Pretty Good, Needs Improvements.

Firstly, great asthetics, the graphics on the picks are Awesome, secondly, the grip is really nice, you can kind of feel it catching the rivets of your fingers, it's not the most grippy pick that I've ever felt, with the most grippy pick being the Dunlop Delrin 500 Prime Grip 1.5mm Guitar Pick which is like Sandpaper, but the grip on this pick gets the job well done.

My complaints: Well firstly, the graphics wear off to easily, I know its not a big deal, but with the great asthetics of the pick, it just kind of takes away from the experiance of playing the pick when the grapics are half-there. On top of that the grapics in the grip section won't come off, so you can't make it look clean either. Secondly, it does show some easy wear, not to a degree to where you should worry about it. Lastly, it could use a bit more of a grip to it, I do realize this is made to James Hetfield's standards, but this is just my opinion.

Overall, I would (and did) suggest these to a friend.

Great picks

Perfect pick for all styles in my experience. Grip is effective and stops slippage and the size is just right for heavy riffing, while allowing easy string skips for soloing.

In this promotional video from Dunlop, James says,

We basically wanted to improve the Black Fang, so we came up with the White Fang. The White Fang is more like the Flow meets the Black Fang, so size wise, it's a slight bit smaller. Smooth this through a knife edge, I can glide on the strings super fast. New materials that stand up a lot longer, basically lasts longer on stage. The other difference from this (Black Fang) is it has the texturing, the grip, which I love and got used to on the Flow. With the size, easy to hang on to. Fast, sleek, and easy to grip. And easy to see when you throw it out into the crowd. White Fang, baby!
