I've been wondering where people get such racquet indicators as CN, SP, etc. I just got an mp77 and the serial number says something like xxxxxxxCD, I don't recall the exact number of digits and I don't have my racquet at hand right now so I can't check but would the CD be as the CN, SP, etc. are or is it a whole 'nother thing? What does it mean anyway? Are they regional codes? And how do you know if a racquet is fake? Thanks.

CD = Canada

Yes they are regional codes, CD=Canada, US=US :) , HK=Hong Kong, etc.

Is it possible to tell if a racquet is fake just by checking it's serial number?

i wouldn't worry that yours is a fake. we haven't seen any fake CD rackets.

maybe if all the numbers are zero. :D

You only have to worry if your racket is fake is if they mispell Yonex or something..... ;)

that's very true. most of the fake have flaws. and most of the flaws are very obvious. so obvious sometimes i wonder if they were deliberate. i mean, if someone spent so much energy, and technical experise to build a racket factory to produce fake racket (it does take some skills to produce a racket, fake or not), why would they make such small mistakes as misspelling the model name or brand name?

makes me wonder.

I think it's so that you can't sue them because although the racquet is a clone it doesn't use the same name.
