  • Pretty good picks, just not for everyone
Style: Standard Size: 1.5 mm
If you'll allow me, I'm going to compare these to Dunlop jazz III's and their variants since that's all I've used for as long as I can remember.These are high quality picks. You can tell that a lot of input, thought and care went into making these. And that's indicative of Ernie Ball. There's a distinct bevel all the way around the pick. Bear in mind, though, that this is a full sized pick, so the tip won't be quite as pointy as a jazz III but it's close. As a side note, the smaller versions of these picks are the exact dimensions of the original size jazz III, but even then , the tip is still not quite as pointy as a jazz III. We're talking just a hair or two off. But now we're getting pretty picky (pardon the pun). Back to the regular sized picks. The pick is extremely smooth and the material its made of makes for a very dry surface. Since my skin is extremely dry at the fingertips, these picks frequently fly out of my hands and into the black abyss where I can never find them again. I would suggest scrapping them up with a very coarse fingernail file. If you lay the pick flat on the table, it's very slightly more narrow on each side than, say, a standard sized Jazz III XL. I've tried to describe the picks as detailed as possible. While they are excellent picks and might be just right for you, the slight differences in dimension than what I am used and the dryness of the pick cause me to say no. I'll stick with the Dunlop Petrucci Jazz III. ... show more

  • Super-sharp, crisp sounding yet removes string noise.
Style: Standard Size: 2.0 mm
I am still geeking out about these picks. Before, I was using Dunlop Max-Grips. Firstly, before I even plugged one of my guitars in, I noticed that acoustically, it was louder and crisper using the Ernie Ball Prodigy pick. When I plugged it in, I noticed a distinct 'crispness' over my previously beloved picks. On my down-tuned metal machine with super fat strings, these picks make WAY less string noise than my other normal picks, which I find interesting. I have worn out some picks in the past in an hour, but I've put a couple hours on one pick, and so far, I don't see any wear on it. I love these picks. ... show more

  • Love these, but the tips may not last (updated)
Style: Sharp Size: 1.5 mm
Updated... Using Prodigy 1.5 and 2.0 mini (the Jazz III style)... When brand new, these picks are awesome. Razor sharp tip, great sharp-angled bevel around the edge that is AMAZING for aggressive string scraping. The problem is, after using for a few hours, not even playing very hard, the tip wears down quite a bit. If a sharp tip is important to your playing/style, one band practice is about all you'll get out of each pick. They are also quite slippery if your hands sweat. It would be much better if they had a grip like the Dunlop Max-Grip. For the money, it would be better if they held their sharp tip a bit longer. They need to make this model with a good grippy texture, and maybe use Ultex which would last longer. ... show more

  • best chugging pick ever !!
Style: Mini Size: 1.5 mm
i play metal riffs all day.. made my life so much easier.. accurate is the key word !! design has eliminated a lot of the noise caused by unnecessary contact between the pick and the string during fast riffing and chugging.. highly recommended... i have switched over from jazz 3 to the Prodigy after my first try... great job EB !!! ... show more

  • Takes Effort to use, but worth it.
Style: Standard Size: 1.5 mm
Love these. They took some getting used to though, I typically use cheap, plastic, flexible picks that you can really go ham with on the strumming. Between the thickness, the rigidity, and that sharp, hard point, I had to develop a lighter touch with some more finesse, which took some time. It was worth it, these are great once you practice with them and break them in a bit. The accuracy you can get with these is insane but what really sold me was the tone they produce, you can get a really dark, lovely melody with these even unplugged. If I had one complaint it's that when they start to really wear down, they don't grind down evenly, you'll have little bits hanging off of the edges like it's peeling and that seems to mess with my sound a bit. If you're a beginner though, stay away, stick to cheap, soft picks you can get for a dime a dozen until you've got some good strumming technique going for you. ... show more

  • I ordered a new product and got an open one with the wrong guitar picks in it.
Style: Multipack Size: 2.0 mm
I received an open pack of picks with fender mediums in place of half the pack. I do not play with anything under 2.0 and mediums are definitely not even close. Not to mention the fender picks I received are cheaper than the Ernie Ball prodigy. Outside of that, I ordered these picks to see if it would replace my favorite Dunlop 2.0 slate style pick. I didn’t get the pick I wanted to try (although I was supposed to) and of the ones I did receive, they are not my preference (they don’t grip at all) All in all this product leaves me with two feelings. Like I want a refund and like I should just stick to my tried and true originals. ... show more

  • Best pick I’ve used
Style: Standard Size: 1.5 mm
Went to Guitar Riot in Cleveland, OH to try out a fender custom shop and forgot to take a pick with me. My lucky day someone left a prodigy 1.5 on the amp head inside the tryout room. I bought the guitar and told the shop keep i was taking the pick i found too! They are all i use now-comfortable, accurate...there just awesome...if you don’t like thick picks don’t bother...but if you do, I got to believe you’ll love these. :) ... show more

  • After a bazillion years
Style: Mini Size: 2.0 mm
the picks I've been using since I was a kid (Stubby Jazz) just got put on the shelf. (ugh... I just bought a cabinet of them too /facepalm) Anyhow, I play a wide range of music, alternate picking, sweeps, 180bpm all day long.... these are fantastic picks!! and the beveled edge works perfectly for pick slides. ... show more
