I know the design but they also hold your hand in a way that favors palm first. 

I think you should buy different pads that you have confidence in. It should give you peace of mind and increase your overall confidence.

hi , on this subject i use the flexmeter writs guards, as i believe they provide the best protection .

the fact that they sponsor my team is funny i suppose , but have tried others in the past and for protection and longevity they really do work well , as others will tell you.


alpsgear.co.uk   is were you can buy them , and if you use promotion code         AA10     you will receive a generous 10% discount .

all of these wristguards have no finger protection...
I already used to have fingers on my wristguards 15 years ago and hell, am I glad I had those...
they saved me from all kinds of scrapings and splinters in my fingers & hands , so I would suggest triple eight hired hands,since these are about the only ones that have fingers...
and have the plastic inserts replaced by some alloy custom made ones; it's crap what they say about them having to be  a bit flexible ; I trashed several plastic inserts(yes they broke in half)but that problem was fixed after I had the alloy ones....

Hey folks, new to this bocking lark (ie haven't strapped them on yet until I get some proper protective gear, I'm pushing 40, a martial artist and I like my body unbroken!) so this info is really helpful, thanks.

Just to let you know, I tried that discount code at Alps Gear and it doesn't work any more. But on a hunch I put Flexmeter into Amazon, and there they were, being sold by Alps Gear, but (and this is the important bit) with FREE delivery! So that's like £4 off anyway.

So if you want to buy them, get them off Amazon.

Really looking forward to this, can't wait to get started!
