Helpful hint. I use a lazy Susan for practice all the time. Keep a rubber doorstop handy and when you turn the board stick the doorstop under the edge to keep it from moving.
Awesome, glad you enjoyed it! We also did a full tutorial if that's helpful, and just posted the second video in the series with Jeremy - Strategic Waxing!
@@boardgametotearscapo shuffle board wax or other brand is what you want. To clean and maintain the finish on the board though you want mothers california gold spray wax. Just one spray on each quadrant and a quick buff with a microfibre cloth and you're good to go. I try and give the board a quick spray and wax every 15-30 games. You'll know when it slows down too much. You can wax the buttons too by spraying onto a microfibre cloth and rubbing them on it. Really helps keep things fast with the powder being used during a game to keep things consistent.
Question, are jump shots legal? To explain what I mean, when placing your puck, you can have it on the shooting line and the back of it overhanging the ditch. By flicking from below the puck, you can flick it in the air over any of your own pucks that are blocking your line of sight and in a poor position for any chance of a bump shot.
Thanks for the replies, my wife got me a Tracey board for Christmas and we have been playing every day since then. Thanks for the great videos that have been helping us improve.
One extra thought. Just as in figuring if a disc is counted as 10 points or 5 points (in other words, is it touching the line) you don't check that by looking from above where the centre of the disk hangs over. You look from the side (sometimes with aid of a light) to see if the bottom edge of the disc is actually touching the line (5 points) or if you can see a slight space (10 points). With that same principle used if someone wants to get sticky about it, and using a Tracey board or another of NCA specs, to properly be touching the shooting line, there is hardly any disc left extending beyond the board, so such a shot would be quite hard.
@@ronlangill8689 yeah, we had a board on the table all weekend so I tried out of curiosity and while I could get under it, I could never jump it with any sort of consistency or accuracy. So maybe it’s a Hail Mary last resort but definitely not going to be a regular strategy.

Great tip if you are going to be using a lazy susan for ease!
I have never heard of that before, cool idea
Fantastic video guys! If we have new recruits at our next Crokinole night this is the vid I will play for them to show them the ropes 👍

love to hear it 🙂
I love Crokinole! Thanks for the tips. I've been wondering about what I can use for wax for my board.
Wax for upkeep or the wax we were talking about that you use game to game?
@PlaytheGameHQ Actually I'm curious about both.

That is a good question and one that I don’t know the answer to so I’ll have to check with Jeremy and see
I dont think the official rules explicitly say you can't BUT the success rate will be very low and possibly not very board friendly.
