Veenutz, a training partner of mine has had a pair of
Ultimate Classic Training Gloves for 4+ years and he absolutely loves them. With the enhancements Ringside has made in those years to that particular glove (Quad layer Foam, etc.) I am sure they have only gotten better. I know you would be pleased with either glove.
The only thing I can point out is the Ultimates have the sleeve around their Hook & Loop closure like my past gloves pictured above; so unless you have a willing training partner to fix the cuff they can become a pain in the ass to put on/take off.
I did some more bag and mitt work today, along with some double end bag work and I am only loving the Grants more and more. I will be sure to update upon sparing with the Grants, most likely tomorrow or Tuesday.
If anyone has further questions or comments please feel free to ask.
