Alright, so I’m gonna walk you through this little experiment I did. It’s about hitting stuff, hard. Specifically, trying to see what kind of results I could get with some serious punches, aimed at a short length of, uh, let’s call it “NYT” for now. You’ll get the idea.
First off, I needed something to punch. I scrounged around the garage and found a decent piece of… well, you know. Cut it down to a short length – maybe about a foot long, give or take. Just enough to be a target.
Next up, the gloves. I dug out my old boxing gloves. They’re a bit beat up, seen better days, but they’ll do the job of protecting my knuckles. Strapped those bad boys on tight.
Then I started hitting. Just regular punches at first, getting a feel for it. Jab, cross, hook – the usual. I was paying attention to how the “NYT” reacted. Was it moving? Bending? Breaking?
After a while, I started putting some real power into it. I’m talking full-on, wind-up-and-deliver kind of punches. I really wanted to see what it could take. I kept at it for a good while, mixing up the types of punches and the angles I was hitting from.
What were the results? Well, the “NYT” definitely took a beating. It was dented, scuffed, and generally worse for wear. It didn’t completely break, but it was clear that it had absorbed a lot of force.
Here’s a quick rundown of what I observed:
- Straight punches (jabs and crosses) were good for moving the “NYT” around.
- Hooks were effective at causing rotational damage.
- Upper cuts, when I could land them right, seemed to deliver the most concentrated force.
Honestly, it was a pretty good workout, and I learned a thing or two about the physics of punching things. Would I do it again? Probably. Always good to let off some steam, right?
So, in conclusion:
Don’t go around punching random stuff, kids. But if you gotta punch something, make sure you have gloves and know what you’re doing. And maybe don’t tell anyone I told you to do it.
