V-Picks Switchblade, Tradition & Medium Pointed demo

I bought a few new picks and thought I'd record a comparison:

I got a couple of samples from them and they cracked and fell apart within 20 minutes. I liked them while they lasted though!!

Holy crap. How hard do you play. I was using 13s on my guitar, and I beat the Hell out of my guitars/strings. Vpicks were the only picks that would last a night.

Seriously! Are your hands actually mechanical vices that just keep compressing? Damn dude.

I have a Snake that was the original V-pick I fell in love with, and that thing has over a year of use and it is the same as it was when I bought it. I do pick lighter than most players though, but regardless when I used to use the Big Stubbies, those only lasted a month or less before they were junk.

I have many different V picks I've gotten from Vinnie and never had a problem with a single one. Other guitarist in my band uses them also... No problems. I'd have to say if you bought the picks brand new, I'm sure he would replace any defective picks without question. I must pick light compared to some guys? I've had some of the same picks for 15-20 years! Lol

I play pretty hard. But I also use thinner pics. .73-.88mm. I guess the material they use is too brittle for heavy picking with thinner pics . I wear Tortex down to a nub in like a week BTW
