I personaly use fight gloves or the thin bag gloves. The important think is to be able to lock my fist very well. I think there are where many injuries are made. For example the amateur green hills or adidas, in order to close your fist you must squeeze so much. And in the moment where your hands are tired and you punch with an open hand... uff. Usualy for all my gloves regardless of bag or sparring I look at 2 main things can I open my hand well (so as to be able to graple) and can I close my fist completely, really curl my fingers in to avoid hand injuries, It is indeed a careful balance. What do you think of this Chris?

[@Proamboxingequipment]

I agree entirely, amateur type gloves are made with liquid foam moulds and far too thick to form a proper fist, junior boxers tend to have to hit with an open hand and this causes injuries and you are right a good protective pro glove is a good option. If you use our gloves, you will see all these points are covered

I got your Club Range gloves in blue recently! Great gloves, I'm going to start bringing it to the gym next week, but I was wondering about the laminated cover for the padding on gloves. I saw your video on the construction of boxing gloves, showing the inside of Prize Ring gloves to have a plastic cover, and I also read the description of the new horsehair competition gloves, is this a common practice within the glove industry?

[@Proamboxingequipment]

different brands, if good quality will have their own ways of construction method, some will use the plastic bag type to make a tight fit when the foam id pushed inside the outer leather, so it is easy to slide inside. Most brands have a favourite supplier, all make in a similar way, the " cheaper" factories will copy older ways of construction, the old way horse hair gloves were made are like our older gloves, some still use this way because they do not know any other way through lack of experience, eventually they will all copy the way we make them as it is evolution, someone will get their hands on a pair of our gloves and pass it to a factory to copy, this has happened to us for many years, being the only boxing people who run a brand like this, we have a better insight how to improve equipment than the rest. We recently ranked as one of the best in horse hair fight gloves on Fit2box, you will see most of the big name brands rank far lower than us on his site, because they have not caught up yet and see if you agree with his rankings, its a good site and TH-cam show

@@Proamboxingequipment I see, I’m 15 and I’m really interested in glove craftsmanship and I might try making gloves in the future once I get a job to buy materials, by the way, do the Club Range gloves use 3+ layers of foam or only two? I heard that multilayer means 3 or more and padding that isn’t multilayer is just 1 or 2, which is apparently the minimum. Also are the gloves injected foam? I’m confused with terminology. Thanks.

​@@HighGuarder multi layer is minimum 3 layers of foam, injection moulded, is a hard mould shaped like a glove with liquid foam poured into it, when it hardens it will be a complete gloves shaped piece of foam, not really hard wearing enough and used for cheaper gloves and amateur competition gloves

@@chrisfirth8610 thanks for the clarification, really interesting learning about glove construction. is it possible for you to make another video about boxing glove construction but in more depth? thanks for the reply

[@chrisfirth8610]

​@HighGuarder maybe in the future we can go in depth on construction yes

[@mikeymediaworks1297]

can we get the bag ultimate glove in lace up?

[@Proamboxingequipment]

the new pro bag glove is due to be ready for sale at the end of this year, in velcro and lace, it will be a hybrid of both our fight glove and 12oz

I’ll buy your gloves if you replace the battery of your smoke detector

[@Proamboxingequipment]

its not the smoke alarm, I think the noise is Alibaba notifications on my phone, Chinese suppliers messaging me all the time
