The trick is getting the skin beneath the shell to pull the rest of it
Fresher eggs will be harder to peel tho
I'll second the fresh eggs part. We get our family's eggs from a farmer in the next town over. They said that week old eggs will peel much easier.
FWIW, place week old eggs in a pot, cover with cool water, bring to a rolling boil, cover and remove from heat. Wait 20 minutes exactly, then dunk in cool water.
As others have suggested, bang top and bottom of the egg, then roll gently on the countertop/table to crush all of the shell without piercing the membrane, then pierce through the membrane on the top of the egg where the air bubble is and peel from there. Most of the time the shell amd membrane comes off in one piece.
I do the same but I only wait 11 minutes and then I put ice over them
