Whoa! Wait a minute. Forget the picks. The last time I ordered from Sweetwater, I only got four peppermint candies and the Smarties. I did get two Bit-O-Honeys, though. Never mind.
Now, on a mandolin item: Is "grippy" a technical term? Everyone seems to be using it. Are there degrees of grippiness? If so, how do you measure it? Do you count the number of times you almost drop the pick while doing a 4 minute tremelo or something like that? Just wondering.
