Heavy Bag Gloves

sorry if this is out there already, but I searched.

First off, my MAPH ain't so good, and I'm seeing Twins Heavy Bag Gloves for .9 kilograms which is like over 30 oz. no?

I know it's not that heavy, but I want to know how heavy those gloves actually are.

Second, People use lighter gloves on the bags, but my left wrist tendon is pretty messed up from poorly thrown hooks on heavy bags. I want to avoid this. Thinking of just using a heavier glove on the heavier bag (please, i know, improve technique...i am). Thoughts?

I want a good heavy bag glove that's different from my sparring glove.

Advice.

If you plan on using that kind of bag glove, you also need a good thick pair of hand wraps. Wrap for extra tight wrist support, Even add a layer of athletic tape over your damaged wrist to keep it tight during workouts.

that's why i think i'm thinking about passing on "bag gloves" and just using another pair of larger, 12-16 regular gloves on the bag.

thoughts, anyone?

beuller? beuller?
