Do you have to use the special bopper gloves to hit it or can you hit with bare fists?

No bopper gloves needed. Grandson 2.5 yrs. old uses it like us oldies used to.. Bare knuckles. Also, when filling the base, dry sand is the way to go.

No, but they come at a good price. If you are seeing the picture they have the device on the wrong fingers; it should be on the middle fingers for maximum striking force.

No. You have to cock it with the other hand each time. Even doing slam fire you need two hands.

You can. They wont hurt the bag and will protect your wrists and hands, BUT they wont last as long if you wear them alone, without bag gloves. So still use bag gloves if you can. Otherwise Yes, a cardio strike punching bag or anything else that was made to be punch/kicked for training should be fine to use with these if used properly.

From my experiences with actual firearms I can't tell the difference from when I'm shooting barehanded... the pads in the palm simply soak up a lot of the recoil so I don't take so much wear and tear. It lets me practice a lot more than I normally would without tearing up my hands. For paintball the heavy reinforcement across the backs of your hands and 2/3 of your finger's length would prevent almost any hit except for one right in your triggerguard from even stinging much.

You can punch this with only handwraps. Quite soft. You could potentially scuff your knuckles but doubtful. No way you can bruise them though.

I use a wood bat with pitching up to mid-low 80s and haven't had a stinger yet. However in cages with Iron Mike machine I will get them... I have never had a glove that completely eliminates stingers, but I would imagine it would be too thick with padding thus losing grip and feel.

I'm sure that wearing gloves will give you the same strength-conditioning as bare handed training would. I have never used gloves with my hand grippers, but if I did- I would use a good quality driving glove that didn't hinder my ability to close my hand into a fist. Or you could try a batting glove or golfer's glove.

Sometimes you just can't use the gripper, you can use smaller potatoes or cut them down a little. What I think is easiest is just not use the gripper, I bought the safety gloves and they are remarkable, you just have to be careful.

Yes you can, but I returned this produce because it can't be used with tactical gloves and you need really big fingers to activate. I returned for a stingray, toggle was better, imo

I wouldn't. They are not intended to be used alone for hard punching. They are meant to be worn under bag gloves.

No. Your son will need gloves and/or hand wraps. When I beat on my bag full force I always wrap my hands and use gloves.

I have not been able to do it. But when using it I have not had the need for a closed- fist punch. I did put it on and tried a closed-fist shadow sparring and could not get a fully closed-fist grip. Product works great though otherwise just as advertised and video shown. Hope this helps.

No. Crimson covers the front side of that crip which keeps that glove from sliding on. Personally, I prefer the pachmayr.

They are not touch sensitive. You have to physically press them. I've never had a problem accidentally hitting them.

No. A small tool was included with mine but a punch will ensure better contact.

I haven't had to, but I'm not sure why you couldn't. It's REALLY thick. You'd have to hit a boulder or a machete.
