This thickness makes the Psycho easy to hold on to because you can keep your hand relaxed and in a more natural position…..plus the mass hitting the string creates a lot of energy and produces much more sound and much better sound. More volume with less effort. Like all the V-Picks, the Psycho warms into your hand and clings to your skin without feeling sticky at all. Sweaty hands and dropped picks? Not with the Psycho V-Pick. It stays where you put it in your hand. Sharp edge. Slightly pointed. Oh, and this thing makes a FANTASTIC bass pick too! Please note that STU HAMM and BILLY SHEEHAN both play and endorse the V-Pick Psycho!!!
