The Twins cuff is stiff but you need big forearms/wrists otherwise the wrist support will suck.

Do Boons accomodate for long fingers/thumbs okay? I found 16oz Reyes to have too wide a hand compartment. Also tried my friends Windy Prolines, hand compartment was waaaaay too wide in those at the knuckles. I have long and thin hands, long fingers/thumbs. shihtzu has talked me out of the plus size tokushus, lol. Already had a couple pairs of the standard ones.

Task, I've been meaning to ask you about the Twins' wrist support since you have a lot of experience (more than me anyway lol) with Thai gloves. I'm still interested in getting a pair but I keep hearing 2 polar opposite opinions--some people say Twins gloves offer no wrist support, while other people say it's excellent. Is it an issue of forearm and wrist thickness? I have no issues with my Windys, but I can imagine a person with thin wrists and forarms hating them (the ectomorph).

Twins don't "flop"--the red flag for bad wrist support--do they?

I like the Twins wrist support. To me it feels very solid when put together with a proper wrap. Have had no problems at all. I cant say I have big wrists and forearms.....but maybe I do compared to other people.

I was actually interested in the Pro Lines. It doesn't surprise me that they're wide though--my Windy TG 5s are incredibly wide.

But honestly man, if you have long fingers, the Boons aren't going to work for you. I have wide Medium-sized hands, with what I assume to be average finger length and my middle finger presses to the edge of the hand compartment. Overtime (a year) a hole has developed in the liner, right where my middle finger touches the hand compartment. It's not a deal breaker for me simply because everything else about the glove is great, but it's something you should know.
 
Tbh Ive not found any glove made in Thailand to ever be suitable for my fingers, apart from 16oz Twins. this removes Boon from the options for me, cheers

These are the 16 oz. Twins Specials - Pink Flourish I bought for my girlfriend. I will review them later, but they do look nice up close.
 
I like the fancy design Twins. Do the graphics on those hold up better than the Top Kings?

Yea, she will like them. Much better than the new Butterfly Yokkao's.

I do not know how well the graphics will hold up in comparison to the Top Kings as I have never had a pair to compare them with.

those are sweet, I have been eying those for a while (not that color), I take it you like them?

Thanks bud!

I just got them today. I love them! comfortable and lightweight. I haven't decided if I want to use them in the gym. They are so pretty, I don't want to scuff em up.

Don't know what color your looking to get. I've been eyeing them for a while too. I got them over the weekend at CCS for 55.00 shipped. I couldn't pass at that price. They had the white and black, and black and reds.
 
Why would you use those at the gym? Those models are for casual dress and are not a proper tennis shoe.
 
They are comfortable, lightweight, and the sole is similar to a boxing shoe/boot.

Very cool pics of the gloves in production. Nice Grants also. Wish you lived in the U.S.
 
Mino, It'd be awesome if you can do a comparative review of Bill's gloves and Grant in equivalent sizes!
 
I would but the Grants are going to be out the door before 16oz Beaulieus get here unfortunately.
 
I like the wine color with gold and the white accents it nicely!
