I wasn't sure if this is where I should post this.but here goes.
I started using Dunlop Ultex picks when they first came out and not ever changing from them,but even with my maximum grip using thumb and index finger to hold pick I have noticed I can't keep these Ultex picks from sliding around while playing,so I have done some experimenting.
I tried filing grooves,drilling holes etc and nothing helped,so I remembered my old skateboard from 35+ years ago had black grip tape on the top of the board,so I decided to look into the grip tape online,and found it cheap on Ebay for a big roll of it
When the grip tape arrived I put my pick on the back peel off part and outlined it,cut it out and then kept about 5/8 of it towards the top section,peeled backing tape off and stuck to top of pick. .use grip tape side for my thumb.
It worked perfectly..no more slipping at all and the good thing is the size of grip tape can be made to whatever or however much I need,so if you have tried lots of other things to keep your pick from moving around in between your fingers try some Skate board Grip Tape..also if you put the tape on both sides it actually has too much grip,so use as needed.
