"These are new and i bought my primetimes like 1.5 years ago so its pretty easy to see which came first."

Not really given that calling them a ripoff would require them to come from a different factory. I'm talking at the actual factory level. Several makers (not sellers/retailers like Primetime, I mean the actual companies making the stuff) in Pakistan offered the same glove around the same time a few years ago.

I've sparred standup with these and my partner didn't have a problem. I didn't go harder than 50%, though.

vjvj,

I was just wondering if you were still using the Hybrids? I would also like to know how much wider they are than your hand? The picture makes it seem like about 1/2" or maybe a bit more. I have the same gloves and have what appears to be about the same extra width. I'm trying to figure out if the extra width means I should go with a smaller size or if it means the gloves are just made wider than they need to be. BTW, great review.

Any help would be appreciated.

never had a problem with the extra width--- i do have big hands in x-large though-- --with your handswrapped you might not feel any difference

maybe u should size down

[CFMC04]

Maybe I should but I am a bit worried the length will be too short. What do you measure around the knuckles stu3ufc? How much extra width do you have on the sides?

a good 8 inches around the knuckle-- theres about 1 to 1.5 inches extra-- but with your hand wrapped u don't notice-- very sorry for the huge pics

Sorry for showing up so late, and thanks to stu3ufc for answering most of the questions for me ;)

I still use the Hybrids now (same pair) and they are holding up great. I agree that the extra space is nice for wraps (which I wear 99% of the time I'm training).

cool vjvj
