Review on ๐ŸฅŠ Ultimate Training Partner: Everlast Thai Pad (Black) by Bob Vulpes

Revainrating 5 out of 5

I like a good base. Boxing

Just started teaching martial arts and needed a pad to punch. I wanted a focusing glove but couldn't find one in a good price range. I stumbled across this and decided to buy it mainly because it's flat rather than curved and it's open at the back so nobody sticks their sweaty hands into a glove like a mitten. up and hold and quickly throw down for reaction practice. I often use the straps on my back as a second handle. I don't understand why so many reviews had issues with the size of the lining, it really isn't small. The actual size I got was 15" long, 7 1/2" wide at the top, 6 1/2" wide at the bottom, and 3 1/2" thick, so overall it's great for knee kicks or whatnot always. I would call this a good medium sized matte or even a half sized matte as I compare it to a focusing glove. I think it's versatile and useful for everything, definitely not what I would call "small" or "kid sized" like some other reviewers have said. It's smaller than the so-called "real Thai carpet" but I don't care and I find them too expensive and useless for anything other than stepping on because the carpet is too thick.
