Help Me Identify This Victor MX 80 (with pics)

**eric0630** · 04-14-2012, 01:10 PM

Hi guys, I just bought a MX80 from my local store. I found that my MX80 has white laser code instead of black as shown in this thread. Besides, the fonts are also look different.

Now I am wondering if my MX80 is fake

Since I am new to victor racket, I need some help
from fellow BC-ers, looking forward to hear your thoughts~

I have included some pics here (Sorry for fuzzy pics as only have Galaxy S for taking pics

). Thanks in advance.

I know e78 should be legit, but still wondering the difference on my MX80.

It looks genuine to me. O.o Just my opinion.

I have the similar racket, i bought it from a seller claim it is a TW coded racket purchase from a local legit shop.
Overall it look like genuine, as there is some vibration at the handle, 4U but feel like 3U.

I just went to Chris's shop in SG. They are selling TW and SGcode MX80. He mention that TW quality is better than SG and slightly more expensive. He visited the tawian factory and so far Meteor series are all made in Tawian. BS and other model are mostly made in china. I have verified mine is genuine.
Your racket from pics look real, probably you can bring your racket down to local legit shop dealer ro verify.
Cheers! Good luck to you! =)
