Question
Hi i would like to know can i use my regular 16oz windy boxing gloves on my punching bag, is there a chance i can rip my gloves because my friend had tko glove theyre CHEAP and it ripped while punching the bag
HI Jonathon,
I don't really know what you mean by "windy boxing gloves" and if it is a BRAND NAME, I am unfamiliar with it.
It is always possible to rip your training gloves on a heavybag, particular if you "slide" the glove on the bag leather by mis-hitting or poor contact. Try and hit squarely and don't over punch, or swing wildly. If you are a beginner, learn proper punching form.
good luck with your equipment.
Sincerly,
Alan Kahn
