JIM DUNLOPZ9002M20 Zookies™ Thumbpicks, White, Medium 20⁰, 12/Bag

There are numerous different styles and shapes of thumb picks available. I really like these Zookies with the offset for banjo and dobro. The offset and twist seem to allow me to get a nice attack more easily than traditional thumb picks. They’re also pretty easy to size and keep their shape as well as any other plastic pick I’ve tried.

Comfortable and durable. The twist gives less string buzz. This is my go too pick for my 5-String banjo.

A little hot water and some shaping and ... I'm impressed. I have my right hand at, what still feels like, an odd angle. The twist in the pick eases the discomfort as I adjust. Who'd a thunk it!!!

Excellente muy util

I would've given these a 5 because the idea in essence is great & was exactly what I was looking for. Plus the picks themselves are really tough (I think made from a cellulose of some kind as they smelt like the inside of ping pong balls when I sanded one down) But be warned... if you're the kind of player that likes to really 'dig in' with a thumb pick, because instead of having a gradual smooth twist of angle these have a moulded step where they twist, and i found that that was getting snagged on the strings at times instead of sliding off them. No problem if you only use the tip section, but as I say if you dig in deep sometimes then this is a very annoying thing!As it goes I wrote to Dunlop about it thinking to offer some constructive customer feedback, but aside from offering to send me a complimentary pack of picks, they weren't terribly interested.
