Is this Nanospeed 9900 fake?

[Xuyesi]

I bought this Nanospeed, it looks real but I'm not sure. The seller is from ebay, but he has a very good rating. Could someone help comfirm if the racquet is real or not?
By the way, should the nanospeed have grommets on the inside?
Second, should the nanospeed be able to bend easily because i can bend the shaft, without too much effort?
racket model: Yonex Nanospeed 9900
shaft serial: 7575174
cone code : 050110SP
The serial and cone code are laser etched not imprinted and the Logos are very clear, not blurry. The blurriness is from the camera.

Look at the bag, lol, and look at the racket

The printed stuff on the racket for 3UG4 is just weird lmaoo

050110SP means that the racket was made on January 5th, 2001...and I'm sure you realize that NS9900 was not created until recently.

Same thing, but I was wondering what if a racket was made in 2010, what would be the number? :rolleyes:

Also another way to tell exactly if the racket is fake is to look at the hologram sticker.
if you can't see the racket paint through it then it is fake.
in your case it is fake :P

From what I've heard and seen they've just gone to "0" for that spot.

I can't think of a single racket that has been in production for more than 10 years (ignoring the Ti-10 gen 1/2/3) so can't imagine there being any mistakes about the production year.

Sorry for you.

Can you highlight which seller that you purchased the racket from and why did you mentioned the seller have a good reputation?

Thanks.

Easily fake

1. Shouldn't be easy to flex.
2. 3ug4 printing isn't aligned nor is it crisply printed
3. Bag shouldn't be wrinkly like that. Even keeping an authentic bag folded for a month doesn't make creases like that.
4. The serial is too shiny and the shaft serial looks sketch.

Need pictures of the grip itself but i don't think it will move my decision.

Agree with everyone above that it's a genuine fake!

1. PBSI logo is all misaligned... real one is perfect.
2. Font of the 3UG4 is the fake font
3. Cone serial # "gap spacing" is all uniform between the numbers... real ones are more "messy"
4. Serial code itself says it was made in 2001 which can't be possible since it's a new design
5. Racquet bag is made from the fake softer material that leaves impressions... real bags are more firm and won't flex like that.

NEGATIVE FEEDBACK THE SELLER!!!

Hey, don't worry. It looks original to me. Stiff means you sure can bend it slightly. Hope you paid around USd 180-200 for it.
