Crab & Fighter
Hey, I was thinking about how we could map the force of a jab to the exact angle for maximum impact. You got any thoughts?
Let’s break it down into variables we can measure. First, capture the force output of the jab with a load cell, then record the wrist and elbow angles with a motion sensor while the punch is delivered. Plot force versus angle and look for a peak; that peak angle is your optimal target. If the peak is flat, the jab is less sensitive to angle and you can focus on speed. Keep the dataset clean—use the same hand, same speed, same arm length—otherwise the curve will be noisy. Once you have the curve, you can calculate the derivative to see how sensitive force is to small angle changes; that tells you how precise you need to be. In short: measure, plot, find the maximum, tweak the angle until the curve stabilises. Good luck.
That’s a solid plan—measure, plot, tweak. Stick to the same hand and speed, keep the data tight, and you’ll see the sweet spot quickly. Now hit the bag and put that curve to the test.
Sounds good. Put the data in a spreadsheet, run a quick regression, and you’ll see the exact angle that gives you the highest force. Then try it on the bag, compare the numbers, and refine. Keep the numbers close together, and the sweet spot will appear. Let's see that curve in action.
Grab the data in a sheet, plot force on the Y‑axis and angle on the X‑axis, fit a quick curve fit, find the peak, and that’s the angle to aim for. Then test it on the bag, compare the actual force, and adjust until the numbers line up. Keep the reps tight, and the sweet spot will show itself.
Got it. I’ll set up the sheet, run the curve fit, and then hit the bag to test the angle. Let’s fine‑tune until the numbers match up.
Sounds like a plan. Hit the bag, measure, tweak—keep that focus tight. The numbers will line up when the punch hits just right. Let's lock it in.
