For those that are interested, I have attached an image to show the differences between genuine and fake Golf Pride grips. The most obvious difference is the length, the fake grip on the right being noticeably longer. The triangular pattern of imprints in the circled area is symmetrical on the fake grip whereas on the genuine grip, the imprints are offset. My advice would be to stay clear of any Golf Pride Decade grips being sold on eBay, sellers often picture the genuine item and send you a cheap imitation. If it looks too good to be true it probably is. There isn't a great deal of markup on these grips so I would be wary of paying less than £7-£8 per grip.

Nice pic and answer I was caught out with two of these, the colour from the Golf Pride logo ran when the white spirit hit it. I put them on and TBH they were ok for a month or two until I changed them out for genuine Tour Velvets. Buter beware on't bay at all times.

This is prime example of what I said above. Serial/model number on the yellow grip is actually the Number for red/black.
Best to avoid ebay altogether for grips.

You'd not notice the difference! If you place it on the club it'll shorten as you stretch it outwards!

I agree, if you don't have a genuine one as a comparison, the giveaway would be the symmetrical pattern circled, probably the easiest way of telling.

I'd personally say the difference could be to do with the stretch over the shaft, without fitting it and comparing, you'll never know.

Buy cheap buy twice, if you can pick a grip up for £4 that normally costs £8 everywhere else then something aint right

Different QA process, next. Still can't see there bring a huge difference.
