I can’t say enough about these little gems. They actually perform as advertised, which is pretty refreshing in itself. For some reason I developed a really light grip and found myself dropping picks a lot. I tried to grip tighter but unless I concentrated on my grip I would revert back to a light grip and away goes my pick. That’s why I’ve tried so many products like this. These were priced at under $10 for 16 pads so i figured “WTF” lets try em.  To sum up my opinion: they simply work. What else is there to know? They are so freakin’ thin you hardly even feel them, but they grip like nothing I’ve ever seen. They don’t roll up around the edges and there is no sticky residue at all. Amazing. I put them on both sides of the pick just to be safe but I ‘m not sure that’s necessary so I’m going to try one sided to see what happens. I also noticed they give me better control of the pick and I really like that too. And when you stop playing you can just slap the pick to your guitar so you don’t misplace it like I do on a daily basis.Somebody was thinkin’ when they came up with these little beauties. Try some and you won’t regret it, I guarantee you that. There’s a link below.
