So, I decided to give the perfect touch for clawhammer pick a try. The thruth is that they look cool, but I couldn't get them to fit my finger. I spent some time doing some modifications on it and at the end the result was much better, but it still felt somewhat loose, even if it was a small size one.
Then I took an advice I read here at BHO and didsome modifications to a regular dunlop. The result is much much better. My new pick fits my finger like a glove! The only downside is that I still can't get used to the sound of my banjo when I use picks: too noisy and bright. FIngers sound much better to me. Still, I know I'll have to get used to it as I won't be able to sustain any nail if I keep wearing them down.
Take a look at the results of my pick experiments!

I have a brief video on converting Dunlops for clawing. It is on my BHO homepage. I really do tend to use my Freedom Pick more than my converted Dunlops these days but the availability difference means I'll always have some Dunlops in my banjo case for emergencies.
