I have two pair, one for backup, many years of bowling and old age have pretty much destroyed use of middle finger for bowling hence grips glove have saved the day at least for me, I continue to bowl albeit being careful of force on the finger, took all my lifts out of fingers on my equipment and bowl two to three times weekly. Just like the wrist guards, if you need some extra help due to weakness or injury, they could be the answer for you but I wouldn't buy them thinking they will improve your game.
