Although you may or may not like the tone, acrylic guitar picks tend to stick to the fingers rather well. Two of our sponsors, V-Picks and Gravity Picks make some nice examples.

If your picks are sliding out of your fingers - you are holding them too tight.

I've tried
Tortex=slip out a lot
Clayton Frost Byte= do ok but spin in hand
Dunlop Nylon=ok but also spin
Dunlop Max Grip= best I've tried but still spin some and occasionally come out

I was thinking of trying maybe the Star picks or Cactus pick but just looking for which ones ya'll have had good experience with.
We make pretty stable picks, the F-1 , and we also make grips for any pick, the X-1. Have had many happy users, would be glad to send a sample to you if youd like? You can see them at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YQkfsWblNdw . Send me a message if you're interested, also will send some out if anyone else is interested. www.f1pick.com

Gravity picks hold as good as any I have tried, I use the sunrise without the hole, I do have a couple with the hole which hold really well also

Guitar Moose sticky grip are my fav and go-to picks, with Cool Picks running a close second.

What he said:
I use both brands and nothing else for the past while couple of years.
The tone for me is fine, but I had to experiment with the right model for my technique as they can be a bit noisy on the strings.

May not be the pick. With a thumb over grip, almost any pick is pretty well locked in position.

I have always used A notebook re-enforcer {paer rings with holes}. This method is very cheap to use.

Received these in the mail today, but haven't tested them out yet, I'll let ya'll know how it turns out.

I also though about trying some of the acrylic ones but I'm gonna try these first.

I just bought 30 Cactus Picks 10 each thin, medium and thick. I had one for about 18 months and it dropped down inside our leather lounge. I spent an hour with lounge upside down looking for it until wife hit the roof. So I found an Ebay seller in the US who posted them to Australia to me. Love em and wont use anything else now.

I know have about 120 redundent picks

I've been putting a small patch of adhesive backed sand paper on a few of my picks; 320 grit to be exact. The abrasive surface provides excellent non-slip grip.

For me it's tone and feel first, The if I need to make them grippier I'll scuff 'em up with some sandpaper.
Sandpaper also works good on the nose bridges of my glasses too - keeps 'em from sliding down.

I like a small piece of duct tape on each side of the pick. The tape also appears to reduce the production noise quite a bit.

+1 for dava. They grip well and although they are thick, addition of rubber makes them more flexible, so they are great for acoustic. I have some Dava delrin Jazz picks and they sound amazing.
