I was a 10 guy until recently. I started having "sensitive" fingertips back in December. Fingertips started hurting after playing a short time. Sensitive to the touch too, and felt like I had no oils left in them. At any rate, I recently picked up a set of Rev. Willy's Mexican Lottery Brand 7-38. I figure if they're good enough for the Reverend Billy G, they're way more than good enough for me. I like 'em, and my fingertips like 'em too! I just ordered a couple of sets of NYXL 8-3 just because I haven't tried the NYXL's yet.
