    Hi guys, I urgently your advise of the authenticity of my JP Coded Yonex VTIF racquet. I just got this racquet from Rakuten Japan and ship it over to Malaysia.

    By referring to Yonex's counterfeit webpage:http://www.yonex.com/company/warning-counterfeits/

    The butt cap looks very suspicious. The green colour is a bit light, the Logo top right corner has quite a bad paint job, and the "JAPAN" word has uneven thickness.

    If you refer to the rest of the photos, you'll notice the Serial Code is a bit faded.

    Is this normal or my racquet is a counterfeit?

    Thanks in advance.

    Thanks guys, just wondering, how do you determine the authenticity based on my pictures (as in which section do you usually check)?

    And sorry for posting in the wrong section, thanks for moving it to the right section.
