    Hi, I recently bought a MP99 CH off a friend in M'sia...he insisted that it was real and he claims that he got it off sunrise agent.Anyway, i doubted that it was a real racquet.
    Please verify that this is a fake racquet so I can get a refund :p.

    1) when I shaked the racquet, i could hear some noises coming out of the handle.
    2) the cap is not shiny and smooth.

    Somehow i have trouble posting images...can anyone help me ??

    the noise experienced doesnt seem right to me. plus, the CH rackets are usually on the merket in china and sunrise is the distributor in singapore. whats the serial number on the racket by the way?

    I have checked in the information of the Muscle Power 99 3748567 260302CH (date=26 Mar (03)2000) to my list of Yonex rackets made in Japan, its serial no. and date code are not legitimate.
    Muscle Power 99 was released around March 2002.
    In my list, there is an MP99 with serial no. of 3747904 but with date code of 270322SP (date=27 Mar 2002).
    IMHO the Muscle Power 99 3748567 260302CH is a fake.

    If the MP99 does not have the grommet strip, i can be 100% sure its a fake. I think your so called friend is not a very good friend + cheats his own friends and also lying to cover it up! :mad:

    from the pictures you posted, i can be 110% sure its fake, the red paint on the side of the frame is suppose to be arrow shape and not just flat, also the grommets do not appear to be flat square grommets. The botttom of the cone looks wrong, you can check by looking at the mould quality of the word "JAPAN" the P looks totally bent.

    I bet my life on it its fake
