Flow Picks add thickness and volume to each note you play while allowing every pick-stroke to fall smoothly and effortlessly from your strings. Thanks to our highly toneful and durable Ultex material, Flow Picks project rich, powerful overtones, and their uniform bevel makes playing a breeze. A low-profile grip provides just the right amount of control without getting in the way.

Mark Tremonti purchased every pick he could find from sweetwater while he was off tour from Alter Bridge because he didn't like any of the picks companies made. He was using the same picks I was using the dunlop black ice but he wasn't that happy with them. Neither was I but there were better than anything else I could find.AT the end of his test he chose the Jim Dunlop Flow Standard. I bought a pack because who doesn't like Marks playing right? I was astounded at how great these picks are. They have all the control of a Jazz 3 but are not so small you loose them in the shred. They are the perfect size made of the perfect material with crazy raised lettering that produce more grip than anything I've ever tried. Standard picks are slightly to large and Jazz 3 picks are slightly too small. This is the happy medium between the 2. BEST PICKS EVER!

Great quality pic without the John Petrucci logo so therefore much cheaper and the grip is much better.

Choose your preferred thickness, but these are definitely the best ones I ever tried anyway. I play everything from death metal to bach and sometimes I use a pick, if I am out of these I am sad. It WILL change the way you use a pick, but trust me, it's way better once you get used to them. Dunlop has another slightly less pointy Ultex one that I like too, but this one has all the texture control you can dream of in your picking, 0.88 and 0.73 are the ones I use. This is all my opinion of course, I think pick choice is probably one of those personal preference things, they are all basically the same.

As paletas da Jim Dunlop para mim são as melhores.Várias opções de materiais, formatos e espessura.

Everything about this pick is perfect for me! There is just enough grip to it without being too much, and feeling like sand paper. It's made of ultex which I had been using anyway. I prefer the sharper, brighter attack to tolex. And the beveled edges release the string perfectly. Really the ultimate pick. A bit pricey, and I am super bad at losing picks and so is my 2 yr old daughter. But I've been extra careful not to lose any yet... but you pay get what you pay for with Dunlop! Excellent picks!!

Longtime Tortex-III user but these ruined all other picks for me. Durable, articulate, and comfortable. I like them anywhere from .88-1.14mm for electric. Took a minute to get used to the shape but they're great!

It's a decent pick, I like the material and feel, the only issue I have is the grip just isn't there, better than a smooth pick, but I was trying to find something that had more grip than the turtle picks I have been using forever. With dry fingers it's fine, but after you start playing and you get surface sweat on your fingers, the pick will start to slide a bit. The other issue is because of the grip, when you try to re adjust the pick, it will grip to your pointer finger not allowing you to re grip without using your other hand. If they carried the grip further out than just the middle, they would have nailed this pick and it would be amazing.

My music teacher recommended these to me and I am finding them easy to use, giving a good volume and better tremolo.

I think these picks combine some of the best features of other Dunlop picks and put them into one place. It has the the sharpness of a Jazz III, with a wider angle, bevelled, the slight Primetone grip, and made from the Ultex material.The wide angle of the pick really makes a big difference to the way the pick glides over the strings (hence the name “Flow”) which is especially noticeable when you switch back to a more normal pick. It makes it so that there is less of the pick that gets caught underneath the string, which without a doubt helps with speed and control. The bevelled edges only help with this, and they already feel comfortable like a slightly worn in pick when taken straight out the packet to use. You’d think this would sacrifice the attack you get from the pick, but I find the sharp edge still allows you to get same attack from a Jazz III.Ultex as a material is my current favourite, not only because of the clear tone, but because of how long it lasts. Ultex combined with the bevelled edges, and the sharp tip lasts so much longer than a regular pick, there’s no comparison (at least with the thicker 1.5mm which I purchased). Moreover, it’s worth mentioning that as someone who is not a fan of grip on picks, I find the grip on these is more low-profile and non-sharp feeling, so they’re more than bearable. Personally, after a long session of playing there is a bit of soreness that comes with using them, so I can see why Andy James and John Petrucci took off the grip on their signature versions which I’m curious to try.Overall, these are fantastic picks, and if you’re a fan of picks like the Ultex Sharp and Jazz III, then these are worth trying. Hope this review was helpful.

First, I never write these kind of reviews, and I’m hesitant to write this one as I expect one day I will have a hard time finding these picks and I will be dismayed!Earlier in the Fall, I was turned on to Primetone picks and was blown away. From their grip and feel, to the unique sound they make when they are dropped, a musical tinkle, lively...not plastic and dead. I also found they enhanced my sound with with increased presence and acoustic timbre (even on electric guitar) with varied harmonic complexity based on the thickness of the pick used. Moving from a Dunlop Tortex pick or any faux Tortoise shell pic to Dunlop Primetone is almost like you just changed your strings!Then Primetones became scarce and expensive. Ultimately I had a hard time finding Primetone picks in 1.0mm thickness... having become disenchanted with the sound of other picks, I saw these Dunlop Flow picks, they looked to be a similar material as the Primetones and were affordable available in the 1.0mm thickness, so I figured I would give them a try. So glad I did!The Dunlop Flow 1.0 pick is now my preferred pick for acoustic flat picking (Primetone 1.4mm Jazz for electric, but ordering some Flow 1.4s to hear what they have to offer).One thing I wasn’t expecting was how the unique shape of the standard grip Flow pick (a somewhat larger version of a Jazz III) is forgiving and allows for a variety of expressive picking and strumming attacks that are seemingly enhanced with both clarity and accuracy. Not sure if it relates to my use of the smaller Jazz III shaped Primetone 1.4mm picks for electric, but I do believe the shape of the standard grip Flow 1.0 allows me greater, and more expressive, accuracy.Another bit of anecdotal regarding the Primetone picks. While waiting for these Flow 1.0 picks to arrive I was happy using a standard grip Primetone 1.5 with my acoustic and it has its own thing, the sparkle/shimmer is there but dialed back and tastefully replaced with some additional richness... a deeper/tighter harmonic grind when strumming in comparison to the Flow 1.0... While PT 1.5mm is compelling for certain passages, I find myself reaching for my Flow 1.0 time and again.
