"this is an excellent alternative to mitts, I own a small boxing gym for all people, not just boxers, and it pisses me off when some one tries to destroy my hands on the mitts, I think to myself, shit, If this guy was a world class fighter and I get a chunk of his earnings, fine, I"ll deal with it,,,but for these mofus that pay peanuts for a membership and want to hit my hands as hard as they can, no way, I don't do mitts that often anymore, and this product is an excellent alternative" -Rene Armijo"These things literally saved my shoulders and have made me more money.

A well made effective training tool
I have been looking for something that can fill the role of pool noodles but has better feedback to the fighter when struck. I have tried punch sticks from various manufacturers but all of them came up short. They were either too long, too heavy, too hard, too soft, too much spring, not enough spring, etc. These mini Hitstix hit the sweet spot between punch sticks and mitts. They're made with soft leather and the foam inside is a little more rigid and heavier than noodle foam. This combination of leather and foam makes for soft hits on the fighter when training head movement but provides mitt like feedback when they counter. Also, the minis are the perfect length for boxing in my opinion. The short length reduces overall weight and provides more rigidity for better feedback when struck and also facilitates faster hand movement. These sticks can keep up with the fastest hands. I have been very pleased with the minis so far.

Very disappointed!
Very disappointed! I ordered these to replace my hand mitts and expected better quality. First they came 100% waterlogged inside of the box. The outside of the box was mostly dry and the inside was soaking wet. Seems to me that they were placed inside the box wet and sent that way. I've tried using them after allowing them to dry the best they can, and they do not seem very sturdy. The watrlerlogging seemed to have loosened the material and made it flimsy. I'm thinking this is because they came in the condition that I described. For the price I paid I expected much more. I hope there is something the supplier can do and this was a freak occurrence, because if this is the quality then they are not worth the purchase.

Great option for coaches with bad shoulders
Was never a fan of sticks for pad work due to the flimsy-ness of ones I’ve tried before. But with age my shoulders began to take a toll with the impact on mitts. I was hesitant at first but after one night of holding for 20 rounds straight my shoulders feel amazing. These have enough weight for my fighters to feel the impact of their punches but are still light enough to be mobile and manipulated. The product itself is made extremely well. Over all 5 stars.
