Slam Man's Just a Boxer Though His Story's Seldom Told...
Posted by Nick
When Simon and Garfunkel married sports with song, I don't think Slam Man was what they had in mind:
The Slam Man is a computerised, free-standing piece of equipment that is used like a heavy bag. It allows you to practice punches with flashing red lights prompting you to arrange your punches in a certain combination. With Slam Man, you can make up your own boxing combinations as you desire. Slam Man is so durable that you can hit him as hard as you like, and he even lights up so that you know when and where to hit him.
This looks pretty cool, but I have the feeling you'll look like a complete dork using it -- which, when you're trying to look cool by boxing, is counterproductive.
