Pls help to verify if the racket is genuine. Thanks! Just in case the image is not clear. Shaft serial no. is 3337967. The sticker block the cone number....
no butt cap or the bag? honestly, I cannot say if it is genuine or not without the cone code but the number, 3XXXXXX looks plausible to me everything looks good, the only concern that I have is the sunrise sticker did you peel it or it peeled off by themselves? the sunrise sticker should not bee peeled off easily..
Thanks Avenger. I will post the photo of the butt cap and bag after I take it later. I tried to see the cone code thus peel the side of the sunrise sticker. Is it possible that the marking of 3UG4 overlapping the PBSI logo and is it normal that the cone code is at the lower part of the cone? Thanks
I saw it recently (about this problem) http://www.badmintoncentral.com/forums/showthread.php/115073-Yonex-Voltric-Z-Force-SP-genuine-or-fake..-please-help and it is a Z-force too, I think it is manufacturer's fault
The other z-force is it genuine? Hmm this is causing me sleepless night... should i just remove the sunrise sticker and see the cone code? Also is it normal that my cone code number is located at the lower portion of the cone? Thanks Avenger
Sunrise stickers are very easy to peel off nowadays. Even the new shipments come with the sticker half-peeled from the heat. I managed to remove the one on my Nanoray completely without much trouble, when back in the days you could very easily peel the paint off the cone on sticker removal. Thank goodness the Yonex one remains virtually indestructable.
I bought a pair of ZF LTD from MBS and the sunrise stickers came like that. I peeled off one and it came off easily, that was cuz I'm actually using it. The other one looks exactly like yours. It's genuine, looks good. I'm not sure if the PBSI shield is supposed to be like that, but it is like that for both of mine.
agree with Desouled.... the same goes on the sunrise sticker on my VT70.... i can peel it if i want, but have to do it slowly as the sticker not like normal sticker.... looking at the butt cap, yes, the racket is genuine....
The butt cap picture looks suspicious. It doesn't look the same with the one provided in the website. http://www.yonex.com/sports/badminton/products/badminton/warning-counterfeits
