The photos lie -- there's no dimple -- but you can score them yourself.
The photos for these picks show them with dimples, which would make them easier to hold. What I received do not have that, and most of them are very slippery.So I scored them myself -- just used an exacto knife to dig some grooves crosshatched on both sides. Now they stick in the finger well.It's a very nice product, solid, well made. I'd give five stars if I had received what the pictures indicate.

These picks looks good
These looks good but the person I gave them as a gift was not impressed I had to ask him a few days later if he likes them and he says that they are to thick or heavy, they might be good for bass or a instrument with thick strings

No groove on the back
They're good picks for the price, but I was hoping they would have a "finger groove" on the back of the pick. Most in this style have it. I should have known since there were no photos of the back of the picks in the product description.

Excellent picks
These are excellent guitar picks. They produce good tones, are sturdy, and attractive. I just wish they were labelled. But that is a small complaint about packaging as opposed to product quality.

Waste of time.
All but 1 were broken in half when I received them.

Nice looking thick picks for a deeper tone
These are really nice looking picks, and their thicker material really makes for a nice deep tone. Some of them didn't work well with my style, but they were all well made. The ones that caught the strings and had a bit more friction were excellent (I really liked the coconut and ebony picks), the smoother ones were a little more difficult for me to use as I generally like a toothier pick, but even those were pretty nice. If you're looking for something other than the usual celluloid, nylon (my usual favorite), or Delrin material then these picks are a nice assortment to try out.
