http://www.ebay.de/itm/Badminton-Ra...hlägersportarten_Schläger&hash=item3a71aaf2a1 Is this fake? On the picture you can see that it is SP version, does this mean lower quality? Thanks for help
SP has the same meaning as GR, but in any case I would most definitely avoid. The racket bags look fake so this person has definitely been in touch with fake rackets before since these don't even belong to these rackets ...
b careful when u buy from unknown sources they can easily place a genuine racket photo but what u received when they ship isnt..the same thing...
Yep, just got interested because its from Austria by private seller. Would not buy something from Hong Kong or China. Are you sure that SP serial number is the same quality as other codes from Europe? I heard that it means lower quality. And btw way: What means IP coded?
Probably falsely spread after experience with the many fakes with this code out there . SP region is the biggest market for Yonex so it makes the most sense to copy those and the average income there is also lower so fakes become more interesting for the locals as well.
SP code should be same with europe one like demolidor said, SP has the biggest market share, that is why there are many fakes out there with SP code maybe those people who said lower, they buy the fake one and not satisfied with it. buy Europe code such as BX, UK, etc and it plays much better because it's genuine one IP is.. I forgot, something Pacific actually it means this racket is not specify for one country. Yonex make it when they don't have specific country in their mind, so it's like extra stock and then they release it when needed
Coincidentaly here you can see that professional players are also using SP coded rackets: http://www.badmintoncentral.com/for...rrent-professionals-use?p=1864424#post1864424 I also know some of the russian national team players play(ed) with SP coded and one of the top international women's players, Saina Nehwal, was also spotted using one.
