they be great to start out with a punch bag . I have never use one before so these get I over be gentle with it . I practice bare fist now so I do not use these glove anymore , but still they be perfect at the time for what I need . Quality be good , I have no complaint on the build . I get the 12 ounce one , my hand be relatively big with a `` boney '' build . my fingertip go to the end of the glove exactly , if I have any larger hand , these would be too small .
