I would recommend this glove for heavy bag use . I box and train MMA regularly with amateur and pro fight in both sport . although this glove be of high quality I would not recommend it for heavy sparring . the wrist support be good for a heavy bag glove , but be not sufficient enough for hit the human body . the padding will protect the hand , but not as well as the traditional lace up glove . the foam be a little more dense then those such glove . great starter pair of glove .
