Analogue for Human head

[RenDaHai]

Hey Team;

Ever noticed how you can punch a heavy bag much harder when your wrists are wrapped and your hands gloved?

This disturbs me sometimes, because were I to punch the same power without the gloves and wraps against a human skull, my hands would not last long.


I want to construct a good analogue of the human head that I can punch to gauge how much power I should be using and improve the angle of my punches...


I figure a good place to start is a 5Kg Bowling ball with a rubber mat wrapped over it.

4.5-5Kg is about the Mass of the human head.... a Bowling ball is about the right size and shape (curved surface is important).

But what about hardness... I can't really get my head around it.

Anyone understand how hardness works?

ANyone else have a good analogue?

Gene, could Tiger claw make a punchable head? Like a head with a skull that you can put your hand inside and hold up like a punching pad for your opponent to punch, but as hard and heavy as a real face?

I think at least a head shaped punching pad would be a great idea.....
