I was wondering how everyone here holds their picks. I hold mine in my own way, but that might not be the best for speed. Could anyone show me a different way to hold it?

I've been through the most amazing changes through the years pickwise, and finally I've been playing with this little pick type for at least a decade.

I hold it between thumb and index finger. I loose them all the time so I always carry a bag of some 100 picks!
