I've not used them before, but I've used many other Title-brand pads and they are excellent. I believe that you wouldn't do badly for yourself getting those....
anything I have ever seen that is made in Pakistan will suffer from ripped seems. the Thais seem to understand where they need to focus their efforts on Thai pad construction and design. those last Title pads look quite a bit different and, if you notice the krinkly looking leather on the bottom arm strap, look like they are made with leather typical of Paki stuff.
The red pads are worth the extra $$. Not sure what the real difference is
but a guy at my gym has the black pads and I don't like them. Another
guy has the red pads they have a much nicer feel.
I just received my pads from Title last night. It took about a week to recieve. They look and feel awesome. However, they are heavier than I expected. I guess that is not a bad thing. Cannot wait to try them out this weekend.
broke in my new pads this weekend.. They are a little heavy but I guess it is the high quality. So far very happy...I recommend them. No need to spend the extr bucks on Twins or Windy. The only problem is they come in velcro only not buckle....
