I've used them in the past and found them useful. They take about 30% away from the pocket and make rail shots very challenging. They will definitely make you focus on hitting the pocket.

If the tables you normally play on are "bucket" tables with very accomodating pockets, they will sharpen your aim considerably.

One note, however, they are more convenient on a table with a ball return because they make it a bit difficult to retrieve balls from drop pockets.
