mmm. Well those pirates maybe not be badminton but they are sure good businessmen. Time is money you know and they know they can squeeze the market ASAP.

Well i think its time for Yonex to buck up their delivery system. Its seems now fakes are delivered faster than the originals.

As i've said before, NS7000 is very easy to fake or copy.
Does the first fakes have the new cross-sectional frame profile?

Yeah, since they just need the "look", it will be the same amount of effort to fake either a MP99, or AT800 or NS7000.

And don't be surprised something like NS8000 or 9000 or 8888 will be found soon. :D

Are those fakes look like NS7000 at all? Or just those fakes with the names?
(We have seen fake AT700, which was in yellow color and didn't look like the real one at all.)

I will just have to see. most likely the cosmetics will be the same as the originals. Usually they look like the same , not just the name. Nowadays even the fakes have engraved numbers on them.. very much like the originals , except that the engraves number are usually at the cone.. they cant do it at the shaft yet.

really.my coach has a fake mp99 which he bought from china.form afar the color looks weird as it looks more orange.and i examined the serial no and found it not to be engraved.so are they really engraving the shaft too.if they are they are definetely getting better

my club mate got screwed up with two fake mp99 from china. Those also had engraved serial numbers, but according to the racket code it was obvious that they are fakes.
280386SP => Produced at 28th March in 2008! Yeah, right... :D

So engraved digits on fake rackets are not really new...

if they can engrave the serial numbers, why can't they make the numbers more 'real'?

Hmmm very good question.. maybe yonex used a special engrave equipment. The size of the numbers are different.

Actually they are. Someone I know has a fake AT800DE. That thing looks so real I thought it was an authentic racquet. It even has the serial and batch number which fits the date of production. I would have never thought it was faked until he pointed out how the words "Armortec 800" is kinda slanted. It was the same with the batch number.

I think those fake Yonex racquet sellers are lurking here among us. I don't think I am going to buy racquet from an unknown source anymore.

i've seen rackets with identical serial numbers engraved on them. maybe the people making the fake rackets dont know what the numbers mean and are just copying it from another racket or just putting in random numbers.There are two number engraved on Yonex rackets.

The one engraved on the shaft is 7 digits serial number unique to a particular Yonex rackets. This shouldn't be repeated on another genuine Yonex racket.

The other one engraved on the cone is 6 digits ended with 2 upper case letters called date code. This one indicates the production date and destination country. Hence it can be repeated many times in similar format digit by digit and letter by letter.

If you have come across repeated serial no. on the shaft, I am happy to have that kind of information to verify its authenticity.

The problem is, how you going to tell whether the serial # is unique, or it's a "copy paste" from the genuine yonex racket?

I mean, how many ppl carry a computer with yonex most updated database loaded, when s/he purchases a racket in a store? :D

100% in agreement with to your point.

However my post is responding to post #25 of this thread from jamesshieh88 (http://www.badmintoncentral.com/forums/member.php?u=3976)

quoted as follows:
i've seen rackets with identical serial numbers engraved on them. maybe the people making the fake rackets dont know what the numbers mean and are just copying it from another racket or just putting in random numbers.

My thought is jamesshieh88 must have seen identical serial nos. of Yonex rackets somewhere at the same time on 2 or more rackets. If jamesshieh88 saw them at some sport shop, then common sense should alert him to be on guard of the authenticity of such rackets.

My compilation list of the Yonex racket serial nos. and date code carried 400 items (a mere miserable tiny stock of Yonex rackets considering the fact that we have 7-digits serial nos.for the rackets). This of course would not stop players from buying fake rackets who have no knowledge of such thing as serial nos. and date codes.

So far so good that I have not come across a case of identical serial no. from my compilation.

Wasnt able to do a detail comparison with the fake and Orig since my Ns7000 was not with me during that time..

Incredible! Almost looks like the real thing. Although the sticker design of the "nano technology" on its 3 & 9 o' clock head positions gave it away & the serial code on the shaft & cap. The fake one was even able to copy well the "diamond" patterns & graphics on the original's shaft. :eek: Does the fake one also have the bulge on the inner portion of the rackets top head? (Its like the lump inside the racket head, on 10 to 2 o' clock position. Much like the Armortec's head, hope you get what I mean :crying: )

There is no serial on this fake.. as it is seriously fake version. Well there is some tell tale sign of fake in the racket if we dont see the cone. Some part of the paint job not as good as the real one.. even at which part they put the Letters etc..

hi all, the pictures below show the identified differences between the authentic and the fake NS7000: (please always refer to ants pictures for comparison!;) )

1) 2) showed the major difference at the cone, see the black on gold Yonex logo?

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v306/josephwhchan/IMGP0255.jpg

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v306/josephwhchan/IMGP0252.jpg

3) 4) 5) showed how the 2 sides of the racket shaft each have different labels, one being "HIGH MODULUS GRAPHITE + NANO CARBON", another being "HEAD LIGHT BALANCE / MADE IN JAPAN". There is no "NANO TECHNOLOGY" sign on one side of the shaft in which the S/N were imprinted, but do appear on the opposite.

6) 7) see how some special gormmet is located in between the ordinary one string gommet?

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v306/josephwhchan/IMGP0262.jpg

8) Lastly, notice how the gold colour "tail" of NANO is slightly longer than the fake's as posted by ants?
hint: see how it extends further from the last hole :D

Yesterday i had a tournament. i bought a set of nano 7000 and 8000 in taiwan and i live in canada and they dont sell it here cause it isn't out yet but i got my set in taiwan during vacation this summer in a sports shop. Yesterday when I was playing, one guy had a NS 7000 so I asked him where did he get it, he said off ebay for 99$, so i compared mine with his. These are the differences i notice at first glance ; first my color red color was lighter than his, my weight was dramatically lighter than his and the gold paint was much shinier than mine
