just out of curiosity, is there any stamp marks on the wooden handle of both rackets? some sort of date codes etc...
all of my n series and kason tsf rackets all had some sort of a stamp mark on the wooden handles, some sort of production date/batch codes.
Sorry to comment this, looks like they change their OEM/supplier. How do they play? My guess will be the older one will be stiffer n somewhat harder to manouver.
N90 2nd gen logo your 2nd gen logo, seems like its a single stroke instead of two separate strokes? perhaps due to camera angle? from my picture, bottom up N70II, N90 2nd gen and N80 on top.
eagle eyes! I liked the n90 so much, I went to the store and bought a brand new one (new logo). I found some interesting details. share it here later when I get back it's not like what I showed in my first post.
All 3 racquets together. - The easiest difference to spot is the top frame. Old Logo and the New Logo (Bought from local store) have a fading transition from white (or silver) to black. whereas the one i got from BC Member has a distinct line changing from white (or silver) to black. - inside of frame at 3 o'clock position where TB Nano is written. Hexagon on Old Logo and New Logo (local store) is white and Black. another new logo (BC member) is Gold and black. - Shaft length is the same for my old logo and new logo (local store) - Grommets on Old Logo is all black. New Logo (local store) is red and other colours. The other new logo (BC Member) is all black. - the scratch verification on the one i got in my local store, after scratching, has a small badminton logo. The one i got from BC member, does not have. But both says its authentic. pictures can be found here: N90 From Local Store All three N90
Hi jasontyh, thank you for the information! As mentioned in another thread, I have the latest N90 with the silver 2-strokes logo on the butt cap. To my surprise, it is less head heavy than my N90III, not to mentioned the VTZF! I just wonder whether your latest N90 is also less head heavy than the one with the old red logo! Thanks!
fake rackets.. 2 out of 3 is fake... 1) there is no silver old logo 2) red grommet throughout is also fake.. 3) old red logo maybe real..
red and mixed colors. Bought from authorized Li Ning retailer. still, might have a chance it's fake. the one from BC member is probably not real. which is unfortunate for me.
