Question for the guys who have owned Winning gloves (not just those who are taking a guess). Is there really a significant degree of protection over the standard favorites (IMF tech, etc) when hitting the bag? I've owned and tried a few types and my favorite so far is the Title Black series bag gloves (dense padding that absorbs impact and still has a little pop). The only problem with the Black is that they are heavier than they are rated so my 12oz are actually close to 15oz and if I want a larger glove with more padding, I will be getting weighed down. My hands are always a bit achy from hitting the bag and I'm concerned about the long-term effects (10, 20 years from now). It's not a matter of form or the way I wrap, it's just that the impact of hitting the bag leaves a soreness in hand bones/joints (I'm very tall with super tiny joints). So, if the Winning are really going to save my hands in the long-term, I'll buy them. If it's a marginal thing, I'd rather not waste the money as I think they're ugly and my coach is going to think I'm insane for dropping $350 on gloves.

IMF Tech Training Gloves: Elastic Cuff
I was recently given a pair of 16 oz IMF tech training gloves. I was just wondering if any of you have had any experience using them, and what your thoughts were.
