http://public.fotki.com/wongsta/random/p1010094.html this should tell you all you need to know. its not exactly 2009 yet
i might be real actually its iso900, i am not sure if the current system is working on this old racket
i'm willing to bet its real. i dont' think fakes were around yet at the time they were still putting "squarespot" on the frame.
number was 10695sp notice its 1number short? even fake rackets can do better post it up and ask leeshim i am still on the side of "real"
ISO 900 was also produced in 1999. It could not be said that the racket is fake from the production code. Rather, please post to this thread Post your Yonex serial numbers here! with the serial number also. Nevertheless, from the photos, it is high chance that the racket is a real one.
-"J"s hook is too long, and the "P" is too wide on the end cap. -It's missing the 1cm colour band on the shaft that all 900 have. -The serial numbers on cone are not align, and not the correct size. -The "S" in the serial number is not the right "S" -The 3 on the shafts serial is not right. -The "R" in "Ultra High Modulus Graphite" is not right. -"ISOMETRIC SWING POWER 900" should not be solid orange. It's roughly 20% transparent and you should be able to see the graphics behind it. Hard to tell from photo. -Grommets at the T are too long. -The "S" on SA looks different. -Cone looks bigger. -font on spec stickers looks bolded. The ID line on the sticker is no where near the cone corner. That's all I could see.
The 900 is definately a fake when looking at the the first few links which is free give away. Since I have the real 900 SA, here is my pics which use the current date system. http://img204.imageshack.us/my.php?image=serial1og.jpg http://img216.imageshack.us/my.php?image=tention8ba.jpg http://img369.imageshack.us/my.php?image=shaft2af.jpg http://img369.imageshack.us/my.php?image=head4ml.jpg http://img369.imageshack.us/my.php?image=side9gg.jpg
Out...lah? Are you sure it was out? OK lah, I'll take your word for it. Next time I need to confirm a real/fake racket, I know who to contact.
i think its fake because of this picture http://public.fotki.com/wongsta/random/p1010121.html it says SQUAPE SPOT -.-
I thought so at first too, but then I saw the shadow on the "S" and "O". it looks like the shadow from the string is blocking the lower right corner of the lettering. And if you look real close, you can see that it is indeed a "R" and not "P".
Hm, this is the first time I have ever seen a fake ISO-900. Most of the fakes I have seen are with CABs, MPs, ATs, Tis, and NSs.
