Become Lightning Fast with a 12oz Precision Glove
Speed wins the fight. A 12oz glove is the right tool to sharpen your reflexes and hand speed. It feels much closer to a fight glove than a heavy training glove. We built the Hit N Move 12 oz boxing gloves as the ideal choice for pad work and fast bag drills. You can get more out of your boxing sessions when you train for speed and precision.
Why Train with a Lighter Glove?
Training in heavy gloves builds endurance and strength, but training in a 12 ounce boxing glove sharpens timing. This weight allows you to move your hands closer to real match speed. It helps you get used to the timing of landing shots at high speed, something that is difficult to replicate with a heavier glove.
Using a lighter glove on a heavy bag can increase impact on your hands. We addressed this by using our signature high-density padding in our 12 oz gloves. You get the compact size of a light glove, with shock absorption closer to that of a heavier glove. This lets you hit the bag while reducing sting.
How It Is Engineered for Speed?
-
The Pop on the Pads: When you use these gloves to hit the mitts, it gives you a satisfying and sharp sound. This auditory feedback helps you and your coach to know that your shots are landing the way that they should with a snap. It serves as proof of a good punch.
-
Technical Sparring: While 16oz is the standard for heavy sparring, these 12 oz sparring gloves are useful for specific drills. They are for smaller weight classes or light and technical touch-sparring where speed matters more than power.
-
Secure Wrist Support: Even in a light glove, a locked-in fit is essential. Our design helps keep your wrist aligned when you land fast punches at unexpected angles on the bag. This helps reduce the risk of injury when training for speed.
-
Aerodynamic Shape: These gloves are slim and cut through the air. This helps you practice slipping punches and keeping a tight guard without the bulk of a conditioning glove getting in your way. You can move faster and see better.
Speed. Snap. Precision.
Speed is a skill that must be practiced. These gloves are a powerful tool for refining technique and timing. If you are looking for 12-ounce boxing gloves, this is the right choice to prepare your hands for the pace and demands of a real fight.
