  • How are the Grant Pro Training Gloves???For Heavybag Work?

    Am planning on getting some of these, but am not sure if they are meant for heavy duty work on the bag? If anyone can comment I will gladly appreciate it and green k you.

    Or are the classic hook and loop ones better?

    I've heard Grants are very padded contrary to the style of other Mexican boxing gloves. Also aren't those for sparring? I'm sure you could use it for bag work as well but I hear sparring gloves break down faster on the bag. If you so spar with em you might wanna try the lace ups, I just got a pair of T*U Japanese Heat Seekers in lace ups and they are definitely more snug, will take a little bit to get used to though.

      thx for replying man.

      Ya the 1st ones are for sparring, but the lace up will always have stronger wrist support. Dunno yet, might go with the hook and loop, but I wanted to get everyone's opinion b4 I make my final decision.

      Sparring Gloves for us are provided by the Coach himself, he has a box full of old ringside 16oz.

      I will only use them for bag work, and mitts.

      I keep hearing they are very good on the padding, but I just want to make sure.

        Yeah thats what I hear about the padding, and from what I know a quality brand so you shouldn't have to worry too much. I also would like to know why sparring gloves usually come in lace up and hook and loop while bag gloves come in hook and loop and OCCASIONALLY lace ups lol, seems a bit weird.

          The Grant Super bag gloves (the ones you posted as hook & loop) are 12 oz and the best gloves I've ever had. They didn't break down in 3 years of regular use & I had to retire them for something *I* did to them, not due to wear and tear.

          The Training gloves are also some of the best gloves I've used, again they lasted around 3 years (although with less use) and I had to toss 'em after screwing 'em up with a bonehead move. I wouldn't worry about the training gloves breaking down right away - they take almost a month to break in, in the first place.

          Both gloves ship real hard and get softer over time.
          I didn't really notice a huge difference in the padding between the hook & loop & the training gloves to be honest - just that it was easier to open & close the palm with the training gloves.
          The super bag gloves came real snug too, training gloves were 16oz so a bit more roomy.
          Definitely have to wear wraps for every workout with the training gloves, i had space between my knuckles & the padding otherwise.

          i'm still waiting on training gloves i ordered around 3 weeks ago - back-ordered.

              One last question, when you JaB the bag, does it make that nice crisp snap noise? with either glove?


              Because the ones I have currently don't, and I am throwing it properly, my coach looks at me while am training too.

              The glove just doesnt make the sound though.

              I want them for at least a year, I wont mind spending another 100-170 bucks next year for another pair if they brake down.

              how did you mess them up if I may ask?

              thx man. I honestly think that they can at last at least a year no?

              My coach has a bunch of 16oz RS sparring gloves, he's getting a couple new ones next week, so I dont have to worry about using these in sparring.

                  I heard they better in comfortability than winning from many ppl except quality.

                  this is what got me interested in them.
