That's a fake, as:
The plastic wrap is too long, the font of "CH" is wrong(should be italic), and the Ti on the frame is wrong-shaped (should be arrow-shaped).

The seller is the king of the fakes, he is from China and he dominates the fakes market in China. You can find him/her easily at eBay in China as he is selling tons of fakes there (in various colors)

I asked him to send me some pictures.
Can someone please tell me if they are real or fake?
Thanks!

It looks OK to me

(by those two pictures)

Yeah he claims that they are spare rackets... He's got like 6 others and he hardly use this one that's why he's selling it. He also got a MP100 US version... TW version must be not as good as the US version... hehe

I don't think that's a logical statement

Perhaps he have paint chips at his US rackets so he couldn't sell them? There are many other causes, and it's very hasty to say something is better than something just based on the sales.

Hi all...not sure if this link has already been posted but this thread is the hardest to search. anyway here's the link

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...107946516&rd=1

everything looks authentic but correct me if i'm wrong. according to the international yonex website the at800 with 4u only comes in the grip size of g4. this seller has specs of the racket saying that it's 4u with g5. am i just over-inspecting the racket? here's the link to the international site

Yonex does have AT800 in 4UG5 in many countries, such as Japan and Taiwan.

The color does not look right, and the wrap on handle is loose. I think those are fakes.

agree. 100% fake. for the follow 4 reasons:

price: too low. below wholesale price
color: wrong
grip wrap: loose
grommets: no at800 stringing pattern holes in the top corners.

i recently bought two Armortec 700's off this seller and i'm waiting for them to arrive in shipping, i could take pictures for you guys if you want but as most have confirmed there's a good chance they're not fake

Time to check how much you know about fakes and see how much they have improved.....

http://cgi6.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI....ort=3&since=-1

Arm1000?
Arm900?
Those are the no-brainers.

Why would anyone buy from this "seventh planet from the sun"?

Another question.
Does it mean anything that this vendor of fake Yonex rackets also sells Wilson tennis rackets....
