GEAR: Title Equipment

[dfwtx]

i just got the title gel training gloves after using a pair at my gym and loving them, and a pro at my gym says they're the best training gloves he's used lol

see i thought that was right....

my trainer told me the other day I should be using 18oz and nothing lower. I dont get it...

I really want to get 16oz

if your trainer said 18s, get 18s. we use 18s at our gym, but most gyms do spar with 16s. trust me, a lot of kids can still **** with 18s on.

i like the title platinum headgear. it protects well. downside: it moves around when you get hit with grazing shots.

as someone else said- ringside imf tech lace ups. i just got these and i love em.

what size gloves do you use in an amateur bout then?

10's or 12's, depending on your weight class.

At my gym we use 16's for sparring, and 18's for heavyweight or above.

The Title Gel Training Gloves are awesome. The Ringside IMF Tech gloves are the best **** for the buck, IMO. They are stiff, comfortable, and low-profile, & they give a good thump even at 16 oz.

I use the new Rival headgear (search for the thread) and I love it, though I had my doubts at first. My foul protector is from Title and my shoes are Everlast low top. I use a Brainpad upper-and-lower mouthguard and highly recommend it. I like all my gear; if I buy it and don't like it, I donate it to my gym.

It's worth the money to get the good gear. Always. Buy the best you can afford.

I'm a beginning amateur boxer. I have been using the gloves and other equipment that my gym already has. I was thinking about investing in my own gloves, headgear, etc.

Anyone buy Title or know anything about it?
Any suggestions on any online stores?

YOO

i have bought online from title 3 seperate times... i HIGHLY suggest their site, not only for the title gear but becuase they have everlast and rival, and even more name brands to choose from.. their shipping is very fast, even overseas.. and equipment is always delivered in mint condition

if u want details of what i bought let me know.. quality is quality tho.. u will find it in title/ everlast / grant / rival / reyes , they all got online stores

what do you guys prefer or think is better: lace up or elastic cuff?

[Migs]

Lace up hands down. It's going to give you the best wrist support. You can only tighten the elastic cuffed gloves so much but the lace ups can be pulled tight so it's snug around your wrist. When I got my IMF gloves I originally wanted the hook in loop for convenience of getting the glove on and off but they sent me the lace ups and when I tried them on I was hooked immediately. Safety, comfort, and support > than convenience.
