Copags dont slide on my table

Well I tried using my set of Copags again -- they don't slide as well as Kems on my table. Using Kems I can slide a card from one end to the other and Copags just dont slide as well.

Anyone else have this problem?

Also, the people at my game complained that they're flimsy. More misdeals with them.

And yes, they've been broken in plenty.

My Kems are very similar to my bro's Copags. I like my narrower bridge size better, but they slyde and shuffle the same.

Maybe it is the felt on your table?

You need to wash your cards.

To me, the feel between Copag, Kem and Gemaco are very same. Gemacos slide the best. I actually ricochet them off people's chips when I deal. And low and behold, the dealer at the WSOP circuit event did the same a few times.

We have ricochet contests now with my Copags. How many objects can you bounce them off before you get it to the person. Pretty Fun!

Matty, you may have just invented the next sport.

If I didn't before, I certainly did now. Maybe I should start taking bets... We usually do it during bathroom breaks. On a related note, did anyone see that episode of Mythbusters when they tried to use cards to break skin? I think they were using cheap paper cards. It'd be nice to redo the test with a set of copags. They could probably cut a finger clean off if propelled fast enough...

Isn't intentionally ricocheting a good way to crack the side of the card? I saw a kem card that looked like it was cut with a knife and I suspect it was from doing this.

The Copags aren't dirty, they're just barely broken in. I can slide the Kems like you mentioned, they will hit someones chips and richochet. The copags just dont slide well.
