Yes, they may be a bandaid. But many people will not put the work in to strengthen the core anyways, and this product will allow them to be active and enjoy their sport with a decreased chance of injury.
If I do a lot of walking or play roller hockey, my groin does tighten up on one side. With the core shorts Pro, roller hockey gives me no problems at all. Ice hockey and other sports have never given me problems either.
I've tried the Core Shorts Lite, but not for any activity though. The cost difference for me to upgrade to the Pro was not worth risking the Lite 'not doing enough'. The Pro are the most popular for us in terms of sales, and certainly the model we have to restock most consistently since we try to keep a full size run of each model on hand as long as UA has them available to us. I think in the past 2-3 years, we've sold maybe half a dozen pair of the strongest Rehab. The Lite is outsold usually ~4-5:1 by the Pro.
FWIW, the initial run of the Under Armour Coreshorts Pro had some fairly consistent QC issues. The more recent ones seem to be ok though. The original ones prior to UA licensing the design were more or less bombproof.
