Onid,

I can disprove the IP code because I can ask a friend for mine who lives in Indonesia to simply walked into a Yonex authorized dealer and to simply purchase any Yonex racket and it will be IP coded as they will only sell their country coded racket.

You are probably correct to say that the Indonesia professional players sponsored by Yonex gets rackets which is IP coded however it does not change the original definition that IP stands for Indonesia.

Their reply is that they can't reveal the information due to their company policy. This is to safeguard against counterfeit.

I believe some other people have tried to get it out of them before. Needless to say, Yonex didn't give the information then either. Thanks for trying though.

I doubt the knowledge of what one digit meant would help people to fake though - the cone and shaft codes still wouldn't necessarily match.

I suggest you check the shaft serial and cone code of your Armortec 900 Power. If there are still the same in Post #7020, then the following applied:

I have checked in the information of your Yonex Yonex Armortec 900 Power shaft Serial:6653199; Cone Code:240172SP (date=24 Jan 2007) to my information list of Yonex rackets made in Japan.

For the cone code of 240172SP (date=24 Jan 2007), the valid shaft serial should be close to 6641550.

For the shaft serial of 6653199, the valid cone code should be something like 2901772CC (date=29 Jan 2007).

IMHO,your Yonex Armortec 900 Power shaft Serial:6653199; Cone Code:240172SP (date=24 Jan 2007) is a fake.

Please check both serials. They shouldn't be in formats like those.

IMO, that shaft serial looks far too low for the cone code. I could be wrong though.

if i understood, you think my yonex is a fake. I play with it until more than a year and i didn't break it. If it's a fake, it's a very good fake.
can you confirm your opinion or not?
thanks a lot for your answer.

You understood me correctly but I only think it might be a fake. I don't have a database of serials so I can only work from serials that people with databases (most often, the user "leeshim") have already verified or an incline. In this case, I saw your shaft serial, thought it was rather low and the search I did on verified NS9Ks seemed to confirm this. Of course, this method is rather crude and you should wait for someone else to confirm my suspicions.

That's the trouble with fakes nowadays, they are generally rather good and very difficult to tell from the real thing.

Anyway, I hope you can get a definite answer soon and I'm sorry I can't help more.

[Danstevens]

NS9000 wasn't even out in 2005 too...

The serial suggests it was made late '05 meaning despite not being released until '06, it could've been one of the very earliest. Still, I am pretty sure it's fake so we'll just wait for someone to confirm our suspicions.

this is the usual answer when other members suggest that someone else's racket is counterfeit.

If the racket suits you well and had not paid a price that seem to rip you off,
then don't mind if you'll discover that its not authentic. Only a few here can really see the difference. One can tell by the physical appearance and the other thru the serial codes. So, if it feels good....smash with it kiddo

I have a genuine racket that is made on the same day and the serial is very very close to the one you have. It should be genuine but wait for leeshim to verify to be 100% sure.

Please re-check the cone code. If that is the cone code, that racket is very fake. There is no 86th day in the 46th month and I don't know if the NS8000 was released in 2005 anyway (although that's probably the least of your worries considering the rest of the cone code). For an '05 Nanospeed, the shaft serial would be much lower as well.

I have checked in the information of your Yonex Nanospeed 9000 shaft Serial:3164759; Cone Code:121152JP (date=12 Nov 2005) to my information list of Yonex rackets made in Japan.

For the cone code of 121152JP (date=12 Nov 2005), the valid shaft serial should be close to 5815000.

For the shaft serial of 3164759, the valid cone code should be somthing likes 10071xCC (date=10 Jul 2001).

Yonex Nanospeed 9000 was launched in the market in Jan 2006.

[gregory90210]

with that shaft serial and cone code, it is fake.
20th day, 78th month......

is there anybody who played at one training the same model of fake racquet and original. I know that fake is just fake but I bough it and now I have problem because I cannot return. So I wonder if to play with it, maybe it is very close to original or I need to get rid off it..
I wonder if the factories who makes fake can use the sametechnology to Yonex original? The weight of my Arcsaber is 84grams so it is very accurate, how they are doing it so well? It may be also that this factory who make the fakes cooperate with Yonex making brand name original and fakes for themselves, it happens. Any idea? Any satisfied fake racquet players?

[gregory90210]

about the fakes I think that it may be not 100% sure that according to the numbers we can say "fake". Look, the easiest way to copy the racquet is to print "correct" numbers. Pepole who copy they know exactly the rules of Yonex nubers. For example my Arcsaber has cone code 207870CH which means that it was produced in month 78.. I thing the copier would not be so stupid to put such number if he was so clever to copy the racquet itself with the weight etc.. Maybe Yonex for Chinese market put different numbers because first of all this is big market and they probably produce it cheaper for this market, do not want to migrate the racquets to Europe. I think this way because I know that many good players use such racquet with "stupid" number with CH at the end, of course because of price but they are satisfied. But anyway even if some Yonex worker knows something about it and read this post he will not tell the truth. What do you think?

fake is fake... if the price is too good to be true than u shld know the answer... Yonex will not make a racket that is real with wrong cone code... try to return or find the seller if u can... if not maybe u shld play with it who knows u will like the fake racket than the real arc 10 feel:rolleyes:

about the price we could be surprised how is the pure production cost of the racquet. The same is with Nike shoes which you pay in the shop >100 USD and cost of production in China is maybe 20USD. Marketing and administration costs are very high and somebody have to pay for it. So I am not sure if the good price is an answer if the racquet is fake if the racquet goes directly from the factory overcoming the "brand name" distribution system

No-one outside of Yonex knows and no-one inside Yonex is allowed to tell. I'd love to know too but I doubt we ever will. Yonex say the reason for keeping it so secret is because if the information was released, it would make faking easier.

I'm looking to buy his racket, I want to make sure it isn't a fake. It looks real (MP strip, curving cone, clean paint job, etc) but I just want to take this one last precaution before I buy it.

This thread is for your OWN rackets. Use the other thread for buying inquires if you want to know if it is fake or not.
