?'s about SSF Primetime style gloves

CFMC04 · 12-10-2007, 03:39 PM

I have been looking but cannot find a review for the SSF Primetime style gloves. Does anyone use these? If so....

1) How are they for MMA sparring?
2) How are they for bag/mit work?
3) How have they held up?
4) How is the sizing? My hand measures 8.25" around the knuckles without wraps. I like wrapping my hands and wonder if the larges will work. Ron said they should but I'd like to hear from people who use them to be sure.

I have heard nothing but great things about Ron and SSF. I really want to get these gloves for sparring etc because I like them more than the shooto style I have (closer to comp gloves). I have Truth MMA gloves but I would like to go a little harder when sparring and I don't feel right tagging my training partners with comp style gloves above 25%. Any help would be most certainly appreciated.

I am 90% sold on these gloves but I have yet to read a review on these gloves specifically. I have read about the Gameness gloves but really want to hear from people who have tested the SSF's.

These are the gloves http://ssfgear.com/shopsite_sc/product79.html

Any photos would be appreciated. Especially if they show SSF's compared to a comp glove

i'd like to know too. i was thinking about buying the Truth mma gloves because i heard they are good but i guess it would probably be a good idea to get something with more padding.

Thanks Cheesesteak. Can you answer my questions but for the CSI's? I still like the SSF's and still hope to hear from someone who has them. Cheesesteak if you can answer all my questions about the CSI's maybe I will just go with them. It doesn't seem anybody has the SSF's.

According to SSF, these are exactly the same as the gameness gloves (same manufacturer and specs.) I'm fairly sure they have been reviewed.

The gloves are band new and have only been shipping out for a couple of weeks. I know a few of the G&E guys have bought them. Maybe they will be kind enough to do a review.

SSF I sure hope so. I will be sidelined from training for about six weeks due to an injury. My plans for the rehab time include researching and purchasing needed gear. My list is long but certainly at the top of the list is your gloves. I'm sure I could probably buy them just off your reputation alone and be happy but since I'm sidelined I will force myself to do my homework first.

I have had these gloves for about 2 weeks now and they are exactly the same as my old Primetime gloves. I love my Primetimes and I love the SSF version even more because they cost less. The Primetime and the SSF gloves are both great for sparring, they have good padding so you can hit at about 90%. I don't use them for bag work. So far they are holding up well but like I said, I've only had them for 2 weeks so far. My hands are big and got the XL gloves and they fit well.
