Jazz III is a shredder's standard pick, and tortex version is no exception. The pick is very durable and impossible to break, the tip is very durable contrary to some sharp picks i've used. I like tortex because the grip is amazing and the pick feels better to me than a nylon pick. The picks are also much harder than many nylon picks. However, there is a downside, there is a scratching noise when the pick is in contact with the string, which i neglible, but if you really pay attention, you can notice the diiference between and a nylon pick. Also, the point of the pick is as thich as the rest of the pick, not sharpened or anything, which can sometimes feel very thick. Those are things to consider when buying this pick, but i think it's overall a very good pick and it's my usual.
