Hi everyone, i'd like to seek for assistance in authenticate genuineness of this yonex armortec ti 600...

The seller is doing sale of this racquet in malaysia for RM220 (USD1 = RM3.80) and i have doubt after this model doesn't exist in yonex official site @ http://www.yonex.com/badminton_armortec.cfm or http://www.yonex-th.com/b_racket.php

It's grateful if u could put some comments on that or attach useful articles to support your opinions. Thanks.

I think its a fake! But its better looking than the real one :D

Reasons;

1. where's the square grommets?
2. the back of the card is b/w, the authentic one has colour!
3. too cheap to be real (most obvious!)

yeah....i found so suspicious of having no square grommets as well....another problem is i haven't get a chance to see the genuine armortec racquet....:D

I think it's a fake:

1. The plastic wrap on handle is very loose and cheap, same as many other fakes.

2. The "Made in Japan" characters seems in bad printing quality

3. Price is way too cheap, even though the final saling price might be higher

4. The overall quality seems cheap, but also might be light effect.

i am totally agree with

1. The plastic wrap on handle is very loose and cheap, same as many other fakes.

2. The "Made in Japan" characters seems in bad printing quality

still awaiting for more responses and comments on this item.

The fake seller is making a joke of himself on this fake racuqet:

1. the logo card said there is a CSC cap, but look at the cone, there is no such a thing. So it just knocks itself down :D

2. Yonex doesn't print "Made in Japan" to that close to the cone as if it really want everyone to know it is japan product or something.

3. "ARMO.RTEC" on the shaft should only be used on the head of the frame, it shouldn't be also on the shaft. (It should be just ARMORTEC, as seen on the card, so it knocks out itself here again)

4. The paint is not balance and ugly, Yonex would never make such a ugly racquet, not to mention its fonts are so not right and not consistent.

and there are more.....and again...too lazy :rolleyes:

bluejeff...thanks for enlightening many serious signs of a fake racquet

shall we finalise this as a fake racquet by now?

not only a fake but it's a cheap fake.

yeah, it's a "funny" fake racquet, the quality is just too bad.

The color look nice.. too bad its a fake.. a lousy fake.

it says "2U" on the cone for an armortec series, it's definitely a fake.

well, since it's an unknown racquet (there is no such a racquet on the catalog), there might be a future AT racquet that has 2U option. ;)

Fake. The word Stream alone, doesn't seem a word yonex would use, also strange to add Ti. And than it says armortec, but at the head of the racket where you can normally see the title foil of aluminium which has been inserted in the top part of the frame to give it a bit more punch, it just isn't there. So it isn't even armortec. To bad, I liked the colour.

Fake. To bad, I liked the colour.

All their R&D $$ went into the color selection :o

I wish my racquet is that colour.

Anyway, the racquet looks fake, with features that are so "un-Yonex"!!

there no csc !!! ( control system cap)
