But it never said it was Yonex...so it might not exactly be fake. But then again it is pretty cheap! so i would be doubtful about the materials they use...

RKEP Armortec 750 vs Yonex Armortec 700
Carbon4 + Ti vs H.M. Graphite + Ultimum Ti

£30 for a Yonex wannabe... Factor in the Karakal PU lookalike grips... Unknown strings... I'd personally keep away...
Unless prices are that inflated, £30 should be able to get you a decent entry level racket.

My personal rule of thumb on e-bay is: If you don't know, don't even try. There are too many "traps" out there, and surely not a gold mine. It's especially true, when it comes to badminton racket shopping. :cool:

I wouldn't be too surprised to see it on Ebay. Yes, it is not Yonex. Yes, it says it is only 30quids. You can get these kind of rackets in Taiwan easily.

There are small factories in Taiwan that make these make to order rackets. They can call it any names, like nanospeed, armortec as long as it is not against the copyright laws in that area. Of course, you do not expect them to be as good as the top-end Yonex at the end of the day. To be honest, those China made low end 20quid rackets are probably much worse than this particular one at Ebay.

But then, if you don't have 30quids to spare, jsut go for the safer options then.
