A plectrum is a small flat tool used to pluck or strum a stringed instrument. For hand-held instruments such as guitars and mandolins, the plectrum is often called a pick, and is a separate tool held in the player's hand. In harpsichords, the plectra are attached to the jack mechanism.

Yes I understood it after I read the fine print under the pic
It was when I first started using them but I just got used to it. I did discover a way to have a little grip on them, drill some small holes through where about you are haling it, it helps.

I read somewhere that surfboard wax helps so I tried it. It works but a bit messy. I've always had a problem keeping hold of the pick.

There used to be a product called gorilla snat, you put it on the top half of the pick and when it dries, you get a tacky surface that never lets go. I'm not sure if its still around or maybe under a different name.
In the meantime, try drilling some small holes through the upper part of the pick, it really helps.
Harbal: You can get it on Amazon but surfboard wax is cheaper and I'm mean with money.
If it works, it works. I have discovered all sorts of non conventional tricks with my guitars and gear. If you have a guitar with tremolo springs and you are hearing them through your pickups, string a rubber band through them, stops the noise.

Pick punch. All you need is an old credit card or any strip of plastic and it makes perfect picks.
