I just bought AT900T from a forummer here in BC. Its IP code as well...serial 8470715, 220494IP. Feel unsure about it coz... 1) the weight and grip size is engrave/printed. My previous racket manufactured in year 2006 uses sticker to indicate the grip size and weight. Not sure for newer racket? 2) No gunmetal wording on the racket frame? I once own a JP AT900T with gunmetal wording on its frame. Not sure about SP or IP code should has the gunmetal wording or not? 3) Yonex logo on the butt cap looks fishy/cheap plastic. Anyhow just posted the serial other thread to verify it authenticity. Hope it is legit.
This is what I meant with see through/ transparent gold YY hologram sticker. I don't think it is actually underneath the PBSI decal (itsygo08 should look more carefully) I'd say this racket is a perfectly fine SP/IP version ...
No more stickers since somewhere in 2008 production It is guMmetal, not guNmetal and yes it is only used on JP code instead of Elastic Ti (copyright issue)
It has been awhile since I last bought a Yonex racket..some 5-6 years ago i think..a little bit lost on the changes of latest Yonex racket production. Anyhow..thanks for the clarification . On second though..the buttcap seems fine after some research on google.
