racket defect

[heavy__2]

i recently bought a new mp77 from a well known shop in the uk however there seems to b a manafacturing defect but i am not sure the word 'muscle power' on the shaft has been printed correctly but another half 'm; is printed on the 'm' from 'muscle power'

another defect is the slant piece of material that joins the shaft to the grip were it says yonex is slightly bent i am sure it is not a fake cos they do not sell fake rackets i think it is a manafacturing defect but wat shall i do cos i have used the racket now.

did you talk to the shop about it?

post some pics. without any pics, it will be difficult for us to help you.

[heavy__2]

no i havent i just bought the racket yesterday played with it today and also noticed the problem 2day

Take it back with the receipt or get a copy of your statement if you used a credit or debit card. The UK has a 14 - 28 day money back deadline in most retail outlets. Aso to confirm this speak to your local Citizens Advice Beauro.

The shop should remember you and there should not be any hastle when returning goods as long as the racket is not badly scratched or chipped, the sooner you return it the easier it will be, if you leave it for a month or so the shop could say that you have been using it and have caused the damage yourself.

Bring it back asap.

Since u just own it for 2 days, I don't think they will actually give u a hard time on such issues, especially the "miss print".

[Yodums]

Just bring it back. They can't possibly give you any problems because:

- It was not your problem

-It could possibly be a fake...... (possibly)

i went into town today and went into another shop that sells the mp77 to my suprise i found that it was worse than mine the cone that joins the shaft and grip was more bent then mine!!!

i think it is just the print on the cone (see pic of mp 99 same thing on mp77) that makes it seem as if it is bent n e one else noticed this on the new rackets such as mp 99 were there are two colours on the cone.

This is a very bad quality finish for a high end racket and yonex should do something to resolve this issue.

Errr... maybe just the pic is too small.

I did not see anything like being "bent". :confused:

Did the color of the MP 77 change? It used to be silver, but now the MP 99 seems to have the color scheme of the MP 99. Picture is too small to see the details.

To be honest, I don't understand what you have written. Posting up the picture of the MP99 completely mystified me:confused:

I think he used the 99's as an example of the two colours at the cone of the racket to make his point. One has a white Yonex name and logo on the black background and the other has a white triangle with the black logo inside.

But which one is he saying is a fake.:confused: It might have helped if he posted the pictures of a 77 and not ones of 99's, are they from another thread?

This is the only conclusion I can draw from the post. If not then I give up.

P.S. when you say bent do you mean curves in slightly on one of the wider parts with the logo so that it lets you know where to put your thumb when you use a backhand grip. If so then that is why it's "bent" it's supposed to be ergonomic.

Is this not a feature on the new armortec? can anyone confirm.

[cooler]

if that is the case, the real mp77 has the yonex logo with a white triangle back color as shown. However, that still doesnt prove that it's not a fake. You have to give us the real pic of your mp77

Don't know how the MP 99 looks (I too am getting confused and his original picture seems to have disappeared) because the add-on grip on my MP 99 covers the entire cone, but my MP 99 is original. The cone of my MP 77 does not follow either scheme. There is a color constrast in the Yonex name area but not the sharp white that is reminsce of the older Yonexs not the 1 color tone. It is a two tone layout but the color change is deliberately blurred.
