Generally, non-bag gloves are meant for sparring and don't provide enough hand protection for the bag.
It also depends on how hard your heavy bag is... the harder it is, the heavier the gloves should be. Mine is soft as a pillow. And definitely use the longest hand wraps you can get.

Gloves
For me, it depends on the bag. Right now I'm using Title's Thai bag, it has pronounced seams running the length of the bag. I use 16 oz boxing gloves with this bag so as not to loose concentration when making contact with the seams.
Gel bag gloves seem to be a happy medium:

Just my two cents.

I have the Title gel gloves and although I loved them when I got them, the gel is now starting to break apart inside where my fingertips are in the glove. I still like the gloves, but I'm kind of pissed that these things are coming apart inside already. I've had the gloves for about six months now and have used them for approximately an hour or more for at least twice a week in my boxing class, but I give them really hard work, not shadow boxing. I also use them usually once a week on the heavy bag at home, but the gel should not have broken down already.
I'd advise against buying the gel gloves. I know this is the last pair I will buy.
Here's the review of the gloves when I bought them. The gloves still look great, but I am less than enthusiastic about them now. The other thing that I'm not so happy about is the strap is made of elastic material and the velcro is starting to pull apart the strap and it's all frayed. Maybe my expectations were too high for these gloves, but I really haven't given them that hard of use in my opinion. I definitely learned a lot of what NOT to buy in the future. I'll be looking at a glove that doesn't have elastic on the band and without gel next time around.
Here's the review and a similar discussion we had about sparring vs. bag gloves back then: http://www.speedbagforum.com/forums/...read.php?t=179
I must have linked to the wrong gloves in my review. These are the ones that I got in 16 oz. These have the elastic band that the velcro is attached to. http://store.titleboxing.com/title-g...ng-gloves.html
Also, for what it's worth, I would get even heavier gloves if I could. I like that arm and shoulder burn after an hour or so of sparring, heavy bag work, shadow boxing, etc.Last edited by Chris M; 04-28-2007, 09:08 PM.

I've been looking at the title gels for sparring and bag work. I've read a lot of good reviews but have heard of 3-4 other guys complain about the gel coming apart. But also heard Title boxing/title mma will replace them and the customer service has reportedly been great for the exchange.-

In my opinion bag gloves are more suitable and I also use them. They give a more punchy feel and good for speed punching. But it depends upon you what type you like more, but personally I do like bag gloves for speed bag punching..

It also relies on how difficult your large bag is... better it is, the bulkier the safety gloves should be. My own is smooth as a cushion. And definitely use the healthy side parcels you can get.

I use 16 and 20 ounces gloves on the heavy bag a lot. But I am working on speed reaction and the tiny strands of muscle that control direction at speed. So with them on I am not into the timed rounds and rolling up on my toes while rotating hips for a column aligned collision impact. I am really practicing more combinations as fast as I can push the muscles to fire.
Then I take a break, take the heavy gloves off and hit with my JKD gloves, man the speed of combinations delivered with the lighter gloves after the heavies is amazing.
Personally use wraps only most of the time because I usually concentrate on sustained heart rate workouts rather than timed round workouts.
Most of my anaerobic workouts with the timer are sparring live, much better anaerobic workout with another person able to pound you if you miss use your energy reserves.sgt

I would recommend getting a good pair of bag gloves if your looking at boxing long-term. As others have said, sparring gloves aren't really meant for heavy bag training. You can get what you need over at this website http://punching-bag-workout.com/boxing-gloves
