The Primetime / Gameness MMA Sparring Gloves Review.
I was in the market for a all around MMA sparring glove. I have bought a few different other brands but they just werent up to par. They fell apart, or the striking pad wasnt big enough, etc... I wanted to be able to hit and grapple without injuries, plain and simple. Well like you i tryed to do as much research as i could before spending my hard earned cash on a pair of gloves. After extensive reading and posting i found that the Primetime's looked like the best all around MMA sparring glove.
Today i recieved 4 pairs of Large Primetimes from Ron at SSF. Ron was very helpful and stayed in contact all the way through the shipping process. I will deffinetly be buying from him again. Thanks Ron... Anyway back to the review..
So I opened the box and put a pair on, instantly i noticed the great job they did on the wrist wrap. Most gloves just have 1 lil piece to hold at the end of the wrap but these gloves go all the way around. The 2 3/4 inch wrist band goes around the wrist 2 1/2 times and the velcro goes all the way.
Wrist Wrap:
The finger holes were very stiff at first but once i put them on and started working it in they felt nice. Off to the gym i went. Instantly i sold the other 3 pairs. They were the best gloves we have seen out there. I started working the bags, They were a lil stiff, so the padding over the knuckles started moving a lil because of the shape of the padding but once they were warmed up it hugged my knuckles pretty good. My hands are a little bit small as well. So the palm hole is a little larger than i like but it works. I may try a medium when i order more.
My hand :
Sparring, My sparring partner and I sparred with them for a few hours. Not full out but with some force. We have been using 16 oz. boxing gloves for awhile now. So it wasnt as soft as those but now we could actually do submissions realisticly. As for the size of the glove pad, I really didnt notice too much difference between these gloves and my competition gloves. It didnt get in the way as much as i thought.
Padding:
Comparison: UFC Style to PRIMETIMES
Overall i feel these are the best sparring gloves out there. Just like i have read everywhere else. I wouldnt hesitate recommending these to anyone. Hopefully this helped. Any questions just ask.
If anyone is in Vancouver BC or surrounding area or Canada for that matter... I will have a few pairs for sale. Just PM me. I also accept PAYPAL.
