Can i use training gloves to hit the heavy bag?

Question

Can I use them? And which brands do you prefer?

Answer 1

IMO, the best glove to use is the hook and loop wrist secure GRANT super bag glove. Go to GRANTBOXING.com and do yourself a favor and go  for the Grant. You won't be sorry. I've used 20 oz. gloves on the bag. Remember, you're there to build punching power, by working the bag like an opponent. Get in close with the big gloves on and work the body. builds stamina and don't forget to work on that short left hook to the liver region. It'll pay off.

Answer 2

Yes you can. Over time the foam will begin to compress, so you may want to use a different set of gloves if you spar. I prefer Reyes. They're expensive but worth it, if you plan on continued use of the gloves over a long period of time.
