Hi i encounter difficulty in being able to p*** coins. This is because i have skinny non-fleshy hands and there isn't much flesh to p***. any suggestions on how i can adapt? My coins seem to keep dropping unless i hang on tighter which makes my hand seem in an unnatural position.
Thanks for replies. Appreciate it. B)
I believe that when we first start, its always unatural. Keep p***ing and see how it goes. I think i mentioned bout an exercise for your pinky that you can do with a bunch of keys in one of the topics. This way you can develop the muscle and it will be easier to p*** a coin.
Bottomline - Once you are sure that you are p***ing in the right position, keep p***ing till it feels natural to you.
For whatever it's worth, try out different coin sizes.
For tricks that borrow coins from spectators, it is quite obvious that you're stuck with Singapore coins. Otherwise, performing on other types of coins can be just as effective.
Personally, I find that Singapore coins (including the largest 50 cents) are too small for me. Malaysian 50-sen feels more comfortable. American Susan B Anthony dollar feels most comfortable. I've also seen tricks done using Chinese coins (those old ones with square hole in the center).

Have you been into p***ing coins only recently? If yes, then it is most likely due to the fact that you are still not used to it. The only way out for you is then to practice harder. Let it drop and pick it up and continue trying. After awhile, you will be able to hold the coin there. And over another period of time, it should look more natural.
As mentioned above, coin size does matter to some degree. If your hand is big and you are trying to p*** a very small coin, it will of cause be more unnatural as compared to you p***ing a bigger coin. My hand is pretty small, so SGD 50cents is ok for me. Although Half dollar felt better.
But when you are first starting off practicing p***ing. I would suggest that you start off with larger coins. (larger is subjective here, depending on the size of your hand). You will find it easier to p***. And you can also do those exercises that LoyaLover mentioned to enhance your muscle.
