    Hi all,

    I just bought a racquet this afternoon, the Nanospeed 8000. It was an impulse-buy and the shop looked dodgy as hell. I should have left the place immediately but bought this racquet anyway. Came home, stumbled across this website and realized I may have bought a fake!:crying:

    Shaft Code: 2575097
    Cone Code: 090515AS

    Can someone help me check up on this? Much appreciated. I'm from Australia.

    It is very difficult to check. Can you post some pictures about your racket ?

    I've attached the pictures as requested. The shop was more like a garage called 'Stadium Sports'. www.stadiumsports.net.au
    They quoted this racket for $130 AUD.

    well.. that's make it easy
    that dodgy-as-hell store is actually yonex authorised dealer :)

    the cone code and shaft serial is also acceptable
    the butt cap looks alright
    the bag is also good
    shaft serial and cone code also as expected

    It is a genuine racket

    Woah thank you very much! I walked into the shop and it looked exactly like a car garage. Very dim, a few badminton racquets. These few days I was thinking these guys sure made very convincing fakes! Good to hear they're genuine.

    Thanks once again!
