Pros of the TITAN Muay Thai pads

 
The pros of the TITAN Muay Thai pads are:
 
  • Good value
 
These Muay Thai pads are good value for money to beat the crap out of. If you are already building a TITAN-based boxing corner in your gym just throw these in.  For the weekend warrior who trains with his son, wife, or friend, these can be a nice addition to your home gym.
 

Cons of the TITAN  Muay Thai pads

 
The cons of the Muay Thai pads are:
 
  • Not from a dedicated boxing reseller
  • Can come apart under professional use
 
What you have to keep in mind with these Muay Thai Pads is that they are mass-produced for rebranding somewhere in China. That does not necessarily make them bad pads, as they are relatively cheap, but these have been produced in a factory that intends to label them for a buyer that then resells them en masse. This means that these have not been designed for a boxing gym where they will be pounded by several athletes 3 - 8 hours a day straight. If you are looking for something to cover that need get in touch with a local store for boxing equipment and ask them what is good and what they have in store.
 
 

Alternatives to the  Muay Thai pads

 
  • RDX T13 boxing Gloves
  • RDX Gloves and Pad set
  • RDX Leather boxing gloves
 
The RDX T13 Training gloves are good gloves to use on a heavy bag for training. They cost slightly more than the Muay Thai pads and you have a choice of color between gold and red. It is your choice what you would prefer for your sparring at home or in a commercial gym between two pairs of gloves or a combo of gloves and pads.
 
The RDX Gloves and pad set has roughly the same price as the TITAN Muay Thai pad. This is probably the better option for the weekend warrior who wants to train with someone who or she knows as it is better value for money for a lower quality glove and pad.
 
The RDX A2 Fight Lace-up leather Boxing gloves are approved by several boxing federations for competition and roughly cost $130. This would be a good option if you want to take your boxing at home to the next level or want to sparr in a boxing gym for competition.
 
 

Conclusion for the  Muay Thai pads

 
The TITAN Muay Thai pads are of reasonable quality and longevity and good for an occasional bout. If they will be pounded around the clock by professional or semi-professional athletes you might want to look for pads in the $100 to $200 range. There other options to satisfy the occasional user which are better value for money. Contacting a local fight store to get information about which gloves are best is a good idea, as they use their own merchandise.
