These are fake... Right?

I wonder if the FBI would care that you didn't say they were Golf Pride but you were selling them knowingly fake with golf pride logos on them.

 

What I was saying is that, since the seller never actually says you're getting golf pride grips, if you had simply gotten some knockoff that looked like the real thing but didn't have "golf pride" on it, you might have been stuck with them with no recourse. (It just depends on how picky ebay is about what is implied vs what is actually written.) But, since this seller has sent you something that says "golf pride" all over it, it is obviously counterfeit and I think you'll definitely be able to get your money back and golf pride will likely be interested to know about this seller.

So, what you do is, tell them that you want the ones that are pictured. The ones that DON'T SAY "Golf Pride" because you want the ones that were advertised. the "New Decade" brand ones, that are "made to Golf Pride specs."

You didn't pay for grips that actually say "Golf Pride" on them.

Guarantee you that they don't actually have non-branded ones.

 

I just bought a couple Super Strokes off ebay, because I was looking for the lime green from a couple years ago. I figured they were 2 years old, and OOP, so they'd be cheaper, and on e-bay. Both times, they were fake, and both times, it was almost an instant refund when I called them out on it. Turns out...Golfsmith still had some of them, and they were on sale, since they're old stock! Ha!

It seems the general consensus of this board, is to stay away from grips on eBay. Realistically, are you guys finding mind blowing deals on there for grips? Or are you literally saving 10 bucks or less? I am hoping you guys are getting grips for a buck or two per grip, otherwise why even bother with eBay?

Mostly PING clubs, with TaylorMade woods.

FYI-

In the last week I have seen three batches of the MCC Plus 4 grips the are total fakes. Some came from a local "fitter" and the other were from Aliexpress / eBay.

Very distinct seam on both sides of the grip, ridge markings too low, cord part already looks warn, huge lettering inside of grip - tiawan 60r and lastly the plastic wrapper is the same as the real ones but doesn't come off easily.

As long as it is real to you, that is all that matters!

 

I'm going to disagree on this... if he bought them knowing they were knockoffs, that is one thing. But in this case the counterfeiter went to the trouble of putting "golf pride" on the grips and even including the proper bar code on the grip, so it is obvious the seller is trying to mislead the buyer into thinking they are buying authentic golf pride grips. So, aside from the fact that the counterfeiting is illegal, the seller is also lying to the buyer about what they are buying.

 

The joke went over your head.

I don't want to hear that! Pulled the trigger on 13 MCC4 grips last week during that eBay flash sale. Now I'm going to be super paranoid until they get here...

By now is clear you need to buy your ndmc grips in an authorizing retailer when they have their sales on winter time.

Yup counterfeit but you'll never know on the course

Until they fall apart or start to deteriorate after a few rounds.

mine still look new after 75+ round season. Bought them knowing they were fake to test em out. Saved a ton! Still happy with them

They are fakes, the listing should have given it away, It doesn't come out and say they are Golf Pride, Plus it says

(Made to Golf Pride OEM Specifications)

Also it lists the weight as 48.5 grams, MCC standard is 46.5 per GP's website.

They are getting tricky on eBay with GP grips, They are buying a set of real ones so they have non stock photos to show

then sending out fake ones,

Ive been burnt twice, once on a set of MCC white, No core size stamped inside, little cord on the grips, and white paint fill

in between the white on the lower hand.

Second time was on three MCC plus 4s, they were so bad a blind person could see they were fake. The listing tho showed a real MCC plus 4

They sent me this bullxxxx note "Hello and thank you for your recent purchase. We are sorry for the confusion caused but both the item received and the listing itself are for an aftermarket set of Multi Compound golf grips. "Golf Pride" is not listed as the manufacturer and is not pictured in the listing."

 

I said "you do realize it's illegal to shop counterfeit items right?"

 

Did they then follow that up with a letter about winning the Nigerian National Lottery? "Dear Kind Sir, We are pleased to announce your fantastic luck in winning our $50m lottery you didn't even enter", "Please send us your bank routing and account numbers so we can deposit your much deserved winnings".

That ad is about as scammy as they come. I wouldn't have gotten 5 words in before hitting the back browser. Feel sorry it happened to you, but like that old guy in Indiana Jones says- you chose poorly.

So I got some New Decades off eBay. I open the box and they just look wrong. I have an extra one from Golf Galaxy that I used to compare with ....

 

The one on the left is from GG. It's a completely different color.

 

 

 

The stitching is way more prominent on the GG one too.

 

 

 

There's an "r60" etched inside the one from GG. Nothing on the inside from the eBay one.

 

 

 

Looking at the ad i'm a bit surprised that you thought you were going to get genuine grips, ad pretty much screams at you that these are fake

Anyone have an MCC 4+ grip laying around uninstalled? I would love to see a picture of the lettering on the inside of the grip. Thanks in advance!
