About 5 years ago I purchased a 4.20mm pick from another company as a goof, but the more I played with it, the more comfortable it became and my overall speed and tone improved. But after a while I found that the Osteoarthritis in my picking hand was still having pain, so I downsized to a 3.00mm from the same company and found it much more comfortable.
Enter the new year (2026), and a yearning for new gear found me perusing Sweetwater when I just happened to stumble upon Gravity’s “Striker” model and the speed-beveled design piqued my interest, so I snagged a few to try out (Striker, Stealth and Edge). I immediately gravitated [no pun intended] towards the Striker. The Stealth and Edge are great for more precise playing and crisper tones for Metal/Prog, but I found the Striker works great for any genre while reducing strain on my arthritic digits. I love that all 3 corners have the speed bevels so that if the pick moves while I’m playing or if I had to grab one in a hurry, I can dig right in without worry. And the fact that I can get them custom-printed is just icing on the cake! Big thanks to Chris Fahey for being super-helpful in getting my custom-printed picks created and shipped to me post haste. I have found my new home for all my plectrum needs at Gravity.
