    I have received 2 more fake Victor racket for re-string(BS 11,12).Both with Coded My or My CNE .Especially,BS 12.Heard that
    someone is selling direct to player at SGD$140.When the selling price is Min SGD$180 and above(after discount).China retail price is RMB1360(SGD$275).The customer even told me that it plays funny.Of course,the weight and flex is wrong.Even with vibration when you hit the string with your palm.Most of the time these people that sell fake rackets,are those players that
    goes to the court and sell to their friend or online selling,claiming that it is 2nd hand with mint condition.Victor racket
    high end rackets have a standard Min.selling price.No such issue saying that he(seller)has got ways or lobang from factory
    backdoor or others such reasons.Beware:rolleyes:

    My BS12 is TW coded.
    I assume it's real because of the paintwork and the store itself seems trustworthy enough, carrying MX80, The Legend, BS11 + BS10, Spira 22, SW37, etc.

    yes, buy from reputable and who prices you are comfortable with. it's a free market, buying from a cheaper reputable and established seller.

    is there any other way to identify fake victor racket such as we post the shaft and cone shaft serial numbers to bc's thread (just like identifying fake yonex racket in bc) ? :) i guess if there is any bc's member that knowledgeable on identfying fake victor racket based on the serial numbers just like yonex, i think we can feel relief knowing that we r keeping an original victor racket :)

    bro, i bought mine from Hock Eng in Bangi, not very far away from kajang. Its coded with MYC. mind telling me anyway that its not fake other that it should be coded TW?

    haha i'm starting to feel bad, bought it 6 mths back for rm470. of course, i'm a newbie, so no idea how it should feel like when hitting.
