REALLY small hands!

SNOWBALL · #1 03-05-2007, 03:35 PM

I went out with a 5 foot 3 girl this weekend, and her hands are the same size as mine. I'm five foot ten, and I have never met a male with hands smaller than mine. Am I pretty much screwed as far as punching hard, or could this possibly work to my advantage somehow?

On the bright side, the punch will be concentrated in a smaller area. But it may be easier to break a knuckle. Make sure you aim for the chin!

PS. I'm 6'1" and have huge hands. [img]/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img]

The size of your hands has no effect on your punching power. Your hands are just along for the ride. The biggest concern, as someone else mentioned, is breaking your hand. One of the best ways to prevent that is to do a lot of grip and wrist exercises. I highly reccomend the Captain of Crush grippers from www.ironmind.com

For reference, what's the distance between the crease where your wrist starts and the tip of your middle finger? I'm a little over 6'1" and I just measured mine at exactly 8".
