Boxing equipment has always been about finding the right balance between protection and performance. Hit N Move® did it better with their design of gloves based on the bone density of the human hand. Measuring and analyzing the natural structure of bones in the hands, they found the right weight distribution for gloves, creating better punching mechanics and a more natural feel for the boxers.
DR-T Padding: The Science Behind It
The story of these innovative gloves starts with Hit N Move’s founder Ozhan Akcakaya, an amateur boxer who developed a keen interest in innovating boxing gear. Akcakaya has dedicated his own time and money to spend on orthopedic specialists, gaining insight into how bones distribute the weight inside your hand. They also studied density in bones, considering this data during the design process of the DR-T padding system. Their goal was to create gloves that would function like the human hand by providing boxers with a way to punch with strength while at the same time deriving maximum protection.
DR-T Padding System
Hit N Move’s DR-T padding system is where this concept comes to life. The padding has been designed to protect your hands from impact by considering the natural weight distribution of bones to give optimal performance to athletes. Each layer plays a different role regarding protection and power:
Comfort ID Memory Foam: This layer conforms to the shape of the boxer’s hand for a custom fit. In fact, as the gloves are used throughout their lifetime, the memory foam continues to adapt, making the gloves feel more like second skin than boxing gloves.
DR-T Compressor Layer: This is the central layer in the padding system. It absorbs and reverses the force of impact across the glove. The layer further enables boxers to hit harder without straining their hands too much, making the gloves powerful and protective.
Lightweight Sheet Foam: This layer helps maintain the glove’s structural and actual shape while keeping it lightweight and flexible.
Optimized Density External Layer: These outer layers add toughness and strength to the glove, thus you can make strong punches during training and sparring. The layer is designed to take strong impacts without denting its structure.
Ideal Performance and Protection
These layers form gloves that protect the athlete while improving overall performance. The gloves simply become an extension of the boxer’s arm, emulating the natural weight distribution of bones with superior smoothness of movement, punch strength, and real-time control. With this, boxers can confidently train and compete, knowing their gloves are designed to work in harmony with, not against, their body.
Traditional padding systems for boxing gloves often feel cumbersome, as if the design drags on a boxer and upsets their mechanics. Not so with Hit N Move’s DR-T padding system. The gloves were designed not only to protect the natural mechanics of the hand but also to enhance the way an athlete could easily throw punches without sacrificing speed or power. This equates to a smoother translation to actual competition because boxers can perform with greater assurance of being able to do their best.
Conclusion
Hit N Move has created the glove to be more than just a piece of equipment in boxing; it is, in fact, the personification of science and sport coming together to bring an absolutely new level of performance and safety into the ring. Hit N Move has created a more natural-feeling glove with improved power and protection by emulating the natural weight distribution of bones across the hand-all while pushing the limits of what a boxing gear can achieve.
