I thought the nylon maxgrip jazz 3 was different from the carbon fiber maxgrip jazz 3... Are they actually the same thing? I couldn't find the carbon fiber version listed for a decent price on the internet, so I settled for this. Then bajaao went and sent me carbon fiber picks anyway :P I definitely prefer these picks over the "black stiffo" version of the maxgrip jazz 3... mostly because they look prettier, hehe. I think they are also more durable. Guess I'm supposed to review the picks. Carbon Fiber jazz 3 picks are the best I've tried. Thumbs up. Note: this is NOT a "players'pack", just 6 picks in a Ziploc bag. So if packaging is for some reason extremely important to you, look elsewhere.
