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.

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

[@garymartingolf]

I’ll have a look at that 🤌🏼

[@paulhuk2748]

I paid £14 then a week later got another for a friend under a tenner. And they work.

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 🤷‍♂️

[@KyleS860]

I bought some of these, the biggest giveaway that they’re fake is they weigh 10-15grams more than real grips.

[@SoCalMisfit712]

Products are made for these companies in China every day. The company that makes the grips, or balls or whatever then sell it themselves 🤷🏼‍♂️

What people need to understand is that pretty much all the "brand names" get their products manufactured in China. The reason you can barely tell any difference, if any at all is because most likely the "knock off" comes out of the same factory as the "brand name" product. Now that China has basically become the world`s manufacturer they will slowly cut out the "middle man" and sell direct via on-line platforms. More and more the question will be do you want to pay for over priced items containing a "brand tax".?
