I did for about 5 years. I just stopped wearing one about a month ago. I wore one primarily to wick away sweat on my hand; the benefit of not tearing up my fingers was a bonus. I'll answer your questions as best I can.

 

1. I used mine with grips.

 

2. I never had a problem with mine staying on. You need to get properly sized and buy a glove that is purposefully a little tight. The primary problem you're going to have is that most gloves will get slick/worn on the finger surfaces, actually giving you less grip. You'll go through a lot of gloves. You will also need to stay with real leather/cabretta gloves. The synthetic gloves are actually a sock-like material with an overlay. That works really well in golf, but not well at all in bowling. You can go through a synthetic glove in about 2 games. A leather glove will last you several weeks, even months with proper care. The best place to buy is in bulk on eBay.

 

3. I had to take my inserts up 2 sizes each.

No problem. Search for Maxfli. Their full leather gloves last the longest.

 

Weber and Jeff Carter wear Etonics. Jeff Carter's was a woman's size, I think. If you can try on some women's gloves, do so. They look the same as the men's, and it's all about the cut and fit.

 

I wear a men's large cadet when I play golf but I downsize to a men's standard medium for bowling.

Thanks to both.....I have been contemplating trying this for quite sometime, but no one in the area uses one. Since I am going to attempt bowling again soon (herniated 3 discs awhile ago) I thought while getting in some practice might not be a bad time to give it a go.

Just realized I forgot to mention an important step -- cut out the thumb. A regular pair of scissors will do it.
