Griips Glove
« on: October 20, 2010, 12:49:13 PM »
I purchased one about a month ago, size large, from bowling.com.  Just curious about the product and wanted to give it a spin.

I use a Robby's Rev's. The glove can be used with the Robby's but the metal clamp on the glove is uncomfortable up under the Robby's Rev.

The ball I chose to test with was an Ebonite Mission, only because it was handy as one of the grips came out the previous night of bowling. First outing through three games. It did not take me very long to get accustomed to the feel, although the fell is definitely different. I have soft fingers and immediately notice a general decrease in revs. and axis tilt. Not bad, but noticeable.

I could not feel the ball on my fingers at all. A good thing for anyone that suffers with finger pain. I had to play further right to get to the pocket. After two games, I was done, as the metal clamp was wearing on my hand.

Second night out, I bowled three games. Similar results as the first night. All in all, I see the glove helping anyone with finger or joint problems, whether the problem is bruising or joint pain. I don't have these problems so I want be using it in the future. If the portion of the glove that fits on the hand was less bulkier, with no metal strap, the glove would be compatible with wrist supports. In its present design, it is not, although it would be worth purchasing and modifying if you have finger pain problems.

The glove seems to be well put together, although I question how well it will stand up to 200 or 300 games. My guess is you will have to replace it regularly.

I did have several guys question me about it and a couple with finger problems want to try it out.
