About to buy racquet how to identify if its fake?

**jickman** · 07-13-2012, 07:40 PM

So actually im buying a racquet off another member in badminton central. I don't have much experience in identify if a racquet is real or fake. But i did search online about some detail factors regarding the racquet. I'm purchasing a AT900P, is there one way that I can easily identify if its fake or not? <br><br>Regarding serial Number i know its DDMMYXCC = what does the X usually stand for?

we have some assumptions about the X
it is either revision number, or batch number
we don't know for sure, so we ignore the X

Actually, it's funny. With this format, X is only a digit that can be 0-9. Does that mean Yonex produces only 10 rackets per day per distribution code?Or we will have 2 rackets with the same serials...

when we said "batch" that means it is not only 1
one batch is one cycle of production
one batch can consist of hundreds of racket

but kwun also said that it is revision number
which is also makes sense that we rarely see any X more than 6

P.S: the X cannot be 0
