winning Knuckle Guards Ng2

Was having knuckle soreness with just my wraps. Found out about these and ordered. Place them under my wraps and they are fantastic. I do bag work often 4-5 times a week and these will be surely to help keep my knuckles protected. Invest in protection for your hands, they make us money!

Short answer, after doing some research online these pads seemed like a good off the shelf way to add a little extra protection to your hands. There are home remedies that you can try but my doctor recommended I pick up a gel pad after seeing him for knuckle pain. They seem to be really nice quality and I fully intend to repurchase them when these eventually break down or wear out. I always wrap up my hands well and use high quality gloves but recently, for whatever reason, I had been having minor knuckle pain that got worse with a new set of gloves, even after a break in period. These pads resolved that issue immediately and there is no longer even a minor ache after a long bag session. I highly recommend these pads if you are looking for a good way to add some extra protection for your hands. My only qualm with them is that they can sometimes be tricky to get in just the right spot when wrapping up, definitely place them lower on your knuckles as they will slide up and back into place once wrapped and in your glove.

I do a lot of heavy bag punching and mitt work at my boxing club. For the past year I've been experiencing swollen, stiff and painful hands. At first I didn't know it was from the boxing bc it had never happened before. I thought maybe I broke something, but then when the other hand did the same, I thought maybe it was some underlaying condition. the owner of the club suggested I buy new gloves (I WAS overdue) and that seemed to help, but sure enough about a week later, my hands were immobile. So painful I took day off from work. So the other trainers at the club suggested I get knuckle guards. I googled them and these popped up on my search along with some youtube video reviews. So I purchased these and used them the first day I got them. My hands were sore the next day, but not immobile. Since then - it's been about a month now?? - I haven't experienced anything and am back to boxing at my regular schedule instead of skipping days to allow my hands to heal. I would suggest you youtube how to wrap with these. That helped tremendously. if you do it wrong, this little extra padding will make it impossible to fit your gloves on (I wear 16oz glove). Great product.

They work well for me

Overall good impact absorption and knuckle protection which may in the long run keep hand problems at bay and extend the padding life of your gloves. The downside is that unlike the bulletproof construction of Winning gloves and protective gear, these start looking ratty after a single day at the gym. Fuzz and thread coming loose, the gel insert also molded to my knuckles after one use -- not sure that's a good thing. Other (long time) users may know what the actual life of the NG-2 is better than I do though. As far as comments on the guard shifting around under hand wraps; I haven't had an issue. I start with the guard right below my top knuckles and by the time i'm wrapped and laced up the guard moves up into its proper place and stays there.

When I first started boxing as just a workout, all I had were gloves, wraps, and a bag. The problem was that the wraps and gloves couldn't take in the force of impact all alone. Then, I found these guards, and I can say today that these were one of the best purchases I've made on Amazon, my knuckles are pain free and I can now comfortably hit my heavy bag for a couple rounds and not have to ice afterwards. Side note, if you have big hands the sizing of these may be a concern to you but you shouldn't really worry, my hands are pretty big and these fit fine under my wraps.

I've had 3 pairs of these Winning ng-2 knuckle guards and they are pricey but definitely worth it if you need to protect your knuckles. I've been boxing for 10 years and have 2 knuckle fractures. One from the heavy bag and one from the top of opponents head. They have never healed right and are sore a lot. I've used lots of methods of knuckle pads(toilet paper, sponge, gauze, sweat bands, title knuckle guards, etc.) and Winning are the best I've used. Take your time wrapping your hands with these though. It all depends on how you place them in your wraps. Youtube has great how to videos on these wraps to ensure proper placement when wrapping. They fit great in my 14oz winning gloves I use for bag and pad work. I don't use these when sparring. I recommend 2 pairs and rotate daily so the other can dry out. They do stink after awhile. I wash them with my hand wraps in a bag and let them air dry. I also think they help preserve the padding in your gloves too since it's almost doubled on the knuckles and absorbs the shock more. Hope this review helps.
