Review on ๐ŸฅŠ Enhance Your MMA Experience with Sanabul Core Series Advanced 7 oz Hybrid Sparring MMA Gloves by Adam Gray

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Insufficient padding and rough lining.

TLDR: Decent construction but rough inner fabric and not enough protection to handle heavy bags. Leaves bruises on ankles even with bandages underneath, abrasions and bruises if bandages are not used. These hybrid gloves feel decently made and are quite durable. I've tried this several times over the course of a month with fairly intense heavy bag workouts. I DO NOT RECOMMEND TRAINING WITH HEAVY BAGS. Light bumps are acceptable, maybe even with a softer bag like a Wavemaster or something, but a traditional heavy bag will quickly find your joints and bruise and/or blister through the rough lining, unless you're also wearing a throw. I used the large size with bandages underneath to protect the wrists and hands which fit nicely in a glove for my small male hands. However, one should not be too zealous in protecting the joints, since the space behind the fingers is quickly shrinking. I tried stuffing quick gel bandages underneath but individual fingers didn't interact well with fingers on it and it felt like trying to put a jacket over a thick Sherpa and the Sherpa rolled inward. Not managing to get enough protection even with increasing the size and stuffing extra bandages on the butt, I go back and look for either a boxing glove (which I was hoping to avoid) or maybe a more advanced version of this style, if Hayabusa, is of proportionally better quality because they have a high price.
