Hi, I bought a Yonex ArcSaber Z-slash racket on 25/04/2013. I played with and it feels good, but the Yonex logo from the string is coming out very easily. After one hour of playing most of the paint from the string is out. So it is bothering me whether it is a Genuine or fake racket. My Racket Detail: Serial Number: 3654259 ( Shaft Code) Cone Code: 270722FR Bought it from: badminton-sportshop from Amazon.co.uk Price: £133.00 +£4.08( PP) Please let me if you require any more information. Thanks, Nash
that price looks about right. Now, you can't really tell if it's fake or not just by looking at the string. have a look at this website and then take a closer inspection of ur racket http://www.yonex.com/sports/badminton/products/badminton/warning-counterfeits Hope that will solve your problem.
I have had this with several yonex rackets from legitimate UK shops. Paul also mentions this in his badminton blog. http://badminton-coach.co.uk/4786/yonex-arcsaber-11-badminton-racquet-review/
