    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.

      I just bought a pair of white MS-600 yesterday. I'll try them out and let you know what I think man.

            Should be here Thursday. Reviews I've read say they have great wrist protection and are not the pillows that everyone says they are.

                Yea, just use good form and don't go balls out. They're not the most protective 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.

                      Do you wrap between your fingers? If not, it might help prevent any movement in your fingers. I never used to, but I tore a ligament in my knuckle about a month ago. I started wrapping between my fingers and it made a massive difference.
