umm yeah. I got a new mp 77, and it came with yellow mp grommets instead of bright shiny red ones... is it fake?? It doesnt look fake though because it has engraved serial number:4658660 281136 sp, came with shrink wrap, psbi logo, and the paint job is awesome. can someone enlighten me? thanks =P Oh yeah, and the racket makes this weird metallic rattly noise when I hit the birdy with it. Is it suppose to happen?
If you have any doubts take it back to where you got it from and ask the seller for a refund, if they ask why tell them you think the racket is not genuine.
If they are legit they should be able to show you the Yonex dealer invoice and import documents etc.
Rattling could be caused by a few things the most common is a piece of grommet inside the frame which has sheared off and just rolls about inside the hollow frame.

1.engraved serial numbers: some of fakes have engraved technology now.
2.shrink wrap: it takes only 1 minute to shrink wrap, so it's not so hard.
3.PBSI logo: I think most of SP fakes got that as well.
4.Paint job is awesome: well, a genuine racquet and a good fake both got that.
So, you might want to show us a picture with both racquet and the cover. We might be able to tell you by pictures, but not always.

is that a real mp77? mine looks quite similar to it =P and i wont be able to get it back to the dealer. He's/she's in hong kong, and i told my autn to get it. suprisingly, this racket came with a genuine yonex titanium bag. Its the stiched one...ill try to take pictures but my camera has his resolution and the picture file is quite big.... Aside from the serial number, where do you guys want me to take pictures of?
