Which one is it Brian?

Centrifugal or Centripetal?

I ain't no scientist feller, but I think centrifugal force only exists in response to the application of centripetal force. But for practical demonstration purposes, who cares, as long as the point is made? :)

The force TOWARD the center(Centripital) is what causes the outward force (Centrifugal).

In golf, just tilt your tea-cup and unwind.
