The rough texture could be very tough on your sparring partners. It's a complete non-issue if they're only for bag work though.
If it's on ebay, we will know.
I'm liking the snakeskin, looks like the new in thing.
Not really. Shevlin was doing the same thing 5-10 years ago and people used to buy their snakeskin/aligator gloves and post pictures here before they shut down. Fine as long as you're collecting, but for boxing purposes it's kind of silly.

Don't let Lars see this. lol
My bad. ;-)Gonz you are too serious at times, you completely missed the joke :icon_cry2
After everything is said and done, it will have been 8 weeks. Seeing the pictures, I'm thinking it will be worth it.

Totally understand the terrible situation with Topboxer's father (my condolences again), though I was extremely frustrated at times when communicating with Bill. I completely get it that unavoidable situations come up, but when estimates go from 4 weeks to 8 weeks, I just want consistent communication.
Can't wait to try these out and hopefully purchase more in the future!
I had the chance to hit these mitts at the gym today. Holy unbelievable. Seriously.
My brother picked these up thinking they'd be great, and I was totally against the idea. Having hit and held them for two rounds, I'm completely sold. I've owned mitts from the majority of manufacturers out there including Title, Ringside, Fairtex, etc. Without exaggerating, none of those other mitts are even in the ballpark of these mitts.
I'm already kicking around ideas for my order, and I might have to grab a chest protector while I'm at it. I never thought I'd be all over Bill's gear, but the work he and Top Boxer have done is insanely impressive.
They new orders are in!
My gloves/mitts are there and looking great so far. Looks like every one has upped the ante and created really cool looking gloves. One of them even almost looks like mine:/

thanks for your understanding about delays ,
i have a strong feeling that you would like the mitts.
i think you will have them in a day as they have been dispatched to your address.
thanks for your patience and sorry for the wait.
Without exaggeration, they are the single best pair of mitts I've ever used. 100% worth the wait and the money, several of the other trainers who own the gym with me (like my brother who posted earlier) are going to be ordering mitts as well.
Exceptional quality of product, I'll be picking up several pairs of gloves and other coaching gear from Bill and Topboxer after this experience. THANK YOU!
Hows the Pop on them CS, and protection? Your style of mitts and mine are pretty different although I think the overall concept of principle remains the same.
Im curious on your thoughts and how is the stiffness of the padding both initially and currently?
