I wonder if this is genuine or not? I know fakers tend not to write 'genuine' in their product but still. If it is, i might sell of my PG Arc 10 and Yehlex for that....

Yup..its genuine

[Boggieeiggob]

Pretty sure its real. It from Calibre Australia
But you can get a better deal of squash_mart (ebay) and if your paying so much just for a nano 9900 you can get a newer series
It's genuine and if you contact him he can probaly give it to
you for direct trade (through paypal)
and will save around $30-50 AUD
He will also offer you a list of string you he has.
Whereas calibre charge alot for high quality string.

Hope this helps

As the other person says (sorry, memory like a goldfish and can't check on phone), it's a JP model so it will cost more. Thanks for the help anyway though

That is an imported JP model, that is why the price is so high. You can get a local NS9900 in Europe for a lot less so no need to get it from Taiwan either ... (can probably get a JP one from Japan for less as well at the current exchange rate)
But indeed Calibre is an authorized Yonex dealer (as can be found on the list of Australian Yonex dealers) so he should also have cheaper AS coded NS9900 around (cheaper than JP anyway ).
And if our enquirer had used the search function I'm sure "Calibre" would have popped up a few times and given him the answer already ...
Iirc the owner of Calibre has an account here on BC as well

Hehe, thanks calibre is the seller here so I don't quite know what you mean ><' I've decided not to get it and try sell off my other racquets to try and get a nice imported Z slash instead. Wonder of JP or SP is nicer...
Thanks for the help though

How does this look? I don't understand how he can say "genuine, but printing in china isn't perfect" o_O

They are all fake if you see "class A/b/g".

But why is he allowed to write "class g is genuine" and get away with it? Because surely if it's a fake/clone then he wouldn't be allowed to write that

It says the inner frame is "genuine" but the painting is not. How can you going to examine the inner frame? No way. However, it is possible that they copy the same specs and create similar feel to use.

Yeah I was very suspicious about that, because the description says you cat check the code and that it's made in China (or something like that) but it's a JP code so a) surely there can't be this many anomalies in the production line and b) surely it's supposed to be made in Japan? ESP if it's a JP code :/

It is simply fake, but the best fake in the market. what described cannot be verified. That is the trick. It will be "genuine" as long as you believe it is. An lie that cannot be proved. Marketing.

Hahahaha, that sales tactic sounds so unbelievably illegal XD it would be great to watch yonex take them down for that

not worthy for Yonex. It is good to keep some fake to keep people's interests who cannot afford Yonex now. They are likely to move to genuine ones someday. At least they are not using competitors' products

Haha, I suppose. But it's all down to personal preference, and I like a mix of Li Ning and yonex

yeah, a racket is good as long as it fit you. Fake can be really good too. I am a beginner to badminton. Did not have a chance to try LINING yet. Just bought some Yonex to try. I want to try out the LINING and adidas LOL

Hehe yeah, I use a fake Voltric 80 as a training racket to strengthen my wrist and I use a Li Ning N50II as my main. Looking to get a z slash though, hence my authenticity enquiry earlier.from my point of view, Li Ning only really do like, medium to top end stuff whereas yonex does beginner to top end with like, the £5 sets for 4 players or whatever. I never knew Adidas did badminton although I don't plan on trying them ;p
