Im afraid your mp 90 is a fake, since there is no country thats abbreviation is KK.

That list does not fully correspond to Yonex's scheme of country code for the serial number imprinted on genuine Yonex rackets. For instance, according to the list, Canada's country code is CA, while on Yonex rackets, it's CD.

There's still lack of evidence to determine if the racket in question is real/fake. Misprinted country code has happened before. "UP", for example, if I recall correctly.

Yonex uses their own proprietary country code scheme.

Yeah. UP, IP, AP, etc are still big question mark for us. If all these are real "mistakes", I wonder how they got passed by QA.

If all these are real "mistakes", I wonder how they got passed by QA.That's a very interesting point, and should be considered towards many other things. Especailly towards country code debate because we can now say, perhaps some versions of rackets aren't meant to be like that :rolleyes:. Some of you should get what I am saying now.

When buying a ruler at a office supply store, 3 things could happen:

1. The ruler is just fine, the length is within tolerance range, or
2. The ruler is a little longer than tolerance range, or
3. The ruler is a little shorter than tolerance range

Obviously, 2 and 3 are both considered as defects and there is no question about that. However, people tend to like 2 than 3 for whatever their reasons :rolleyes: , and this applies to the world of badminton as well. All right, enough said.;)
