I know someone in Australia that imports all brands of grips, he has been to the factory in China and all the top brands, cheap brands and everything in between knock offs etc are all made in the same factory.
The thing is, if someone can produce a knock off grip for a couple of bucks, then so can Golf Pride. Just think how much money companies like Golf Pride are soaking from consumers.
Sure, Someone can produce a knockoff using inferior materials, lesser manufacturing processes and pay much lower wages. Knockoff likely won’t last as long. This is often referred to as “lipstick on a pig”. I have friends who buy this crap and they spend more $$$ replacing this stuff than others who buy name brand products. I’m not saying this is true with everything but it’s true more often than not.
I do think there is something to be said for reimbursing the company who committed the R&D dollars to those grips and other items. Sure, you can copy the grip cheaply, but you as a company making knockoffs didn't invest in the design and the testing of the product. So as the counterfeiter, you are stealing someone else's labor.
I expect they do.
@@NomisSanguine was about to say the same thing. They will have put so many resources into getting the grips to the high standards. Like most I wonder if these grips would hold up in the rain and how long they would last for, Not the I'm snobby or anything but I don't like buying the cheap stuff anymore sort of cost me in the long run as I have to replace it.
@@si777 I tend to be a believer in, “You get what you pay for.” Since I suck at golf, I’ll continue to invest minimally in it for the time being! ;) When I get better, start thinking about not going cheap anymore. One day, I will stop using Top Flite clubs and get some Taylor Made.
It’s because I can’t afford £12 per grip from a pro shop Gazza…….I have just received 12 golf pride zgrip align cords for £32 off Temu delivered. If they are fake, they are a very good one. They feel pretty darn good on the hands for a fraction of the cost. I do understand that top men and professionals use the bees knees but I’ll stand by the grips I’ve received from Temu and say they’ll do me 2 years or so…….. if I could send you a pic I would. It’s the super stroke pistol gt I order for around £7 a grip, they are top draw too…..again, if they are fake they’ve stood me in good golf for this season……know what am saaaaayyyyiiin!…….take care gaz, see ya at next golf day x
I’m not knocking them mate, it’s quite the opposite, I was expecting them to be far inferior. Cheers bud
I think at that price there is no excuse not to change your grips every year. I already got mine ready for next year. Thanks temu for looking after us.😉
Haha. Lol
I just purchased a super stroke putter grip from Temu for $8.54. after going to Dick's sporting to figure out what size and style grip I wanted to buy. checking the wrapper on the superstroke grip from Dick's sporting Goods it said made in China.... So why not save a few bucks if it's coming from the same place. 😃

Hi Gary. I use the copy grips . Ones I use are excellent value for money and really no difference in quality.
I think the big brands (like Golf Pride) pricing their grips at 15-19$ per grip opened up the market for counterfeits. I feel like it’s not ok to invest 100-150$ to regrip an old set of irons worth a couple of hundred dollars. I liked the Champkey grips Wish had before but now I only find from Amazon? In america they sell a set of Chempkeys (13 grips) for 50$ but in Sweden Amazon sells the same grips for double that price, that’s fucked up!
I’m going to search them
Grips. I once picked some clubs up with them on, and I were very impressed!
Golf Pride grips are manufactured in Taiwan and Thailand anyways, so I don't have a problem buying copy ones for a fraction of the price, if the quality is right.
Considering how we use the grips.. there is no fake or real. They are grips same size same structure same feel same use. If they are cheaper use them.
i think when it comes to grips you would need to be an elite golfer for the grip MAYBE to affect your swing for the average golfer a grips a grip
Yeah, I’d agree with that 🤙🏼
youre right, its only rubber.. it wont affect the performance..i play around 60 rounds per year and my grips last 2 seasons
I ordered a range finder off temu for 14 bucks. It works like a charm! My buddies all guessed it cost over 100 dollars
What was the brand name of this from Temu ?
I wonder how long it will last.
@@nessyafc87 has no markings. It just says laser rangefinder. It's not the rechargeable one. It's actually heavy like you'd expect
@@19rosscoe61 well so far it's lasted a year on the same battery. I've played probably 20 rounds. Battery has held up. It has a pin seeking feature and a speed feature I haven't used which I guess is like a cops radar. Seems like a pretty good buy. For 14 bucks I'd buy one a year lol but it seems I don't have to.
@@georgesimmons4923 20 rounds in a year? I'd quit playing if I could only play that much.
I think what we are missing here is that some of these items are coming from the same manufacturers as the (name brand) companies. The specs are in china, the materials are from china and the labor is in china. A lot of what we pay for here in America is the Name on the item. That’s marketing genius.
Superstroke have this coming with the price they charge for a bit of ugly rubber/silicone
They are here already fella
Ive bought golf shirts and a Milessy rangefinder from Temu, shirts are excellent for £7 and rangefiner cost £29 works fine and just as accurate as expensive Bushnell's
Your rangefinder is working excellent for the Communists Chinese Party. It's tracking you perfectly. Plus they now have your banking info. Enjoy
I did look on Temu a few weeks ago and saw the Scotty Cameron putter grip and thought to myself that there is no way it can be genuine, I couldn’t bring myself around to buy it because I always like to support my pro shop. Great video Gaz
I’ve already bought a fatso superstroke from them! I love it. Also buy clothes. Fantastic value, arrives on time and NO postage! Works for me. Ha ha. When are we going to play again!!
Soon! From 20th October I’ll be off mor e
@@garymartingolf
Cool. Bring your A game!! lol
I bought the compound grips knowing they were fake. I was surprised that they felt the same as the real ones. I have played several rounds with them and I can't tell the difference when used next to the real ones. I am really interested on your review of the range finder.
Hi mate how was the smell on the fake grips? The ones I have seen smell terrible and leave almost this chemical rubber smell on your hands that never goes away.
There is no reason the quality has to be lower at the price point, the main difference is it's coming directly from the manufacturer so what you save is the Brand and reseller margins.
However even if they are coming out of the same manufacturer then I think it should be marketed differently without being sold as branded products.
No everybody would know that though, unless someone has ordered them, they might not even trust this is a legitimate sight at these prices.
I game fake golf pride grips from china. Bought them off ebay for 1/10th of the price of real golf pride grips. Absolutely phenomenal grips. Had them on 2 seperate iron sets snd cant fault them at all. Will be buy fake grips for every set of clubs I ever own from now on!
In terms of durability, I've played over 80 rounds since fitting them, and they haven't lost any grip or tackiness at all.
I'd be curious how it holds up, as knockoffs tend not to hold up, but it is pretty bad that they sell blatant counterfeit items. I remember Rick Sheils buying a fake M6 from Wish, where the screws were stickers, and it broke after a few balls being hit.
I know. That’s what I don’t like. Some people will believe they’re real.
I put fake ones on my irons 2 years ago. Didnt realise at the time it where fake ones. (Only play 3,5 years now) Now 2 years later de quality is still fine . . . They are also sold on ebay (golf pride mmc)
I think the real question is why Golf Pride charges so much?
I've started buying Karma golf grips instead of Golf Pride or Lamkins. They're similar quality, but about one third the price.
I’ve seen them and I were very impressed. Where did you buy them from?
Great video and thank you for making us aware
No problem 👍🏼
Easiest way to tell is test a discrete area with a little white spirit on the grip. Any branded finish will NOT loose its colour. Fakes will. Fakes are also harder to fit as the compound is definitely different.
Scotty needs to drop his prices to the real value of manufacthe I expect both originals and copies are made in Taiwan or Vietnam somewhere like that.
Have not used this place before but have seen the ads. Thanks for the video! As for grips, I've used the Champkey grips for a couple of seasons. Are they GP quality? Very close and if I switch out in spring it is fine at $30-$40 for 14 grips. Beats $15 a piece for GP.
The golf brands get their products from China and stamp their name on it? What’s to say those brands aren’t ripping us of?
I’m not here to defend the big brands, you can make your own opinion and shop as you please 🙌🏽
TEMU (based on what I've read) is like WISH, tons of counterfeit/knockoffs. As long as people are aware, for these prices, it makes sense for some people.
But if it’s the same quality then maybe the “real” ones are just overpriced …
You are just paying for just the product only with fake gear as they don’t need to spend any money on marketing, advertising, branding, they don’t have the costs of meeting any human rights / standard or laws etc etc.
I’ve nothing against people using fakes, but I just can’t say that I like the counterfeit market, as some people get stung by re sellers.
@@garymartingolf but is the price justified? A lot of greedy companies…
It does beg the question, why pay full whack for the "real" ones when it just rubber at the end of the day
I mean, I can understand why people are buying them 🤭
Had a look on Temu, the golf bag ABS cigar holder looks to be a must!
Ahaha 🤣
Ive bought all sorys of golf gear over the years from wish ali express to temu,ive had no problems,putter grips iron grips and rangefinders amongst other things plus polo shirts which are good quality and cheap,why not.😅😊😊
i bought the swing training mat for £20 delivered mark crossfield showed one for over £100 that needs replacement parts at £40 a time and its very good quality
I’ll have a look at that 🤌🏼
I paid £14 then a week later got another for a friend under a tenner. And they work.
Hi Gary. I have ran into fake clubs and grips over the years and the fake golf prides tend to smell absolutely terrible. A very strong chemical smell that is a dead give away something is up. Did they have that smell? Thanks love the videos 🇨🇦
Interesting, I've recently noticed an up tick of grips being sold on Facebook Marketplace, including Golf Pride multi and Scotty Cameron grips. 🤔
There you go, always someone trying to make a few quid on fakes 😅
Same as me here in Canada. Fully sealed prepackaged clear bags with 13 in them. Looks very suspect. I guess a rule of thumb is you'll never find really one's for anything under 12 or 13 canadian dollars. I know places here in the winter sell them on sale for about that.
Shows you what the big brands could sell them for.
Put them on set of clubs and let's have a look test them for us on video.
I can do that 🤌🏼
could they be the grips that did not pass inspection by chance?
The Chinese are excellent at copy tooling absolutely anything! They make all the prototype and mass production parts at a fraction of the cost. I also read that Temo get the subsidize prices because of the added advertising on their apps.
Who is ripping who off, the originals for over charging (at maybe better quality) or the counterfeit for delivery at competitive prices.
Neither, the only people ripping people off, are the re sellers on Facebook, selling them as real.
Thanks Gary.👍👍
Thanks
Bought the rangefinder you showed, mate had a bushnell, they were within a yard of each other. Dont think its anywhere near as durable though. As for grips , good fakes last a season, so if like me you change every 12 months no issue , if you dont then expect slippy grips !!
I've been waiting for someone to test some TEMU clubs, they have some stuff that looks good in the pictures.
The clubs weren’t so cheap though. I might get some off Ali express
Funny, the fake SuperStroke stitching looks even better than the orginal.
That is cheap. Charging hi dollar/quid for something sloppily put together is the plague of the industry.
If you’re a musician you’re probably aware of the guitars they sell from China that are copies of major brands for a fraction of the price. Now are they as good as the real thing of course not. I ordered a Gibson Les Paul and was pretty surprised at how good it was. But I had to do some work on the set up and also replaced the pickups . The ones that came in it were junk. But when you look at it next to my real Les Paul you can easily spot it’s a fake…
very true but alot of people are getting caught when people sell them off,On the golf grip subject i got copies off Amazon 12 months ago and to me they are as good as the genuine ones and for less the quarter of the price.
Wish I would of heard of Temo before I bought my replacement Ping 425 head over
If it seems too good to be true, it usually is. There are exceptions to every rule, but I can't imagine a site like Temu would be one of the exceptions 😂😂
Temu sells things what they are really worth. Other companies you pay for the name
£100 Nike trainers cost less than £3 to make and are the same material used to make £5 trainers off the market
£400 gucci handbag is less than £5 material and is the same material used in any cheap £5 handbag you buy
@@SL0409 But they're not selling the genuine goods they advertise, that was the point. If you buy something from Temu that says Scotty Cameron on it for 5 bucks, you can guarantee Titleist/ Acushnet had absolutely nothing to do with its manufacturing or distribution. They sell cheap counterfeit crap and steal other people's hard work and brand names to make money off it.
Inside the small end opening GOLF PRIDE is moulded into the rubber on a genuine grip .
Didn’t know that 🤙🏼
Used Temu grips and they are no different to the real ones , Just renewed mine the grips i had on were from temu and had thenm on for 18 mnths i play three times a week and really they were still good but getting 14 grips for £42 why not .bought plenty of golf stuuf and no problems what so ever ,question is how much money golf pride making when the likley hood is they are made in china
You've got it twisted these golf companies invest in themselves to research and test the products they produce. They just don't simply ring up china and say make this for a £1 so we can sell for £15. So when these Temu start selling knock offs its really doing a disservice to the golf industry. Then you can also add labour cost materials etc etc over the years prices rising.
I buy real clubs from reputable sellers but would have no problem buying grips from Temu. Golf manufacturers have massively increased prices in last couple of years and are getting just ridiculous
Nothing wrong with these companies that challenge the big guys, we pay enough already!!
I’m checking them out thanks
Just put a fake Temu Superstroke 5.0 Traxion grip.. its Brilliant.. $15NZD (£7). That included shipping
Crazy aren’t they 👀
How do you know the more expensive grips aren't the fake ones, do you actually realise the mark up price on golf equipment.
We bought them direct from the retailer, as I work in a shop. I do, the real grips cost is more from the manufacturers before we put our small profit on, than than TEMU.
Another question is, how durable are they? If they wear out prematurely, it's less of a bargain, so time will tell.
I don’t want to be the guy who reveals all the magicians tricks but most of everything we buy comes from OEM manufacturers and they just get branded with whatever before leaving the factory. Not in all cases but with a huge amount of stuff. It’s counterfeit until the brand name goes on but take that for what you will.
I’m glad you did this I liked at the site once and they pester me to death. I figured it had to be fake
How bad are they for messages! Unreal! 😩
@@garymartingolf at least a couple emails a week and daily Facebook adds
@@garymartingolfno worse than the Druids marketing team 😂
Probably the same factory that makes the real ones Gents
Stitching on the super stroke is different.
Who cares it’s cheaper
Interesting!
Gary that half a ball is a knock off of the pill
Is it 😄 just when I were starting to think that the counterfeit guys had come up with at least one great idea 😂
They are real, but they are an clone of the Original product the materials may be equally good but I think you have to test them in the rain. And cold conditions to form a valid view of the validity on your clubs.
Bought the putting aid and the "perfect putt" stopper broke within a week
Make a claim. I’ve had the odd issue and I’ve always been refunded.
Be nice to see if that range finder is any good
The vlog will be out on Tuesday 2pm 👍🏼
Grips are a profit leader. Not surprised by this
My wife is TEMU almost every day some of the stuff she gets is quite good quality but you do get a lot of tat.
I didn’t know how many people where using it until today 😳
Maybe golf companies have been taking the piss
In Australia we pay approximately $38 to have 1 grip fitted
Your set will cost over $400 just for new grips
I think I’ll choose $100 for my set
Where are you buying your grips from!? There isn't a grip on the market worth $38 regardless of having it fitted. Buy it from a your local PGA pro and they'll fit it for free. Z Grip cord may be the most expensive and that's $33-$35 generally.
Put one on your putter and test it, i wonder if the colours will run when wet and will it wear quickly
Great idea!!!
I have a couple of fake grips that I use for practicing and the colours run after a while and the grips get hard and slippery quickly.
All the OEMs stuff are made in China as well. Agree with Comment ref how much they are making their items for and then selling it at 200% mark up.
Temu makes their money by selling all your info.
Smell the grips. The smell of the fake is way different than the real on Golf Pride grips for sure.
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Oh this is what I was looking for. He is 100 percent correct. I worked in the golf industry for years. Some of the fakes grips smell so bad you can smell them in someone's bag. It's like the worst rubber and gasoline smell you have ever smelt.
I definitely didn't smell anything, as you see in the vid we get close to them to try and pick out the differences and got no indication of a smell or different smells.
I got a golf buggy ordered from Temu but never arrived and they ignore my emails , very frustrating and scammy!!!!!
Did you get your money back ?
They're probably the real thing or at least made by the same company that makes them for the name brand companies. The sad thing is that they're probably sold to the the name brand company for less than the temu price.
If major manufacturers continue to be this greedy, then sites like this will continue to thrive! The major manufacturers are trying to convince us the raw products that they’re dealing with is way too expensive and that’s what is driving the price point then you have other countries producing the same thing for much less
So another question to ask with the majority of grips being outsourced these days, are they really fake or are they just "seconds" anymore. I know it seems far fetched at first but if you think about it...
I was wondering the same thing about them selling rejects or surpluses production.
I agree most will outsource. Scotty will add a massive premium on top for the name.
I’ve no idea, but there’s no way scotty or superstroke want these out on the market.
I figured the same. 99% of the ‘real’ goods are produced in China. I’m thinking most of it’s the same stuff. I’d be real interested to see the range finder. The tech stuff might have a different quality perhaps.
They sell you all details on
I ordered a sports watch and I get email updates from temu delivery updates .
Did you. Maybe I didn’t share my email 🤦🏻♂️
Scotty cameron lime green putter grip may be a fake as in UK they are only available in red and black in the pistolero grip, however not sure about colour avaliability outside UK
I think they’re all fake, or copying other branded product.
I bought some of these, the biggest giveaway that they’re fake is they weigh 10-15grams more than real grips.
Where do you think half of the branded gear is made?
What did I say to make you think I don’t ?
@@garymartingolf It was nothing you said. I was merely pointing out for anybody reading comments. Alot of big name tech and equipment is now made in the far east. It gets to Europe or the US and gets a big brand sticker applied and that doubles the price. I do a bit of shooting and you can pick up some real bargains. The same with football shirts now as well. £13 delivered to your door vs £80. I have and will always have a very limited budget so I never feel really guilty about buying a quality knock off. I played golf for a few years after quitting cricket. There I always used genuine gear. Used and maybe a few years old models as there are somethings only genuine will get the job done. I would love to see you review their golf shoes. Some really nice looking one's. Sorry for the essay.
£10 for fitting a grip Gaz .no pro I know would refuse to fit it it’s nowt out your pocket mate
We charge £3 for fitting, maybe that’s where we’re going wrong 🤣
You’re not really addressing the elephant in the room and that is if grips can be made to grip your whole set of clubs for under 50 bucks then why are all of the major manufacturers asking so much… I bought a full set of grips with tapes for under 35 bucks off Amazon and versus 200 to re-grip all my clubs… The difference in price was too big for me to go with the name brand.
Holy cow cut down on the intro length
I did order a set of Golf Pride MCC +4 and I could not tell the difference. The only thing I did notice they weighted differently from the original. This brings me to a theory: maybe they failed the QC…? So Golf Pride produces in China, and maybe the company does not want to throw away the QC sort outs anymore…?
A genuine golf pride mcc grip has golf pride moulded into the rubber inside the small end opening (the bit you push the shaft into)
So do the fakes I think I bought for 60 dollars (ebay 13 pieces ) but they are so close I am not sure they are fake ...the smell use to be the dead give away but these didn't have that issue ....sure smelled like rubber but I have some identical from Edwin watts on my mp5s and they actually smelled a touch louder ....just swapped few out other day on driver shaft and few wedges and 10 rounds in can't see any issues with preformance maybe even touch better in the humid wet heat we have in South....I didn't buy them because I knew they were fake just assume because of price that they might be when I received them ....and to be honest other than the price issue ....several of my friends I play with and I can't tell for sure....but the price ...they have to be
I have original OEM clubs with custom fitted shafts and grips. This grips looks / smells and feels similar to the ones from Temu. And yes, those Temu Grips also have this moulded golf pride 0.60R sign inside like the originals. As said maybe the sort out because of weight issues.
@@marcelwieczorek6604 emm no they don't.
You could sell them as long as you let it be known they’re copies and at a reasonable price. I wouldn’t make a habit of it . Or you can just give them away if it bothers you …
Don’t forget it’s illegal to sell counterfeit product. I get what you’re saying, but being a pga golf professional in the golf industry comes with the responsibility of being above board 🤠
I've accidentally purchased fake GP MCC+ grips and while they look great at first they have a nasty habit of ripping.
That’s something to watch out for. We’ve gripped a set, and we’re going to review them after a few months from a heavy user.
These imitations just show how much markup is being paid by us. Less middle men makes things much cheaper plus the manufacturers are paying for design and research which has to be paid for but when you can buy pretty much the same thing for 25% of the authentic then it's a tough deal to pass up, especially for something like grips that wear out anyways. I wouldn't buy fake golf clubs or life saving devices etc, but consumable items for sure I do.
Maybe if the golf industry would not completely price gouge us we could by the real items
My pro would not fit a fake grip I took in, I bought from eBay not that much cheaper and only bought as not in stock locally. Felt the same just the wording was not as good.
You can fit a grip in two minutes why would you get a pro to do at more cost you can get instructor videos on RUclips
Gary don’t think
You meant to promote Temu but you have great job why should super stroke close them down
They need to bring there prices down
Need you to find some putters for sale at bargain price lol
Real or fake lol
If they work lol I don’t care if they are fake!
On tv not so long ago , a program regarding fake nike trainers, they found out that all the components to the trainers were genuine and from the same factory in China, however they were assembled wrong which is what gave them away, this is not going to happen with grips , plus china don't recognise copyright laws, top gear in china showed that.
And as for the big golf companies that choose to sell a £2 grip for £30 all the power to temu , and if you professionals wont fit them for us amateurs, then i guess we will learn to do it ourselves, so i wouldn't be so hasty to refuse, then you could always move onto the shopping channel to earn your crust, you done a lovely job for temu lol.
My only aim is to offer an unbiased opinion on what temu are supplying for anybody who’s searching for reviews.
I’m happy to offer that service, and I’m happy to show you how to fit them, but I personally only fit grips supplied by myself, that way, I can insure the quality.
Thanks for watching 🤙🏼
You are a top man and true gentleman, keep them coming mate and I will watch.
I'm going to check this out for sure! Thanks Gaz! 🐊🏌⛳️🦅🇺🇸
The grips don’t last .. I’ve had one .. the wear and tear is bad .. 😊
Which one ?
@@garymartingolf super stroke .. did you weigh them ?
I will not play better or worse knowing or not that the grips are copies😊
I am sure you would feel better if they stole your Intellectual Property or invention and sold it as their own for a quarter of the price because there was no RnD costs.
Even if grips last six months or 12 months they are worth it am sick and tied of being ripped of by major brands who in some cases are treble the cost than admin than you pay to have them put on which if you do yourself takes about two minutes
What a bout referb Pro V1 golf balls doesn’t that rip off Titliest ?
I’m not here to defend the big brands, you can make your own opinion and shop as you please 🙌🏽
@@garymartingolf was just making the point that a lot of golfers buy reverb balls and don’t bat a eyelid the big brands have been shafted for years . Personally I use Snell or TM stripe but I also use Costcos ball since James got a hole in one not into fakes
I got some cpx grips and they're shit, way too soft, they move and twist, I've had good fake ones before too tho 🤷♂️
These items could have failed a high quality control system and be 'rejects' from the actual manufacturer. Many of the 'Outlet malls' sell items that are old stock. i.e. 2 year old models that have been sitting on a shelf. If the manufacturer could not move enough of their stock they have to get their money back somehow. I bought gym equipment at a fraction of the real cost and have no issue on quality.
Tbh the full price is a joke for golf grips. I ordered some grips from temu and play 10 times a year max and they're fine. The grips aren't real and weigh different. I ordered some golf pride snsr putter grips and it was a great opportunity to try them for a fraction of the cost. But at the cost difference you can't argue. I am a previously a single figure player.
