How to Improve Without Sparring

Would tape help what? People often use tape in sparring to give extra support to hand injuries they may be carrying/vulnerable areas, particularly the thumb joint.

yes protecting my hands. my wrists arent great either. the knuckles primarily though are the issue.

i have to overcompensate on the bag as i cant even do pads.

It wouldn’t help the impact, but if you were to put something in the wrap - i.e., a piece of a sock, or a sponge, as I’ve often heard referenced for guys with hand problems - it would help keep it in place, sure.

Seriously though … try wrapping your hands differently.
