Fake Armortec 700??

[iSeeNubs]

So I recently got a AT700 Overseas, I have read some guide and for the big part it seems to be okay.

Some things which tell it's real

-Rectangular Grommets
-the "Japan" on the bottom has an A which looks like a triangle
-The Yonex Logo seems to be printed right
- Comes the the shrink wrap
-Distribution Code is in right format (Will list below)
-has hologram sticker
-----------------------------------------------------------------

As what I am unsure of, is on the shaft of the racquet is that it has the "CH" Distribution Code

Knowing I got it at a reputable store, in China, I'm sill not sure if it's supposed to have the "CH"

----------------------------------
Model: Armortec 700 Old Paint
Shaft Serial: 8492094

There is a proper way to poo. BTW it's fake.

AFAIK, the most sure-fire way to tell if a Yonex racquet is genuine or not is to remove the original leather grip and look for:

1. Phillip head screw near the end of the cone shaped wooden handle as it meets the octagonal part.

2. Sticker printing the specs of the racquet (for e.g. 3U 4 for 3UG4) a bar code. The earlier models are large and white in colour with black wording while the newer models are thinner and grey/black with white wording.

On other threads I found out that genuine rackets are being distributed to China now And I have the label and phillip head screw.
