quality bag gloves?

supersudo · 08-02-2006, 01:08 AM

so i read on ringside's website saying that you should definitely get some bag gloves and some training gloves because bag gloves are made of closed cell foam, and are better for bag and padwork.. while training gloves are just meant for sparring and are made of open-cell foam which is softer..

it says using training gloves on heavy bag will essentially wear them out faster...

so i'm in a sort of a tough spot right now.. i just ordered some expensive twins gloves.. so i don't wana spend a lot of money on some bag gloves.. but i would like some quality bag gloves that'll last me a while... then again.. i could just keep using my low-end everlast gloves that are hurting my hands and save up...

but i'm not even sure if i should invest in some bag gloves right now.. what do u guys think?

also if i should get a pair, what do u guys think of the ringside's selection of super bag gloves like the top contender brand?... or should i just save up and get some expensive ones?

or am i just worrying too much about this.. and that the twins are good enough for all-around work?....

btw.. does anyone know about the type of padding twins has? not too much info to read about on the thai gear.. i just know it's all top-notch stuff.. lol

I have been wondering the samething. Are bag gloves really worth the money?

What I meant is that is it worth buying bag gloves when you already have 16oz gloves?

Supersudo,

Hey, what's up? Bag gloves are very important (especially if you hit hard!). I would go with Windy, Ringside, Top Contender... all are great. Let me know and I'll hook you up with a deal.
