How To Buy Good Hand Wraps

Are you eager to get into the gym and learn how to punch like a professional haymaker? Well, that is a great idea and an excellent way to get rid of all the negative energy, but the only burden that comes on your way now is that you know nothing about fighting. Do not worry, because there is the first time for everything and learning how to throw hay-makers as a pro is not an exception too.

So, let's start from the very beginning. Before you transfer to stage number two, which is mastering the punching technique, first you need to successfully pass stage number one. And stage number one is equipping yourself with all the essentials fighting requires. One of them are the hand wraps, for sure.

Since you are a novice and we do not want you to make the wrong selection nor go for an overpriced hand wraps, be invited to read on and find out how to choose the right wraps for you.

Understand The Different Styles

Wherever you will be looking for your future wraps, you will come across to two main styles: the 'traditional' style and the 'Mexican' style. If hesitating, we suggest you to go for the Mexican style. Be informed that what makes both styles different between each other is the material they are made out of. Thus, traditional wraps are made out of cotton, while the Mexican ones are usually a blend of spandex and semi-elastic cotton. The reason why we recommend you to 'go Mexican' is because these wraps stick better to your hands and they are not likely to loose as traditional wraps are prone to.

Go Long

Mexican-style hand wraps are usually much longer than traditional ones and that is perfect for beginners like you. However, if length is a feature that really matters to you and you prefer shorter lengths, then go for traditional-style wraps. Keep in mind that the shorter the hand wraps, the less effective your hay-makers will be, as wraps won't be long enough to wrap your hand and knuckles.

Make Sure To Buy Hand Wraps, NOT Slip-On Hand Wrap Gloves

This is one of the common, yet major mistakes novices make. No offense, but slip-on hand wrap gloves are nothing, but a joke. Get yourself a nice, quality Mexican-style hand wraps that will give you way better and tighter wrap, so you will feel more protected.
