KNOWN FAKE STICK RETAILERS

In our attempt to keep you informed and out of trouble with spending money on what you think you really want to buy, we are going to keep a list of retailers that you should be weary of. The stores are all online and we have very strong information that these sell sticks that are not real Gryphons. We strongly urge you to take note of these stores and we will be updating this list as we find confirmation of more places that are not authorised retailers of Gryphon Products.
The sticks sold here are fakes. Mostly they are factory seconds (not Gryphons) that have been resprayed poorly to look like a Gryphon. These sticks will not perform well, will have a tendency to break or feel bad in the hand. They will look wrong as they will have spelling mistakes and graphics that are incorrect. All together it’s not a great package and you certainly don’t want to be handing over money for these products.
For more information on identifying a fake Gryphon you can refer to this post.

I have been looking into purchasing the new 2010 Tour Pro and whilst been searching online, have come across http://www.justhockeystick.com and they are selling it for $199… too good to be true? The website doesnt have a phone number but an email address and mentions Malaysia. Has anyone else heard if this is a distributor of fake sticks or is this company good to go?

Hi Todd,
So far we haven’t seen any issues with the 2010 sticks being copied. This store does seem to have a large range of products rather than just one or two which signals a proper retailer. BUT We will check to see if they are on the list of accredited retailers, so maybe hold off if you can.

Hi Paul,
Where did you buy the stick from and how have you been able to tell if it’s fake?

Hi Todd, as an update. We have done some searching and found this store not to be accredited as an official retailer of Gryphon Products. So please stay away.

We’ve updated this list with a couple of new shops we think you should stay clear of.
