10 oz Gloves for Bag and Padwork?

I'm not really a believer in having to much support or cushioning. I think it can give a false sense stability in your punch. Also what happens if you have to wack someone without gloves? I am a massive fan of old school horse hair mitts. I have found them to be one of the only gloves that don't start breaking up after a few sessions.

You still wacking people........... Must be hard to wack people with social distancing
 
The easiest way to do more damage with a punch is not to increase force, but to increase the density of the projectile (fist). I like to use the rock and the sponge analogy. Doesn't matter how much force you put behind the sponge, it's still a sponge, a rock on the other hand...
It's all about the way force imparts. This why a headbutt is so dangerous, the force doesn't dissipate the same. Damage is proportionate to how long force is applied to the target.

That's why I like to carry a large lump of depleted uranium around with me............ I don't need to use condoms anymore because of it and it's really great having a third nipple.......

Not to be to personal, but how old are you and how bad is the arthritis? I went through a lot of knuckle pain for the first few years of boxing, and have broken knuckles. I don't suffer any hand pain these days and I hit the bag with mitts and no wraps (rips shit out of my knuckles though). Just saying there is a chance your knuckles will recover, and I am a big believer in conditioning the hands as much as possible.

It’s actually the joints of my fingers. It’s a pretty common bjj injury as you see those guys taping their fingers. And my wrist

I have heard bjj and judo is hell on the fingers. I have mostly on done no gi, and most of my hand injuries are from punching. I don't have much experience with different brands of gloves, but I think it's a bit like buying shoes. It's not always easy finding ones you like, and they don't come cheap.

Yeah I’ve been reading reviews online and the 10 oz winning is what I’m gonna go with.

That type of injury is huge in judo and gi but I actually don’t train in the gi at all and haven’t for maybe over 3 years. So it’s basically just arthritis like old people have lol

I mostly like mitts because they hold up longer. I can't bring myself to spend big money, just to destroy them in a few weeks.
 
One recommendation, if your going to spend big money on gloves, make sure the bag you are hitting isn't too hard, unless you like replacing gloves.

The trail of buggered dog corpse's alone should have been enough to find him, let alone the random boxing bags and pillows he leaves lying around. .....
