Ill post a bit about my bgv9 experience.
I started with these gloves after spraining my wrist wearing another glove. At the time, I was training pretty hard and didnt want to take the time off. Where I live I am fairly limited to what I can get in a timely fashion (I can get anything I want but it takes time), At the time, I was wearing the gloves with terrible wrist support and I tried to use my go-to bgv1s. I really like the bgv1 as a basic glove but I wanted a bit more wrist protection and with limited options, I came across the bgv9.
I got mine in full red and in 160z. At first they felt really different than what I was used to but after 30-40 rounds on bags and pads they were feeling great, My wrist also managed to heal even though I didnt back off on the training (if anything, I ramped the training up). I used this glove almost strictly for bag/pad, I rarely if ever sparred with them but it did happen a few times. These quickly became my go to gloves for my 3-4 sessions a week of MT, during the time I used these I had zero issues with injures, no wrist or finger pain, nothing, it was great.
When I went on my last trip to Thailand, I took just one pair of gloves and it was the bgv9, they performed great even though they werent new. The only issues I have with them is the surface of the leather is cracking which isnt happening to that extent on any of my other gloves.
Anyways, I really like these and while they are nothing fancy, they still are my go-to bag/pad glove. If Im taking training and sparring gloves, the bgv9 goes along, If im heading to they gym to lift and plan to hit the bag for a few rounds afterwords, the bgv9 goes. If Im getting ready for a smoker or doing private sessions and will be hitting pads for an hour....the bgv9 does the job.
I have a lot fewer gloves right now, Ive been getting rid of everything I dont use, all I have is:
-winning ms600
-hayabusa gsp
-bgv1
-bgv9
-c17 2.0
-twins bgl1
The bgv9s do most of the work.
