All the pictures above are either off-focus or shooting non-important parts of the racket. You will need more better-shot pictures on this topic.

okay i'll try to provide better picture

i guess it look real

the font on weight/grip size look legit

but you need to give us the serial number, green cap(if you can please use room light, noisy pix is ok as long as its focus, flash would overexpose the picture for sure for macro shots

frame, give us the shot of the top of the frame, sideway, and the T-joint YY logo

hmm... but yeah, i am 70% this is real

just a guess tho

photography 101:

need more light, either more room light or turn up the ISO

use macro, its focused to your hand and background, the minimum focus distance is too far for your DC

serial code sounds good, its made recently and the 56xxxx matches that

did you get it off ebay? or where did you get it? what is the seller's name?

**Asuka** · 12-15-2005, 11:20 PM

i got it off ebay seller name Sumei so it looks real ??

Serial and date code seems okay and it's a TH version. You can confirm with Leehsim in his thread "Post your yonex serial number here". The manufacture date is November 08, 2005 and the serial code of 568XXXX matches leehsim's data.

Try to visit Leehsim's thread for confirmation.
