    looks like mine to me. Do you have the indentations around 5 & 7 o'clock? I'm not sure any clone racquets would have those.

    you need to lower the contrast a little on the picture, I cant see what i'm looking for.

    The white sections of the lower head, genuine tk9000's have an indented line that runs parallel to the edge of the frame.

    Now I know what you are talking about. There are 2 lines/indentations around 5 or 7 o clock of the racquet. I didn't see that just now until you pointed it out. However, the lines are there at the white areas, they do not stretch out to the areas with other colours (like gold or black). Is mine a genuine racquet?

    Based on pics #4, 5 n 7, there seems to b indentations somewhat.

    Most importantly, the laser engraving of the specs on the cone look exactly like mine...imo, ur racket should b the real deal...

    It looks similar to mine... In my experience found Quality Precision paint work is the easiest way to find a clone. Clones always miss a little bit somewhere. The feel of the racket will also tell you. I am sure this is genuine if not still be happy because it's as good as genuine... So don't worry enjoy your game.

    neo89, if you have the chance, remove the original grip and take a look at the wooden handle. there should have some kind of a production date code inked onto the wooden handle.
