Description: For improvements

Assuming im using a regular size half dollar.
Does it improve my CP if i changed to a smaller coin lets say singapore 50 cents coin?
Or does my CP improve if i palm a larger coin such as the huge singapore dollar from 1990?
I realised that MP a smaller coin, actually improves your muscle pass with a larger coin. So i was wondering if theres similar principles that help with CP as well.

From my limited experience, I think CP-ing a larger coin will improve your CP. I started CP-ing a 20cent SG which I thought would be of the correct size for myself but I then I realise it is too small. I switched to 50cent SG which I took quite some time to master the CP. After that i realise i can CP a 20cent quite easily.
I have half dollar size chinese coins which I find that CP-ing them is more comfortable because I only need to press lightly.
Overall, I think CP a larger coin like the regular half dollar should improve your CP.

I started practicing CP with a half dollar. Once u get the hang of CP, it would not be a problem to CP any other coins, like 50cents, 1 dollar or even 20 cents. (At least for me, or maybe I just have a small hand?)
I feel that it is the foundation of your CP that determines how well your CP is rather than the coin itself.
Alternatively, you can purchase this thing called 'palming coin'. I don't own one personally.
I have a tip here for you if you want to train your CP. This is what someone told me when I first started off with coins and it does work for me. CP a coin wherever you go. Like even just walking on the street, just CP a coin.
Hope this is useful for you.

Different size coins will require a slightly different set of muscle. The position is higher as the coin size increases.
Just practice with the coins you will usually perform with. Half dollar and singapore 50c would probably most common.
If you are comfortable with one coin, try two, three then move on to four coins. And then practice releasing one coin at a time. It will be a skill you will find useful in due future.
Like samuel said, practice whenever and wherever. I do it while im typing this. Get used to doing something else when you practice your CP.

Thanks! That was what i wanted to know. Guess the diferent sizes does not help you improve much.
The "palming coin" sounds interesting. Anyone tried it or know or it works?

I am not sure if you are talking about the same "Palming Coin" i am thinking of. It is thinner than normal coins and have milled edges so it enhances your grip in a way. But i doubt it helps in training in the case of normal coins. I believe its more used for Miser dream and other tricks to make things easier for you.
