    Default Anybody here use the Griips Glove for bowling????

    I just read about an item for bowling that is used instead of putting your middle and ring fingers in a bowling ball without grips or one that has grips. It is like a glove that goes on your bowling hand and just has fingers for your middle and ring finger. It is supposed to give you better grip and protection for your fingers. That way you don't have to worry about sweat on your fingers which will affect your shot or injury to your fingers. I think it said that if you have grips now all you have to do is have them removed and the specially made fingers on the glove should fit just right. The fingertips on the glove look like they are tapered with the smaller part of the taper at the fingertip and gets wider to the first knuckle. I guess this item is just for a fingertip ball. Has anyone here used this item and if so how do you like it?

    Heres the only other thread on this board that mentions this thing.

    http://www.bowlingboards.com/threads...ghlight=griips


    As I said there:
    What I know about it is that posts about it have caused trouble over on other forums awhile back. None needs to get started here.
    Replies to this need to be kept civil.

    It's basically just a glove with finger inserts built in the finger tips.

    Tried one awhile back and i didnt like the fit of the glove so i gave it away. Ive seen some other people at our local alleys use them and they seem to like them.

    I need a gripping glove but i mostly need it for my thumb since I am a thumbless bowler.

    Thoughts?

    When I bowl thumbless, I use a glove for football. They are used by receivers and backs. I just cut the tips off.

    As far a Juices brilliant post Guys like that make me want to stay with thumbless, just to **** them off when I beat them. Go ahead and hate, then pay up when I whoop your azz.
