Astanley 11,565 Posted January 8, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 8, 2014 Right lads , I have tried varios methods of propulsion ( the heel of the hand , the palm etc )but still cant get any decent results , do you think I may be using too much chalk and does any one know the correct ratio for friction between coin and board to enable maximum control , I have practised for hours and am only getting keener . sensible answers only please and Jocky Wilson need not reply Quote Link to post Share on other sites

More chalk or less chalk. Shiny coin or dull? It's a minefield alright. Regarding your friction question, as you are aware, there are 2 coefficients of friction. One refers to an object at rest and the other to a moving object. Could you clarify which one you require? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Aye you can't forget the Newtonian laws of motion, very important to know things like your inertial frames of reference if you want to make it.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
