Hey guys, I have started boxing in my free time to stay in shape, I don't have plans to start fighting yet. I also have some joint issues with my hands, my pointing finger doesn't tuck in all the way when I make a fist. Usually when you make a fist there is a flat edge created, well mine is flat mostly with the one finger sticking out a little past my middle knuckle. So when i punch the bag my finger gets pushed in to where it's supposed to be when I make a fist, and this kills. I have been trying to avoid hitting the bag with this finger straight on, but it results in an incorrect punch most of the time. I figured after a while I would just beat the finger into place and all would be good but nothing yet. It's getting to the point where after 5-10 minutes I get discouraged because every other straight right makes me half to stop for a second and shake my hand becuase it hurts. I do wear hand wraps but with my lower fingers favored and wrapped more trying to level my hand out but its not working so well. So if anyone has any advice on how to stretch this finger so that it can join the rest of my fingers in a fist it would be a life saver. What i´ve bin thinking about doing is punching somthing really hard, a pretty hard surface with the pointer finger landing on the surface , breaking it. Then push it back in with the other fingers and wait for it to heal, this sounds very brutal but i see no other way. Do you know any way for me to fix this problem? and what do you think about me breaking it?
