Bear with me, I know you can't see much (my camera was NOT made to shoot close range) but if anymore pictures are needed just ask me.

The serial number is 5961481 if that helps, the date number is covered by a sunrise sticker and it's a 2UG5.

i'm sure you can shoot at close range. (proof is the last photo)
the camera is just assuming thats not what you're wanting to capture with the auto-focus.

do you have manual focus settings on your camera?
if not, you can try to find macro focus settings on your model.
if all else fails, and you're stuck with auto focus, find a large object, such as a book cover, put it in front of your camera, hold down the shutter button half way, and hold it. it will acquire focus, and you can move the book and replace it with the racquet at the same distance.

Can you take a clear shot of the cone?

FYI, the marco mode is usually a "flower" logo on the camera.

Could you weigh your racquet before you put a grip on it? I'm interested in finding out weight variations of the 2U NS9000, thanks.

As it has both hologram stickers, the rectangular and oval one, it should be real insofar as no one in BC has reported a racquet where the counterfeiters used fake hologram stickers (of course, you could be the unlucky first one...)

G4 or G5? I'm guessing yours is G4?

just to update u on my 2U vs 3U G5 weighing the same - 92g with BG66 string and plastic wrapper, no grip. I managed to get some playing time over the weekend with both. The 2U definitely 'feels' heavier than the 3U due to the balance point.

(usual disclaimer, 1 sample is statisically insignificant, just my 0.02cents :))

Though the pictures are quite blur, i can surely tell the racket is real. Jthebest, I don't think you should worry much.

OK from what most say it's real. (not that I expected it was fake, but didn't hurt to check) And thanks for the great camera tips:D.

Anyways the reason it was a 2U is because the racket I've been using before was a 2U and I had no problem with it and I heard that 2U 9ks were more powerful than 3Us so I decided for the 2U.

Also it's a G5 but it came with plastic wrapping on it.

mine is G5.
If your case 2u weighing similar to a 3u, I just can't see why yonex change the b.p. between these 2. The whole point of choosing between 2u and 3u is for changing 1 variable, the weight. If yonex start changing bp and the weight because yonex trying to guess what 3u suppose to perform, then that engineer is chasing a wild goose because no engineer can guess what i like on a 3u over a 2u.

it's like saying if i order an optional bigger oem engine on my car, the factory will rebalance the front to rear weight ratio of the car for me?
