Dava test pack
I bought these picks as I wanted a silver plated plectrum but couldn't find any cheap ones. I discovered Dava by accident and decided to buy this mini 5 pack to test some of them. I was very interested in the Master Control, as this pick has a nickel/silver tip. I'll break my review down by pick:
Master Control (Rock Control Nickel Silver): UNBELIEVABLE. Great tone, feels very nice in the hand. Not slippery at all. The centerlines give an indication for the "feel" of the pick (ie. from soft to hard). Feels very sturdy. It's a shame Thomann doesn't sell them, because I can't get enough of them.
Jazz Grip Delrin/Grip Tip Delrin: Once again, fantastic grip. Not slippery, just as you want your pick to be. Feels very soft and nice to the touch. The combination of the grip and the tip offers some great widely employable techniques. All in all, very good!
Rock Control Delrin (red tip): Same grip as the Nickel Silver Tip pick, great feel, good tones once again, just as comfortable as the nickel/silver tip but a different tone as one would expect.
Dava Control Nylon (blue): These were my least favorite of the bunch. Good grip, the tone was there but not as good as the other ones (personal preference).
If you're curious about Dava and want to try out some of their picks, this is the way to go! This pack is great value for money and you can try out some different combinations for a rather nice price. All in all, I would recommend it!

Mix and match
If you want to try most of their picks, go with this package. I prefer the jazz delrin picks, they are my favorite. Maybe some other pick will be your favorite. Buy, try it out, choose.

A little bit of everything :)
It?s a perfect set for undecided ones and for those who like to have every possible option at their fingertip. All fit very well in hand and came in cheerful colors :) Besides having different tips (that you just have to try out for yourself), they come in different sizes: the JazzGrip is the smallest one, could also be nice for a child; the RubberGrip with rubber finish helps when I play longer and OriginalControl made of soft plastic are my favorite - those two are bit bigger than the JazzGrip; I use them for electric and acoustic ? kind of unlikely choice so glad I've tried them.
The RockControl and MasterControl are profiled to fit better under thumbs but somehow too big for me and also the plastic grip is not that nice.

Helps you find what is the right pick for you. I change string from light to medium to heavy every so often and wanted a variety pack of picks to try with different sets of strings.
This what I needed without having to buy 10 of each and then not using them. Good selection, great picks.
Must have in your pick arsenal.

If you like to experiment with various thicknesses and materials - go for it
I bought this set out of sheer curiosity to test yet another pick and found it very inspiring. It turned out each of the picks works well for a different style of playing: the soft one is for some clean stuff, while the one with metal edge is fantastic for, well, metal stuff, with the remaining plectrums for everything in between. Each one is well made and provides some solid grip. Overall, I am very satisfied with this package.

Nice picks!
The Dava picks are great, in fact i was surprised because i bought in a sort of random test of picks,
the 5 pack is good to let you know wich dava pick suits you best, in my case i?ve liked the grip tip delrin and the jazz grip,
now i?m gonna buy an extra stock of the models i liked most,
because the sound you get is superior from a traditional dunlop or other models, of course all depends on the technic used, but so far is the best pick i?ve ever tried,
i do recommend the 5 pack specifically to get to know the models and once you have your favorite you can buy extra from that specific model you like!

A review for the master control pick
The following review is mainly for the dava master control, the pick with the tip made of metal. As this pick was not sold separately I had to buy it with the pack. The pick has a very good grip so I rarely drop it while playing. With other picks it happens to me quite often. As the tip is made of metal you get quite a different tone with it. I would describe it as twangy attack. Nowadays I almost never use any other picks, at least when playing my electrics.

I like this kind of picks, they have a perfect grip, though they seem to wear faster than others.
