The differences between fake and genuine armotec 900p lcw

**TheSmasherKing** · 08-12-2011, 04:57 PM

hi there, im sorry if this kind of thread already exist in this forum... i've been searching for the same topic but i couldnt find one (or i might miss it)... anyway, im just curious about the differences between the fake and genuine armotec 900p LCW edition... i have 1 of this racket (given by my friend as a gift) and i never try genuine armotec 900p before... are there many differences? (besides the price

) for your info, my racket is 3UG5 and can be strung up to 25lbs ... (it has a heavy head frame... it seems like it's suits the criteria but i felt something is 'missing' when i play with it and im not sure what)... i would like to know the genuine criteria (weight, stiffness, tension,feeling,etc.) of this racket... so if anyone have tried the fake and genuine armotec 900 power lcw, would you share your experience here... thanx a lot... really appreciate your help

everythhing beneath the string job and the appearance are different.

we are not buying handbags here. rackets are more comparable to cars. will you buy a Chinese made car that looks like a Ferrari on the outside but got a cheap Chinese engine in the inside? if yes, then go ahead and buy the fake racket.

... from what u've said, it seems that there are a lot of difference in all aspects of the racket right?

Never get interested with fake racquets, the feel is totally different! save up and get a original one... and regardless of the 'grade' of the fake racquets, its still is different from the real thing

WAAAYYYy different!

you can easily spots them based on paintjobs of the rackets. the fake rackets obviously made of poor paintjob skills and cheap material, they can be strung at low tension. the butt cap is not shiny and dull colors, the grommets are cheapskate and the serial numbers are random. but the highest grade of the fake rackets are most identical to genuine, they can strung up to 28lbs and can only be spotted by looking at the buttcap and serials.

I had the "pleasure" of playing with a fake AT900P for 5 minutes and it's not hard at all to tell the difference to the real one. The shaft was way too flex and the frame stability was quite questionable. Yes, the "higher end" fake Yonex may have better paint job and details than cheaper ones, but indentical to genuine? you gotta be kidding me. Do you really think the fake racquet makers will go through the troubles of embedding three Ti-Ni alloy wires (Ultimum Ti) into the shaft of a fake AT700?

I like this. sums up the question

high end fakes can never even even even be near to the original one.... best advise, save up. don't go the short cut way. plus you can always sell back the ori racquet should there be anything

nope, i didn't said original racket's technologies are embedded in the fake racket, i'm just saying their paintjobs are ALMOST IDENTICAL. but not as same as original one. THERE ARE NO ULTIMUM TI, POWER ARMOR SYSTEM, ELASTIC Ti in fake rackets.
