Knockoffs are everywhere. Most are 3D-printed in China and sold on Amazon, eBay or Etsy for around $40. This page is how to tell the real one from the copy, and what to do if you already bought a fake.
01 · Material
Strike Wedge is injection-moulded TPU, one continuous piece, no layer lines. Printed copies stack TPU layer by layer. Repeated club impact finds those interfaces and splits them. We have never had a customer report a genuine Strike Wedge break. We get regular reports of printed copies breaking on the first or second use.
02 · Geometry
The constraint angles aren't guessed. They are tuned to produce specific feedback for ground interaction, strike location and path. Copies replicate the rough shape and lose the geometry that makes the constraint actually work.
03 · Protection
Strike Wedge is patent pending internationally. Trademark registered in Australia and the United Kingdom, pending in the United States. We actively enforce against infringing listings on Amazon, eBay, Etsy, Thingiverse, Printables, Cults3D and MakerWorld.
Generic plastic case, 3D-printed wedge piece, plastic ruler. Listed at around $40 on Amazon, eBay and Etsy. We did not make this and we do not stand behind it. The genuine product is on the next photo down.

3D print STLCustomer printed an STL from a 3D print sharing site. The material was technically TPU, but the part separated at the layer interface after a few swings.
Came to us to buy the real one once they understood why.

The cheaper option is the genuine one bought once.
Strike Wedge was designed by PGA professional Chris Rose and Toby Williams, in Australia. The product was built around what was missing from a working teaching pro's bag: a constraint that actually shows you the strike, not another sensor that tells you about it.
Every unit is moulded and inspected to the same spec. Free worldwide shipping to almost all countries, with local warehouses in Australia, the US, the UK and Germany for the fastest delivery in those regions. We do not sell on Amazon, eBay or Etsy.

A genuine Strike Wedge is injection-moulded as one continuous piece of TPU. There are no layer lines, no seams, no rough finish, and the wordmark is embossed cleanly into the surface. If your unit has visible horizontal layer lines, a rough or fibrous finish, or feels brittle on impact, it is a copy.
Direct at strikewedge.com. That is the only place we sell. We have no authorised resellers, we are not currently on Amazon, eBay or Etsy, and every Strike Wedge listing on those marketplaces today is unauthorised.
Not currently. We are working on an official Amazon listing through Brand Registry. Until that goes live, any Strike Wedge listing on Amazon is a copy. See amazon.strikewedge.com for the full breakdown.
No. Even copies in TPU split along the layer lines under repeated impact. Strike Wedge is injection-moulded as one piece, no layer interfaces to fail. Printed copies also miss the precise constraint angles that make the feedback work. See 3dprint.strikewedge.com for the mechanics.
Two reasons. First, material: 3D-printed parts have weak interlayer bonds that fail under repeated club impact. Second, geometry: the constraint angles are tuned to deliver feedback for ground interaction, strike location and path. Replicating the rough shape is not enough.
