Bought punching bag and heavy bag gloves. Do I need Hand Wraps?
Just bought a wavemaster punching bag (though its on a stand) and heavy bag gloves. Do I need hand wraps also?
Simply put, yes, you should use handwraps. Do you have to, no, but should you, yes.
It will help protect the bones in your hands as you build bone-density, additionally it will prevent any kind of irritation from your hands rubbing inside the gloves.
Bag gloves are usually padded enough that standalone it should protect your hands (especially the ones with a built in hand-grip bar or pre-molded "perfect" fist) but be safe and use wraps. If your hands get raw from rubbing on the inside of the gloves, you'll have to wait for that to heal. Also, psychologically, you might hit harder with wraps because of the placebo effect of having your hands wrapped, which mentally prepares you.
