Pro-Am Original Air Hook & Jab Pads – Replaceable Foam
Some things are original for a reason. The Pro-Am Original Air Hook & Jab Pads were developed over 20 years ago by our founder during the preparation of a boxer for a title fight — born out of necessity when a shoulder injury demanded a smarter solution. Since then, they’ve become one of the most trusted pad designs in British boxing, and they remain the benchmark that others try to replicate.
The Story Behind the Pad
When a shoulder injury threatened to derail a title fight camp, a new approach to pad holding was needed — one that absorbed impact rather than transferred it. The result was the Original Air Pad: a pad built around air-cushioned shock absorption that protects the trainer’s hands, wrists, and shoulders without compromising the quality of the session. Twenty years on, the design speaks for itself.
Key Features
- Air shock absorption – significantly reduces impact on the trainer’s hands, wrists, and shoulders
- Leather outer – durable construction that withstands years of heavy use
- Lightweight & comfortable – easy to handle even during extended pad sessions
- Versatile – suitable for boxing, kickboxing, and general fitness training
- Trusted by professionals – a proven design with over two decades of use at the highest level
A Cost-Effective Long-Term Investment
The replaceable foam inner sets these pads apart from the competition. Rather than replacing the entire pad when the foam compresses, simply swap in a new inner and they’re back to full performance. For gyms and coaches who use pads daily, this is a significant saving over time.
