Boxing Pads - Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between hook & jab pads and focus mitts?

The terms are often used interchangeably. Hook and jab pads typically have a curved design and larger strike surface, making them ideal for practicing hooks, jabs, and uppercuts. They're designed for the trainer to wear and move dynamically, simulating realistic boxing scenarios.

Why are curved pads better than flat pads?

Curved pads allow trainers to hold their hands in a more natural, anatomically correct position, reducing strain on wrists and forearms during extended sessions. The curve also better absorbs punches and enables more realistic striking angles for hooks and uppercuts.

How much padding do I need?

For general training and fitness classes, 35mm padding is sufficient. For heavy hitters, advanced fighters, or professional coaching, opt for 50mm padding or gel-enhanced systems like the Exigo Pro or Carbon Claw Recoil ranges for maximum hand protection.

Are genuine leather pads worth the extra cost?

If you're training regularly or using pads commercially, yes. Genuine leather pads like the Carbon Claw Recoil RB-7, Exigo Pro, or Boxing Mad models offer superior durability, lasting years longer than synthetic alternatives. For occasional home use or beginners, quality PU leather pads provide excellent value.

What's the dome palm grip feature?

The dome palm grip is a raised, tennis ball-shaped area inside the pad that your palm wraps around. This allows for a more natural hand position, reducing stress on forearm muscles and providing better control during strikes. Most quality pads include this feature.

How do I prevent hand fatigue when holding pads?

Choose pads with proper wrist padding, dome palm grips, and anti-slip technology. The Carbon Claw and Exigo ranges excel here. Also ensure the pads fit properly with secure Velcro straps, and take breaks during intensive sessions.

Can beginners use these pads?

Absolutely! Pads are suitable for all levels. Beginners benefit from the BBE CLUB, BBE FS, or Hatton Boxing ranges which offer excellent protection and are easy to use. As skills develop, you can progress to premium ranges.

How do I clean and maintain boxing pads?

• Wipe down after each use with a damp cloth and mild disinfectant

• Allow to air dry completely before storage

• Never machine wash or submerge in water

• Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight

• For leather pads, occasionally treat with leather conditioner

• Antimicrobial linings help reduce odour buildup

What's the difference between the Carbon Claw ranges?

• Recoil RB-7: Premium genuine hide leather, maximum durability, professional grade

• Aero AX-5: Hybrid leather/synthetic, lightweight, flexible, excellent for coaching

• Impact GX-3: Entry-level from Carbon Claw, synthetic, great value, solid performance

Do these pads come as pairs?

Yes, all hook and jab pads are sold as pairs since trainers need one for each hand.

Are these suitable for kickboxing and Muay Thai?

Standard hook and jab pads work for punches in any striking discipline. For kicks, knees, and elbows, consider the Exigo Pro Curved Thai Pads which are specifically designed for Muay Thai training with larger strike surfaces and reinforced construction.

What size are these pads?

Most hook and jab pads are one-size-fits-all, designed to fit most adult hands. The adjustable Velcro straps ensure a secure fit. Typical dimensions range from 26-31cm length x 19-20cm width.

How long will these pads last?

Lifespan depends on usage frequency and material:

• Genuine leather (commercial use): 3-5+ years with proper care

• Genuine leather (home use): 5-10+ years

• PU leather (commercial use): 1-3 years

• PU leather (home use): 3-5 years

Premium ranges like Exigo offer lifetime warranties on construction defects.

What's antimicrobial foam and why does it matter?

Antimicrobial foam and linings contain treatments that inhibit bacterial growth, reducing odours and improving hygiene. This is especially important for commercial gyms or shared equipment. BBE and Carbon Claw ranges feature this technology.
