How to make cards slide better on Speed Cloth, Suggestions? (4 Viewers)

[mudhog]

Does anyone have a trick, say a spray powder to use on speed cloth to make the cards slide better? I have the unsuited speed cloth on my table and the cards, using Copag or Kem only, just don't slide well or make it across the table. I would appreciate any suggestions. Pic is of my table. Thanks.

How old is the felt? As they get older they get worn and cards don’t slide very well any more. Once I replaced it the cards went from one end to the other very easy.

That looks more like felt than speed cloth. I could be wrong. I originally had some felt on my table and replaced it with some SSC, and the friction is so much lower on the cloth so I can pass the cards down the entire length of the table with minimal force.

I ordered SSC from these guys, if that helps. Great customer service, highly recommend.

It is not felt, it is Non Suited Speed Cloth from Chan Man. He built the table. Just wondering if anyone has any solutions to help the cards slide better on Speed Cloth.

I stand corrected. Not sure then. My SSC showed immediate differences once installed.

It is a new table, just had it made by Chan Man about 2 months ago.

I had previously sprayed 3M scotchguard on a suited speedcloth, which made it water resistant and made cards slide slightly better.

That's something to consider.

I don't have any pointers... I will remember the 3M thing but mostly because all of my people like spoiling beer everywhere!! Lol just wanted to say awesome table! Man that thing looks sweeeeetttt!!

On a smaller table like that, technique could make all the difference. Lift and spin...practice.

Always some remark and won't add anything worthy to the conversation.

Lift and spin is actually good advice. Watch a dealer in a poker room in a casino

Actually I took that as an attempt to provide helpful advice. May be worth looking at it from a different perspective.

I thought it was good advice, and costs you nothing but time.

Those chairs! What a crazy cool setup.

On a 4-5 foot round or octagon, the cards don't actually don't do a lot of sliding. They spend most of the time in the air. End to end on an 8 footer is a different story.

Although watching those hot female dealers at ACF deal in that sexy ass European style of dealing...definitely need a slippery surface.

And I'd rather be a smart ass than a dumb ass...

The table is 72" across

Wow! Making friends already...enjoy the forum.

 

[hdgeno]

You asked for suggestions and were given one, if anyone in this thread is the ass it's you man.

I'm sure everyone now really wants to help you...

I was going to post again, but seeing where this thread is going, I'm clicking "unwatch" and moving on...

No.

Unsuited speed cloth is notoriously less slick than the suited variety.

 

[Mojo1312]

Relax. You will not go far as a poker player if you are easily offended. Moving on.

The first part of Klobberer's post is gold. Simply practice pitching the cards off of your middle finger. There are plenty of videos online that illustrate this technique.

@Josh Kifer you’re needed.

In the meantime I’ll hit the low hanging fruit... buy new felt.

+1 the stitching/designs create less surface area for the cards to hit so they go further.

I hadn't thought of that before but it totally makes sense. Great point!

You have really helped your cause by changing this threads title.

@mudhog, I will say that the new and improved title for this thread will likely attract even more comments similar to the above, most of which were initially posted in a positive, or at the very least humorous manner, but which you chose to take as a personal attack. Perhaps if you change the title of the other identical thread that you started 18 minutes later in another forum, you will get similar results.
