I use a pair of “bad” gloves for the bag and you are right, I cannot hit hard or without the proper technique. For occasional and rare sparring I used 10 oz gloves until I spar with one guy who used the same size… After that I decided that 12oz must be minimum. 😊 I will remember your quote “perfect practice makes perfect”. Blind like, as always
Honestly my friend I used to hate those type of gloves for years until it dawn on me that they are actually advanced gloves that make you throw punches cleaner, better, faster and force you to make your technique as good as it can be brother 👍🥊
Thanks coach for the explanation...it really changed my perspective for using the cheap gloves. I will buy a set for practising techniques. Thanks for the enlightening.
We always used bag gloves for all our training, although when using a heavy bag, we'd use hand wraps but apply most of the wrap to the wrist for support with very little over the knuckles. Sounds crazy with hindsight but we'd also use the same gloves for sparring.
With the benefit of hindsight, I'd definitely not recommend sparring with bag gloves under any circumstances. This happened many decades ago, a time when macho culture was prevalent in pretty much all gyms. Although this attitude probably still persists in some places, hopefully the coaches in most gyms have become more enlightened.
Trust me mate that macho culture still exists , a lot of gym are full of alpha dick swingers fuelled by the same type of coaches with something to prove , I’ve been on a mission to change that for years , I don’t even let people like that join my gym I tell them to go somewhere else mate
