Guys, I bought few rackets from my last trip to Japan. I just checked on ebay website a seller (bmn-2549 ( 3 )) from Thailand selling SP version. From the photos, he got completely different racket as compared to mine (colour, wording on racket.....). I am 100% sure with mine are not faked. Please find some photos of my racket and you can post yours as well just as a comparison. Have a look and let me know, it will be interesting to know that JP version is completely different with others. Ta, Phil
I am really sorry about the photos, I have taken about 20 times but still the same. It is all to do with shaky hand. I will try to take some more and post them here tonight. Sorry again about the photos quality. Phil
Here are some more photos as promised and this time I place my camera on cupboard but still..... Hopeless me...
I'm not sure why your camera is make the racket color appear really dull in the picture. The way I did it, use flash with the racket on the floor(avoid reflective surfaces like the cupboard) using the camera a few feet away. Since I also have the JP version. Here is teh picture where you can clearly see GUMMETAL here. A picture of the whole racket here. The non-JP version don't have GUMMETAL label and will look like this. ADDED: bmn-2549 is selling counterfit NS9000s.
