Agree with Avenger.. this is 100% fake. 208828JP We don't have month 88. http://www.badmintoncentral.com/for...2-Guide-How-to-Spot-Counterfeit-Yonex-Rackets
Thanks for the link. I can now see how it is a fake. Wasn't sure at the start as the seller said they were authentic but from Hong Kong! I was interested as he was selling them at slightly less. (100GBP) guess I'll have to get a second arc 11 from a reliable website.
No worries. Always check the source. I am sure some rackets have codes that look okay but they are actually fake.
