Just bought it yesterday. Can you help me verify if am not rip off?
No reply with this one yet?

[Dreamzz]

How so? because of the price???
The serial number checks out okay....



If you could post some pictures of the racket that would be better.

Leehism does not verify rackets bought from ebay.....

yeah, mainly because it's from ebay and because of the price.
i'm naturally suspicious of yonex racquets from ebay ...

[Dreamzz]

why nobody can help me verified?

most of the shops in pertama complex are authorised dealers, did you go to racquet world or something? i wouldn't be too worried.

[Dreamzz]

No reply with this one yet?

give it a bit of time, leehsim doesn't get around to verifying serials everyday.

having said that, we've never seen a fake nctuff before, it's probably not financially worthwhile faking a lower end racquet, so you should be safe.

yeah, you overpaid by just a little. i think NCTuff 9 should be around/under $100USD

you could get a brand new ti10 in singapore for that amount of money.

First thing - This is a shopping inquiry, it does not belong in this thread (it belongs to the Ebay Auction Watch).

I believe the racket was around April or so, correct me if I'm wrong. Also we need the serial number.

it really depends on when leehsim logs on.
normally he checks it at least twice a week, but it's difficult to judge anyone's schedule on any particular week.

Would of been cheaper if he gotten it from an actually Yonex authorized dealer in Japan ^.^ Goes for below $200!

Dear Matt,

Should I sell racquet at MAP price so people will believe me?

Thanks

I would say, not necessarily because even at the higher prices, people could still inquire anyways if they are not sure.

Been four years since i last changed my racquet. Time to lay my beloved carbonex 8600 to rest. I bought this new armortec 900 T from an ebay seller called nano_sports. Here's the link of the auction http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MEBTOX:IT&item=170204359193&_trksid=p3984.cTODAY.m238.lVI and here's the link to the seller http://myworld.ebay.com/nano_sports/

I've included several pictures to help verify the authenticity of my new racquet. the "6" on the cone code looks a little weird, but anyhow, here it is.

damn, for an extra 5 bucks, i'd go for the jp version every day of the week ...

[Matt]

I rather pay < 190 dollars for getting the same JP coded model racket anyday!!

[w_i_n_d]

Yea... I prefer the jp version. The paint job on jp is flawless whereas the sp has some minor flaws. And I'm pretty picky about the paint job :(

But what happen was, I actually bought the jp (my technique) a while back, when the canadian dollar was still high... when I went back to get the sp (my power) a few months later the exchange rates sucked... it would've worked out to ~250... so that's not worth it anymore.

Matt where do you find top of line rackets < 190?!?! you gotta hook me! especially jp ones!

Sorry, Matt is right on both cases. (Althought Drifit exaplaination is better) Also he bought his racquet from authorized dealer in Japan. So many of us are sure his racquet is real. Some of us doing charity business will sell at discount price, but not that discount.

first of all, why dont you question leehsim that is he/her real?
why do we need to believe leehsim can check through the list?
where does leehsim get the list?

i am in Malaysia. never heard or never will hear anytime soon that Yonex Armortec 900 is sold or will be selling at RM400 per piece. i did say that RM400 for new bought is sound fishy. he did not reply. maybe i need to be more observative. please forgive me.

dear grandmasters,
how do we check, whether the shop or dealer is an authorized from Yonex?

do or will, authorized shops/dealers selling fake Yonex rackets? :eek:

[Matt]

dear grandmasters,

To check for Yonex authorized dealers in your area, contact Yonex of the applicable country.

For example, if it is a US dealer - contact Yonex USA, Canada - contact Yonex Canada.

Yonex authorized dealers will sell genuine rackets. If the dealer decides to go to the dark side and sell counterfeits, they are in very big trouble!!

[silentheart]

For example, if it is a US dealer - contact Yonex USA, Canada - contact Yonex Canada.

Sorry Matt, I have to make fun of Yonex Canada sometime when opptertunity present itself. I still think Yonex CAN should have theor own website because they do sell other spec for the same model Yonex USA carry. Since Canada is not the 51st state of United State, it should have it's own web site. Would you agree?:D:D:D

I do not understand why some people want to write in a language other than English in this forum? There are forums where they can discuss topics in their mother languages.

I do not find writing Chinese funny or warm-feeling even though I speak, read and write Chinese myself. I think it's a huge disrespect to fellow forumers from around the world.

So there will be threads and posts in Arabic, French, German, Japanese, Korean, Swedish?? Just imagine what this forum will become....

yes. in fact, English is the mandatory language. sometimes we do allow posting of articles from other languages as long as the member provide a translation.

Well actually this would be common sense in pretty much all forums where the language used would be ones it should be written in.

while the low final bid on the racket concerns me, it seems pretty authentic to me as the shaft is as hard as a diamond and its very light so if someone could tell me whether it is fake or not i would appreciate it

It's fake; the serial code says it was manufactured 2001, but nanospeed 8000 wasn't out till ~2004 or 2005.

[leehsim]

yes, here at BC, it should and shall be English language. some do keep on to be stubborn.

first of all, why dont you question leehsim that is he/her real?
why do we need to believe leehsim can check through the list?
where does leehsim get the list?

I am in Malaysia. never heard or never will hear anytime soon that Yonex Armortec 900 is sold or will be selling at RM400 per piece. i did say that RM400 for new bought is sound fishy. he did not reply. maybe i need to be more observative. please forgive me.
My reply to the highlighted above.

When this thread was started in Year 2002 by kwan asking for members to post their Yonex rackets models, shaft serial nos., cone codes, etc a timeline (from cone date codes) was created with the serial nos. I chanced upon this thread and keep a list of model, serial number, date code, owner, etc for all "genuine" Yonex rackets posted. This the information list I kept all the time. I did not obtain from Yonex. That answer the last part highlighted above.

I have stressed many time that valid serial number and date code is the 1st step towards ID of genuine Yonex racket. Physcial examination of racket in hand is very important as well. Matt have done a very good job in this department.

Everybody can have every reason not to believe me especially I have put up a disclaimer statement to all my reply.
The most recent Yonex racket I owned is TI10 serial no. of 5639913 and 070757SP (date=07 Jul 2005) which I bought from an authorised Yonex racket dealer in Singapore. I have tried very hard to buy fake "Yonex" racket form badminton shops in Singapore. None of them wish to sell me.

Lastly it is up to you to believe leehsim verification; my answer to why do we need to believe leehsim can check through the list?

[pyrophil87]

sorry to say this again but other people are having their codes checked near instantly and mine have been up all day (i know thats not long, but its a lot longer than instant)

my post with the serial codes has been put up twice previously with no reply let alone acknowledgement...im sorry if it sounds like im moaning but i only have a short time to return the product if they are fake (if someone needs me to repost my serial codes again then i can but they can be found on page 176 and 177)

cheers to anyone who replies

First thing is that Leehsim does not check on Ebay. Second, you did not specify the completed auction number to verify that has been purchased. Third, this is a countefeit seller.

well as i said thanks for replying...im sorry to ask but can i at least have someone check the serial codes or explain how i can check them myself...the reason being is that the rackets were (before i got the buy one get one half price deal) bought at a genuine bargain price...finally ive checked all the physical characteristics on the racket and they seem genuine...in response to you saying he does not check ebay well im pretty sure ive seen a lot of ebay ones checked on here
my completed auction number is - 250235268675
if you type that number into the search bar you can see the information about the auction...any help is greatly appreciated and as i say i would really like the serial codes to be checked as it looks genuine

dear grandmasters,
how do we check, whether the shop or dealer is an authorized from Yonex?

do or will, authorized shops/dealers selling fake Yonex rackets? :eek:
Smart question there DriFit (i.e legitimate dealers, how bout also SRP's of each models)....Am nice guys..I know there are other threads for these.

[Dreamzz]

i think we're all forgetting here than leehsim, matt and several other members are providing a voluntary service based on their personal expertise. it is not going to be 100% accurate all the time, nor do they claim it to be. also, since it is voluntary, they aren't going to provide guarantees on any of their advice, if you're unhappy about the way they do things or don't want to take their advice for any reason, that choice is ultimately yours to make. i think it's unfair to abuse them for a service which many members have found very useful.

This is the point i've been driving at since, but somehow was mis understood. This thread is just for the verification our our yonex rackets authentecity based on a laymans knowledge of the product and not on the MANUFACTURERS. So, it is with us if we agree with them or not. No point arguing as per their comment and recommendations of our yonex's. We can always check it out somewhere "IF..i say IF, WE ARE REALLY SERIOUS IN FINDING IT OUT ITS AUTHENTICITY" For the sake of this thread, just post what is being ask of us to post for the verification of our yonex's. This is not to mess up this thread. Instead, am asking that we provide a more viable proof to all our verifications.

If you're rushing up..you should have inquired at the manufacturers website.:rolleyes:

[butch]

To check for Yonex authorized dealers in your area, contact Yonex of the applicable country.

For example, if it is a US dealer - contact Yonex USA, Canada - contact Yonex Canada.

Yonex authorized dealers will sell genuine rackets. If the dealer decides to go to the dark side and sell counterfeits, they are in very big trouble!!

the reason why i am posting this is because i like to grip my racket all the way over the cone, however, one day i decided to re grip the racket, when i took out the old grip, i noticed that the cone code with the print were chipping away. :crying:
(the grip did have a very strong glue in the back, it also teared a lot of the leather off, so i dont no if its the glue if it is cause my racket is fake. on the day i bought it,i had a friend who owned a nanospeed 9000s come with me and we compared both racket. it looked exactly the same.)

[Dropshots]

This thread is one of the best ever i go through in BC. Interesting inquiry about our equipments and discussions too. Keep it up buddies so as to break the monotomy of just posting serial numbers.

[Dreamzz]

that alone shouldn't be a problem.
i grip all my racquets up to the shaft, and some of my serials have come off as well, the problem is that they are just engraved into the first layer of the paint work and like you said, the glue on the grip is so strong that it actually tears out that paintwork when you replace it.
i wouldn't worry about the authenticity, as long as you get it from a reputable source.

1) CY do sell auth Yonex TW coded racquet.
2) It is real. The laser engraving do come off with age. Also the overgrip tape will take off some of the "White" filler. As long as the ser # engraving is there. it is fine.

Yep. Dreamzz right. Had to be sure with the money youre going to invest on that racket. Lets send a message to them that they cant always rip people off and goes away with it.;)

thanks silentheart, the lay of paint is coming completely off, with part of my cone code, not the white laser engraving, but the whole thing.
anyways i think dreamzz is right, the engraving seems to be on the first lay of paint. so i was just sad that it lost its code. :crying:
but as long as its real, i am happy, i am not planing to resale it or anything so it shouldnt be too much of a problem.

This is not a purchase racket, it does not belong in this thread (shopping inquires not permitted).

I do not understand why some people want to write in a language other than English in this forum? There are forums where they can discuss topics in their mother languages.

I do not find writing Chinese funny or warm-feeling even though I speak, read and write Chinese myself. I think it's a huge disrespect to fellow forumers from around the world.

So there will be threads and posts in Arabic, French, German, Japanese, Korean, Swedish?? Just imagine what this forum will become....

I believe there's also a reason why some ppl prefer to speak in their own language,since they think that english is their barrier to talk to others the way they meant to.Some of us here doesn't have a good english to speak freely around the forum.

But again,it's true that english is a mandatory language in this place.So,my advice is..use english,even though ur english is not very good.As long as we can all understand what u r trying to say,it's ok.

Peace..;)

Fake; shaft serial is wayy too low for the date code. Even 2007 racquets have serial numbers 7xxxxxx and higher.

This is not a purchase racket, it does not belong in this thread (shopping inquires not permitted).
What's the logic of this thread then? Buy first and we'll see if you've been ripped off or not? I understand that this thread is about verifyng whether what we have is fake or not And it has been mentioned that there's a separte thread for shopping enquiries. But so far, this thread is the one active with regards to the matter i.e verification. Can't we help?:confused:

I think you already get the logic. Follow the rules of what the thread asks. This is an owner's thread, not a shopper's thread.

Will help as long as people do the correct thing. Remember it's our obligation.

Im pretty sure that it's a fake. The cone code indicates it was made in the year of 2006, but the Armortec 900 series was released in 2007.
