can't complain about anything
I play bass and due to the heavy gauge of the strings, the pick used to rotate. This obviously causes a lot of problems.
Enter Dava. What I like is not just that they don't slip, the way this pick is made, it bends quite a lot depending on where you hold the pick.
This is great, because the bend gives it a sticky feeling that you can only get when you play with your fingers but at the same time, it gives it the "ping" you can only get with a pick.
I know many people scoff at pick players and I used to do the same but playing with a pick on my fretless F bass has helped me intonate correctly due to the "ping" I can get from the picks.
After using this pick, I have not had to cross shop at all. There are different types of Dava but as long as you get the ones covered in black rubber, they all do the same. Some give more ping, others sound a little more fuller. But it's very subtle. The biggest difference is in the feel of the tip.

Surprisingly good
Initially, when I saw how Dava grip described their picks as "lets you bounce between the feel of a soft gauge (rhythm) to a hard guage (lead) while playing!", I honestly do not expect much but I bought them anyways to be included in one shipment as a why-not moment.
Honestly, I am quite surprised! Usually I prefer thinner picks (0.05mm) to play rhythm due to personal comfort. These picks are thicker but surprisingly comfortable as compared to a normal pick with the same thickness.....for lead, you are supposed to grip harder. You could definitely feel the attack difference between strumming and picking lead - but not heaven and earth difference. BUT if you are into really thick pick for lead, this may not be what you are looking for. It is a bit more pricey for guitar picks but not stupidly expensive. An adequate addition to your arsenal if you have the budget.

Best picks out there!
Dava picks are unbelievable, you have that grip that you can hold on to it, I was always a bit frustrated when I'm in the moment of guitar playing and pick just falls from my hand ... Well not any more. When you hold loosely it's great for chords and funk but when you grab closer to to pointy edge it's more hard and therefore excellent for solo.
Get this set and you're sorted for a while.

They bend between your fingers
The softest part of the pick is right above the coloured "smile" - meaning away from the tip. The pick transfers the force from the strings to this part and makes this part bend more than the tip. So though the rubber part is in itself more grippy than other picks, the pick feels less stable when strumming hard. The bending makes it feel like the pick is trying to wiggle its way out of your grip ... or my grip anyway. Many others appear to rate these picks highly. I was disappointed in them. I guess it depends on what you want to use the picks for. I can not rate the durability, so I gave it a medium score. On a side note, though coloured in various ways, all the picks are of the same hardness.

Good ones
Size is exactly like Dunlop barell models. Thinner than Dunlop 1mm but same hardness, wich is great for me. Nice feel in fingers too. 4 stars beacuse they wear off almost like Dunlops but costs three times more. Not sure if "feel" in my fingers worth that much more.

Unique!
These picks are quite unique. I personally love them because you can use them for playing both funk and genres that require a softer plectrum AND other genres also, that normally require a normal pick.
I wouldn't recommend them for heavy styles like hard rock or metal because, while versatile, they don't offer the fast action of a hard/heavy pick.

Interesting Experience
I already had this picks a few years ago. I bought them again last week. I tried them both in acoustic and electric guitar. If you are good at pick control, you should try them. Those picks are very versatile and the tone depends on your grip. Nice feeling, nice quality, but not very durable as other picks, Their tips are melting easily.

What a surprise
I've always been very picky with picks (ah ah ah) so I was curious about how versatile these picks are described to be.
I'll say it right away, these are already my pics of choice, and I like how they respond to my grip based on what I'm playing.
They won't go to super flat to super hard of course, but they allow you to play solos, rythm guitar and chords comfortably without felling like you're compromising.
Also, I usually like sanded grips as my fingers get sweaty, and although this are not sanded, the texture makes it so they don't slip at all. Already placed a second order.

Dava plectrums
My first Dava picks. I like delrin picks and variable pick tip seems like great idea. But in reality I didn't connect with it. Sound that you get is bright and the grip is very good. Delrin is durable material so I excpect long life of those picks. Only thing that it's not ok is that control of tip thickness. It's not thick enough regardless of my grip. I like picks around 1.5mm. Low or high position of fingers doesn't create wanted thickness. I've tried it for couple of days so there is chance to change my perspective. I got to be fair and said that maybe it's my incorrect technic. So far, not impressed.

Dava control grip tip delrin picks
I like the tone and look, however, the picks aren't really good in my opinion because when I use them, the black rubber part always touches the strings causing you to get stuck or drop your pick.
