I haven't really ****ed with the double end bag too much. I feel like when I've watched people use it they don't really bring their hands back to their face and are potentially exacerbating/creating bad habits.
I did just get a new pair of Rival gloves in, going to use them and see if that helps with the aches and pains of the hands at all.

Originally posted by OctoberRed View PostThose are very good. My buddy swears by them.
I worked mitts, heavy bag and sparred 7 rds in a row (usually only 2-3 in a row then take a rd off but we were light on people sparring).
So my advice to OP is get a better pair of gloves.
I ordered some winning handwraps as I've heard they have a much smaller profile and should fit into my gloves easier.
The gloves had amazing pop hitting the bag, they are a bit wide but it just means I have a bit more of a guard than my previous gloves which is nice for sparring.

Even going in with my right hand still a little sore, the difference is extremely noticeable. No hand pain today at all in either hand, no hand pain yesterday in my left and just a tiny bit of soreness in my right.

I've heard that the velcro is usually the first to go on the glove I copped, so will prob upgrade instead of trying to duct tape them or some ****.
