There have been several threads created already on here about how to spot Fake Golf Pride New Decade Multicompound grips but no one has yet to showcase counterfeits with butt end wrappers.

Well, "I'll be a monkeys uncle".....Never woulda thought there'd be enough money in it to make fakes but I guess so.... After reading this I decided to compare the ones I bought off the bay to the ones on my new Mizzy's....I was fooled, the ones on my hybrid, driver and 3wood are fake.... That explains why the grip on my driver is already smooth....huh atleast it wasnt much money.....

I am hesitant to put the Ebay sellers name on here because I did receive a full refund and what if from now on the seller places authentic items on ebay and everyone reads this and assumes all the seller sells are fakes.
willx01
No I did not. I only entered the bar code sequence in google but I was thinking about doing so.

I know it's tough to tell just from an ebay link, but are these legit? http://www.ebay.com/itm/250967588359?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649 They've sold 222 of them, and have 99.9% feedback (one negative out of 695 on some ink cartridges) My concern is obviously the low price, and the fact that they are shipping from Hong Kong.
oldhamer25
I would say if they are shipping out of Hong Kong, then there is a pretty good chance they are fake. The counterfeiters have gotten pretty good with these grips and the fact that they come with the bar codes most buyers believe they are real thus the positive feedback.
willx01
From the ebay picture, you can't really tell but my gut feeling is not good. The thing I would consider if i were you is that if they end up being counterfeits, you have to deal with trying to get a refund or opening a resolution claim then eventually paying to ship the counterfeit grips back to hong kong.
Feedback
I bought a set (13 pcs) of Blue Multi Compound from him about a month ago and from another seller like a year ago. Now that you mentioned it I think mine are definitely fakes. But honestly they're okay to use though. For $49 (13 pcs) I think it's a good deal and they don't really affect that much.

Golf Balls
The one on the left is the fake. The cover and core are made from lower-quality materials, the cover is thicker, and as you can see, uneven. The counterfeit golf ball flies like a knuckleball as a result.
Irons
A cross-section of this iron shows the one on the right side is the counterfeit model. The cavity isn’t hollowed-out, which means the ball won’t come off the face as hot.
Driver
The driver on the right is fake. How can you tell? Because the detail on the painting is off, and the hosel doesn’t include any adjustability.
Grips
Grips can be tough, but ultimately, you can differentiate the fakes from the real ones by the detail on the grips, the quality of the material and the smell. A good grip shouldn’t have a notable rubber smell.
Woods
The club on the right is the counterfeit, because as you can see, the detailing is lower quality and not up to code.
Balls
One of the most effective ways of telling a fake dozen from a real dozen? The hologram. Never, ever buy a dozen Pro V1s that doesn’t have one.
