I'd avoid Grants. Their standard gloves are actually pretty stiff. Pros work hand problems get the custom orthopedic types but the notion that Grants are soft is false.
Winning are infinitely better when it comes to hand health. They're expensive but as a musician, they're the only training gloves I'll use anymore. I can play guitar without issue even after heavy sessions on the bag.

I wouldn't use the same gloves you're going to use on a heavy bag for sparring..you wouldn't be doing your sparring partners a favor at all.
Grants are solid but over-priced, their focus is strictly on fight gloves...and they do a wonderful job sponsoring fighters...but you almost NEVER see any of their fighters actually train with bigger Grant gloves except for media day...that should tell you something. Winning is king and worth every penny..yet you don't need to spend that much.
Look at Rival, grab one of their heavy bag gloves and one for sparring. You literally can't go wrong with any of their stuff, - as solid as they come and the best **** for the buck IMO. The founder/owner is a cutman..so he doesn't play around, even with their cheaper gear.
Everlast is great, but their quality only really picks up on their higher end gear when it comes to their gloves.
Title has way too complicated of a glove lineup, hard to say what you will get.
I think Rival is the smartest/safest choice.Last edited by JaBfromTokyo; 12-20-2018, 08:54 PM.

Titles are "too complicated"??
They have plenty of great gloves, esp for beginners. Their line up is no more convoluted than Rival, who are always on one gimmick or another. That said, Rival mostly makes solid performers in the $80 to $130 range.
Pros use Winnings because they use their hands much more and have the money to spend. I don't recommend them for hobbyists unless they have hand health concerns. Beginners who don't know proper for will an develop bad habits using Winning because they don't punish sloppy technique as much (you don't feel it when you strike wrong).
