i have been looking for a punch bag type machine that tests how hard you punch in psi, pounds per square inch, and my searches have gone bad, i cant seem to find one anywhere.
i want to buy one for my gym at home, does anybody know of a place that sells them? or who i should contact about buying one? or anything information atall?
like the one ivan drago uses in rocky 4!

When I first read this I thought you wanted something to measure the muzzle velocity of your 'mind bullets'.

I'm just guessing but you might try a company that distributes arcade equipment. Surely someone like Bally has built some type of punching bag game to put in a bar and collect quarters.

Yeah, but they aren't calibrated in PSI, iirc it starts at 'you punch like a girl' and works up to 'Rocky!'

You might be able to DIY one. A thick rubber bag, a PSI gauge and some silicon sealant?
Hmm...
