Anybody use Grant Pro training glove?

[!! Shawn]

nice. thanks for the replies i think im gonna get them with my next paycheck ill bump the thread when i get em in a couple weeks. but the main thing im lookin for in a glove is wrist protection cuz my wrists are kinda weak and the cuffs do look pretty long. but damn from the sounds of sparring or getting hit with them, i might just 16 just incase a dude got some grants too so we kinda even each other out haha. ive been hit while someone was using reyes though and those are suppose to be the punchers glove and it wasnt to bad.

Trust me when I say this, the Reyes sparring gloves are absolute pillows compared to the grants.

You know I've been interested in purchasing the Grant Pro Training gloves but with the intent of using them more for pad work and heavy bag work. I have the Ringside IMF lace up gloves that I spar in. The problem I have is that I don't like any of the bag gloves that I've purchased and/or tried. There is either not enough wrist support or the glove itself is to small and uncomfortable (I've checked the sizes to make sure too). So to whoever owns the Grant Pro Training gloves do you recommend them for the purpose I plan on using them for?

If you have the patience to lace them up they should do wonderfully.

i just bought the green grant training gloves. someone said that real grant gloves have red lining only. that is false. if you get blue, green or yellow it has white lining. My gloves are fresh- really firm with good wrist support. people complain about the gloves seeming heavy? I got grant 16 oz and they seem really light to me! I am used to the heavier ringside imf velcro gloves that i have in 18oz.

I spared in my ringside today, then broke in the new grant pro gloves on the bags for a bit, then tried on an older pair of red grants that my friend has and they are REEALLLY broken in. Overall- packs a firm punch, feels light, great wrist support, and people say it hurts to get hit by it, but I will find out when i spar someone from another gym. we use 18's in house and 16 against outside guys.

for the guy asking if they're cool to do bag work in- i never use "bag gloves" i prefer to use my 18ozs for everything and will now mix it up with these new grant bad boys. the guys who compete already in my gym (i haven't had my first fight yet) use the actual amateur gloves on the bags sometimes before a fight, but bag gloves to me don't offer wrist support (like you said) and are extra money, so **** it...

I actually prefer laceups. Good deal.

Right on man. I think I'm gonna get a white pair. For some reason white gloves look so bad ass to me but green is definitely my next choice if I can't get white for some reason.

ringside only has green and yellow in 16 oz as far as i know, and ordering from grant directly is worse- they have nothing in 16oz i believe. grant and ringside are mad backordered- til like october i think. i figure green was much sicker than yellow, plus pacman spars in all green, so thats dope. im white, so people are gonna assume im irish now, i guess, haha. thats all good. the irish are cool wit me! cheers bro.

I noticed the ones with the red interior last longer! the interior lasts longer that is. Check your gloves padding on the inside. Im talking about the padding on the upper part of the glove. Check it good from the inside and make sure its really really stitched on there because the ones I had to go through came in barly stitched and i went through 3 of them and at the end I said **** GRANT PRO TRAINING GLOVES!

its not uncommon for glove lining to rip and/or get beat up/broken in over time, though it sounds like yours were defective or something... that sucks. mine seem VERY well made though and I really dont anticipate them ripping anytime soon...


as for the gloves, i have had mine for about a week now and have used them to work out in 4 times. here's my review and what i have experienced with them....

i usually tape over my wraps for added wrist support (with my velcro IMFs for example) I found that when I taped over my wraps, the Grants seemed too tight and hurt a little.

then the next couple of times, I just wrapped my hands- no tape. WOOWWWW! these gloves are freaking amazing. Perfect wrist support- no need for tape. They feel sooo good. no wrist or knuckle pain and they pack a punch. not to mention, grants look soooo sick. they dont feel heavy. they feel like 16z (which they are), slightly lighter than my 18z (the aforementioned imfs). if anything, they feel lighter than 16. they are really well-made with great padding.

i got an all green set (not including headgear) with the large green pro cup. after the humungous "butt straps" were altered- a perfect fit. everyone in the gym thought that **** was hot and even though we don't usually spar in-house with less than 18z, one of the two best heavies let me spar him with the 16z cuz I was so excited to use 'em while he used 22z (basically sock-n-boppers) to even things up. they felt amazing in sparring.... I love grant man and can't recommend these gloves enough....
