Horrible fakes my parents sent me (many pics inside)

[rise888]

Even though I am a complete newbie to badminton and badminton equipment, even I could tell these two racquets are fake! Its not their fault though, they told a friend in China to buy the racquets when I specifically told them to buy in Hong Kong. (I gave them a list of models I wanted, and these two didnt even come close!)

If someone knows a REPUTABLE shop in Hong Kong, please let me know! Specific address or location would be great.

what's up with the green things??? :confused: :confused:

[Feng_MP-100]

The racquet will increase its own power and control once you press the green buttons.:D

[bluejeff]

Oh, those two are the best ones I have ever seen :D:D They are flashy and they are super hi-tec (like from the future style :) ). I wonder how they perform? :rolleyes:

[kwun]

i actually thought: COOL!

now that's some creativity in racket design!

[Woven]

i kinda wish that yonex will produce a racket with that kind of design. ill definitely buy one for collection.:D :D :D

[kwun]

anybody noticed the internal groove at the top of the frame?

if a similar designed racket, meaning with plastic inserts and internal groove appears for a different brand, we will know that they probably come from the same OEM factory.

[cooler]

think of the good side, you got real yonex string :D

coz demand for fakes are too great such that one source can't meet them and fakers need to get rackets from others sources. Business is gud.... :)

**HAHAHA** :D:D
That just cracked me up!!:p

Yonex might come up with something like those styles in next 10 or 20 years.:)

[jamesshieh88]

AHAHAHAHAH!!!!! thats so hilarious. oh man i cant stop laughing.

anyways, whats up with those green thingys? are they suppose to help you in anyway?

[p996tt]

Those green things make the racquet look like a toy for 3 year old kids. Honestly...I can't stop laughing at the photos of the cone. http://www.badmintonforum.com/vb/images/smilies/biggrin.gif

Also this: "Titanium Max Power Lightess (spelling?) and strength" http://www.badmintonforum.com/vb/images/smilies/biggrin.gifhttp://www.badmintonforum.com/vb/images/smilies/biggrin.gifhttp://www.badmintonforum.com/vb/images/smilies/biggrin.gif

[aerotus70]

NO:D


Think those green things are to attract kids to buy. Try pressing them, maybe your racket will have running lights. :)

[bluejeff]

Just press the green button, and the green thing will extend the racket length with extra 1cm for the emergency reach!! :D:D:D

[EaH1022]

nice 70's style carpet ;D hahah.. great follow-through into the 80;s style neon buttons. try them out when we play 2morrow. im sure they are still usable.. better than the ones that the gym provides.

omg i joined! -_-;; sigh

[FEND.]

You know what. This is the joke of the century. But seriously, wondering bout the green things. Are they connected to the racquet or could you press it and the handle + shaft splits up. To me it looks that way, but maybe it's just me.

[rise888]

haha you guys think its pretty funny, but i was expecting two REAL MP100s :crying:

[Psycho V]

haha you guys think its pretty funny, but i was expecting two REAL MP100s :crying:

Tsk tsk, those rackets pack hidden powers that most people can't comprehend yet.

If I owned 1 of these rackets, I would use em' in the tournaments. My opponents will probably die laughing and I can win de game. hehehehe

[goldmedal]

even if fake the raquets look good

[kwun]

haha you guys think its pretty funny, but i was expecting two REAL MP100s :crying:
don't be disappointed, MP100 doesn't suit everybody. i say try out this racket. fake rackets are usually manufactured in OEM factories which makes properly branded rackets. you may get lucky and run into a good batch. let us know how you like it.

[LT - RulZ]

! Pretty nasty to slaughter the guy like that with laughters...

How much did they cost? Hope you'l finally find the decent pairs...

[charzord]

omg.... I WOULD KILL to get my hand on one of those rackets. They look AWESOME!! Seriously though, I love looking good whiel palying badminton, and damn, those rackets look better than my pure black tisp sx =P Hey, wasn't there someone who was looking for green equipements? This should fit them qutie well :p

[rise888]

if people are really serious about wanting one of these racquets, id be willing to put them on ebay so people can buy them and share the laughter with their friends/club/school :D

and whats even worse, they both came in horrible (probably fake) yonex "muscle power" bags.

for now im still just playing with a borrowed carbonex 8SP.

imagine if i grew to PREFER the fake racquets! how would i ever buy another one !? lol :p i would have to ask people "excuse me id like to buy a FAKE yonex with horrible engrish on it please"

- it would save u alot of money. However, if you turn pro, no fake manufacturer would dare to stick their head out and sponsor you :p

keep one for sure and use it as warmup!!! not to mention the looks you'd get!! :p

the bags, i'm sure people would buy from ebay. its a given.
any oem bags i see posted are picked up quickly...

what does the bags look like?

[odjn]

man all you guys can think about are those green things huh?

Maybe the fake guys who made this fake racket did this on purpose ....looks like good advertising to me!!! Cus i wanna buy one too!

[FEND.]

Rise888, I bet you no one in your country has a racquet similar to yours. Be proud!! GO ROUND PLAYING WITH IT!! I tell you they'll be like WTF you get that!!! instant celebrity ;)

[armortec800]

This is a revolutionary 3-piece design! The shaft, grip and racket head can be dismantled upon pressing the quick release buttons, it will shorten by 10" and you can keep it nicely in your regular backpack. :D
And you can experiment different shaft materials and different grips just like golf clubs.
