Windy Muay Thai Gloves

[KingDosia]

Thanks, I guess I'll rule Windy out of the equation, but I have heard so many mixed reviews for Grant, some saying they are awesome, the best gloves, and some like you who say they are either a big pillow, or impossible to make a fist in... I just read boxingCPs post on Reyes gloves at ringside... do you think it could be something similar, that the bad reviews are the gloves from Ringside, the good ones from Grant? Or are they most likley the same gloves?

Reyes are mexican gloves like the Grants. They have a lot less padding in the knuckles. And I have cut a lot of training partners with those gloves. I switched to Grant and wish I would have a long time ago. You feel the punch its not a pillow, Not at all. And MIne felt almost pre broken in or somthing when I got them. They have excelent protection for the knuckles. The Reyes gloves are well constructed, but to me feel like rocks.

My 16oz. inventory sells out rather quickly. These gloves are great for, well, muay thai - the only issue is that when new they hit very hard (for sparring) but will break in over time. On that note, best muay thai gloves I have ever used, and own them in both 12oz. and 16oz. myself.

On that note, we're going to be slowly breaking into the Boxing scene. Would you guys be interested in some sort os boxingscene.com user discount?

Simply put, yes.

Thanks to you and to everyone else. I've decided i'm going to get Grant training or Reyes training gloves. I have short, stubby fingers, but a big hand overall, my palm makes up for the shortness of my fingers. I have a pretty big fist, and am mostly a defensive fighter but pack a decent punch. I was about to order the Grant until I read about them not being good for short, stubby fingers by Pork Chop, and I read all about his great reviews of Grant. I don't need an extremly rough glove as I'm just going to be sparring with them, don't want to hurt anyone in sparring. What do you think I should get, taking into account the info above.

Knowing what I do today I'd say Get the Grants or Title's I don't opose the Reyes gloves I do have a pair, Use them mostly on the bags and mitts. I use My grants and everlasts while sparing.

A lot of thai gloves, like Fairtex, have this problem- they don't build the glove with the assumption that the thumb will want to bend & clench with the fist.

In general, Thai gloves are not designed like Japanese gloves. Thai gloves are meant to have a minimum amount of material covering the palm and are meant to be easy to "open" so that you can catch a kick by scooping it up.

It's specifically Japanese gloves that put all of the padding over the knuckles.

I agree. That basically is the principle behind their design.

I'm sure everyone would love a discount.

For my own personal Thai glove ranking I'd have to put Twins at the top (velcro problems notwithstanding) and ThaiSmai just below them.
