Reddit mentions of Everlast Strike Shield Black

For someone without any training, you do not want to use smaller 'focus' style pads since it is easy to roll your wrist if you have bad technique. Use a softer (lower quality & cheaper) strike shield like this one. You do not need to worry as much about accuracy and technique, and can unload whatever you want.

Revgear kicking shields are great, but they're designed to stand up to a whole gym full of people using them a couple hours a day. You probably don't need that level of quality, and they are expensive. The everlast shield is considerably cheaper and should hold up just fine for personal use at home - I have a couple myself. It is annoying that there's no bottom handle, though.

Had anyone ever tried boxing strike pads as a cushion for dropping weights?
