    Default Did you purchase grips online ?

    So i have been buying grips on eBay. Golf pride mainly.
    All i can say is WEIGH THEM !!

    Last batch was 47gr to 56gr.

    At least them you can match up the heavy clubs to the light ones..

    If the GP grips aren't from a reputable seller, I generally assume they are fake.

    Least you can now muck around with a point or so of swing weight lol.

    You can tell they're fake by the price. I bought 13 multi-compounds for $45.

    I've heard mixed things about the fake golfprides - some like them, some hate them.

    FWIW I've had good experiences with the Saplize grips on Amazon (and I think Golf Clearance Outlet sells them now too).

    The GPs I bought are fine, but I knew I was buying fakes right from the start. They certainly look the same, but the rubber is softer and probably won’t last as many rounds. That doesn’t worry me as I got them for a vintage set that is seldom used.
