Double wrap?

[Aweless]

Well I can try the folding/taping over my knuckles. What I found interesting about your post chris was the comment about the gloves. I generally put my hand in and extend my fingers all the way to the end of the glove then curl "long hands" My gloves are Warrior Pro Bag Gloves - Leather from Title Boxing white on the inner, and black on the outer. Putting my hand in the glove my way my fingers tips are under the padding of the gloves tip. If I do it your way my fingers end at the end of the inner white before reaching the black padding at the end. I do feel a noticeable difference in how it feels. "tighter fist" I won't know how it will work till I test it with my right hand at the gym tonight. I think I may have been putting my hand too deep into the glove. What do you think?

Yeah I think that might be where problem is. The bar is there for a reason, and that is curling your fingers around it to make a good solid fist.

What's worst than a bruised knuckles is a broken hand. Being able to make a good fist will help protect the bones in your hands.

Well after wrapping my hands with your recommendations and holding the gloves different there is a very noticeable difference. I used one of my gyms lighter bags so I could test this. It work better than I would have suspected. I felt fairly good about it so I went to use our gyms newest bag "huge hard title bag" I went light and felt no pain. So I figured why not try a normal 1,2,3. No pain plus it sounds better. I decided to test my hook by doing a few hooks back to back. Works great, because even if I throw it wrong it doesn't hurt like before. My hand is still healing and I can throw a strong left with the new way without pain before/after the workout. Thanks for the help.

No one told me. Trainers just give ya a pair of gloves then say put them on. I figured you put your hand in as deep as ya could. After trying it the old way it's crazy that I use to punch the bag like that. With the old method my hand wasn't even really closed I'm surprised I never broke a bone "only bruised".

Have to thank ya guys again everything is just coming together better. I feel like I have better control of my gloves "I know that sounds strange since I'm holding them". This has made hitting the bag fun again. I just did another 4 rounds without even thinking about it since I don't feel anything when I hit so I can work on power/speed/tech.
