I went to this lap dancing bar whilst out on the town a fortnight ago for my birthday with all my pals. I'm only 5ft 8 so i'm not the hugest of fellas -(you can see on the avatar)

I was betting a beer from everyone that i could beat them on the punching-machine. I racked up a huge score easily beating all these 6ft + guys. Ended up quite pissed. - its all about technique at the end of the day! (i saw most people were punching it with the type of fist shape that you would knock-a-door with, i.e clenched fist, but palm forward.

In my avatar, you see the guy in the background in the shorts and grey top? He actually did break his hand on one of those machines. Took him out of Amatuer competition for a good few years. Which was **** because he held quite a few area titles.

shiiiit, one day me and some friends were at the Luxor casino here in Vegas and by the arcade they have a game that has a speedbag and it measures how hard you hit, you only get one hit. There was some tall white guy hittin it and was gettin highscores but he was loading up like a baseball pitcher does and there was like a crowd watchin him. My freinds know I train to box and we have been in TONS of street fights so we had to get in their, they were expecting me to get the high score though.

So my freinds did it, one is 6'4" and the other is like 6'1" and they got kinda high but got just under what the tall white guy was getting, they all used big loaded up right hands though. I stepped up to do it... Im only 5'9" but I was 235 at the time and was lighting weights and was massive up top on my shoulders and chest from doin 140 pushups a day.... so I walked out and and was like flexing and one guy in the crowd said something but I only heard "Oh, one hit and...." anyway it got silent and I got in my stance and positioned for a left hook, weaved a little and then jumped in with a left hook and caught the bag at a weird angle and got the lowest score out of everybody which is complete bull**** cause I hit harder and would beat the **** out of everybody there. In a real fight my hook would have got there while the others where loading up there baseball pitch and koed them too.

Yep, there is an easy cheat for those, it doesn't have too much to do with power.

If you strike the ball on the top and down (looping overhand punch) then this sends it straight through the 'machine' targeting area.
I recall many years back when I was only a teenager beating guys who were 100lbs heavier than me at a travelling fair.

I weighed about 130lbs and was only about 14 but I could get the maximum score every time, its not about power at all.

Not sure about the other type of machines though!
