Cassin xdream12/10/2023 I'll confirm that the Ice picks are indeed stamped "T". "At just 4 cm from the tip, the cross-section of the Race pick widens from 3 mm to 4 mm." The Race picks are tapered even less, though I haven't held one myself: You can see it if you look at both picks side by side. So the Mixte pick tapers to full thickness gradually over 10cm, and the Ice pick tapers more quickly over just 8 cm. "the pick gradually widens from 3 to 4 mm, 8 cm back from the tip of the pick." "The Mixte pick weighs 120 grams, with the thickness gradually increasing from 3 to 4 mm, 10 cm from the tip." Ergonomicky tvarovaná rukovä s nastavite.

I've only got maybe 8-10 days on them and they were brand new for this season. The handle has come loose and audibly shakes on every swing.
