What makes the T-17 focus pads better suited to heavy hitters than standard mitts?

The T-17 focus pads use an MG-2 mould combining EVA-LUTION foam with patented latex padding — a more sophisticated shock management system than the single-layer foam found in basic mitts. The Palm-Dome catches and distributes heavy strikes, and the Kalix Skin Hand Compartment gives the coach a secure grip that doesn't slip even under powerful combinations. For trainers working with hard-hitting boxers, the T-17 transfers significantly less shock to the wrist and forearm.

Are these focus pads suitable for beginners and advanced fighters alike?

Yes — the curved pad shape and Quick-EZ wrist strap make them easy for newer pad holders to use, while the MG-2 padding system handles the power of experienced fighters. The T-17 focus pads grow with both the coach and athlete as training intensity increases.

Can I use the T-17 focus pads for Muay Thai knee and kick drills?

The T-17 focus pads are primarily designed for punching combinations. For knee strikes and kicks, use a dedicated Thai arm pad or kick shield that provides greater surface area and targeted shock absorption for leg-focused techniques. The T-17 Arm Pads and Kick Shield are the recommended companions for a complete Muay Thai training setup.

Are the focus pads sold as a pair?

Yes — the T-17 Focus Pads are sold as a pair. Each pad has its own Quick-EZ wrist strap and Kalix Skin hand grip so the coach can work combinations from both sides during mitt sessions.
