Can I test my punch power?

- Owain Jones, Newport

Guru generally rounds up a volunteer or two from the housekeepi­ng staff and asks them for ratings, but that’s both unscientif­ic and, apparently, inhumane, so other methods are required. There’s a free Android app (Punch Power) – clutch phone in fist, throw a haymaker at the air and it’ll offer up some spurious figure. It’s rubbish and will likely break your phone.

Hykso’s Punch Trackers ($228) do a similar job but with a bit more focus. A bundle of accelerome­ters to strap to your gloves when training, they track the arc, power speed and frequency of your swings, so you’ll get a lot more than a number on how hard you thump.
