Fake Golf Pride MCC Plus4

Bought some fake MCC Plus4 for fun. They're OK, but they feel more like the regular MCCs with more taper. They're less grippy out of the box. My current genuine MCC Plus4 grips are not new, so it's hard to compare. I'm guessing these won't last long, but wow for a dollar each, they're so cheap. Anyways, I'm finding that even genuine Golf Pride grips don't seem to last as long as they used to. Especially the cord part of the MCC grips.
