Punching Machine!!!

Has anyone been on them fairly new punching machines that suddenly pop up in nearly every wine bar and nightclub throughout the U.K?I came across one about 2months ago in me local wine bar.It reads your power on a digital screen after you hit the bell-shape ball.It shows you the record you have to beat on the screen before you have ago your self.The record of the machine me and me mate were using was 910.The punching machine was situated right near the D.J stand,and the D.J annouced that if you beat the record you win a bottle of champaine.I was like "Yeah right:rolleyes:,so this machine is NOT fixed and is not a money making scam".I knew the score of the scam,but i was out with me mates and me best mate said to me "Come on,im harder than you(What a cock ha!)lets get it on!So anyhow i stepped up to the challenge and put a £1(for two shots)in the machine.I stud back from the ball at about 3foot and hit it as hard as i could.Me reading was 853,which i was kind of pleased with for a first dig.Then it was me mates go,"He took it all serious"by doing stretches,Only joking.Anyway he took a 100 metre run up to the machine and whacked it as hard as he could and he got a reading of 890.So i said to him "Right now its on!"I had another go and another but me record reading was getting poorer and poorer even know i was hitting it sweet,were as me mates reading was more or less the same as before.The thing is....He has never thrown a propper punch in his life really but still managed to beat me.DAMN!He took the piss out of me all the way through the rest of the night:eek:.Im sure them machines are fixed.I mean me and me mates went out of town for a change to Leeds for a night out on the lash only about 10 days and the same machine was there again but with a total differant lower reading record of 845.So me and me same old best mate had another go knowing that we could beat it and recieve the prize.Anyhow we kept hitting it and hitting and we kept getting 750s all the time.So them machines are definatey programed to always take money off you for sure"AS I SUSPECTED AGES AGO"Still there are good fun but im going to keep away from them a bit and watch other punters lose money instead,Ha.

Have any of you's been on them punching machines and if soo,what record did you get??

Thanks!

I saw a guy punch the steel post that connects to the bag/ball thing at a bowling alley a few years ago, his punch was like a cricket bowl the daft bugger.

Re: Punching Machine!!!

usually get around 820 at most but most of it is all just the weight that goes onto the ball bit so it doesnt assess power as such i dont think

however one in a place by me had been messed about with and unsuspecting me went on it shortly afterwards and managed to put my hand into the screen !!
....... wasnt fun

haha

Re: Punching Machine!!!

It's all to do where you hit the ball as the sensor is situated within it.

If it was Sports Bar in Leeds my mate holds the record on it and he's about 5 foot nothing, so I'm guessing the sensor is right at the bottom of the bag

Re: Punching Machine!!!

There was this arcade I went too once that had one. You wore a glove and hit some type of ball.

I can't remember what my score was (and don't know if the score is measured by pounds per square inch), but I did score a bit higher than my brother. He is 5 years younger than me, but almost as tall, and weighs about 40 lbs. heavier than me. (At the time I was 6'3" and about 155 lbs., now I've put on about 15 lbs).

Ive done that, got about 400 with the head. ;D

Funny story...Myself and a few mates were in a club that had one and we were all kinda clowning with it using the nut and what not.

One of my mates had had a few and decided to take a little run at the fucker and nut it..

Well, the dude knocked himself cold almost. When he went in with the head he caught the metal frame just above the bag. LOL!

Dude took about 3 steps back, turned round and had a line of blood trickling down his forehead.

After that he spent about an hour in the toilet throwing up then had to go home. LMAO!
