Quite sure this is a genuine ArcSaber 10, I mean it'd probably cost more to try and get a fake in this store then to get it from Japan factory.

Must be real. The cone code's date sounds real too, because the new batch of ArcSaber10's were mostly produced around Febuary if you've bought it a few days ago. I've also bought a racquet from Sports Authority in Osaka, an MP40 for 14000yen or so.
Did you have your racquet strung there ? Did they use one-piece stringing ? Just wondering..

This supports your other thread; Yes, this racket is indeed a fake.

jhirata:

I don't know what they did with the string but it was unstrung when I bought it like most raquets are. I got the nanogy95 strung on my raquet. That's all I know =/

Yonex high-end rackets do not have a string on it.

Exactly. Maybe I was being too vague

When racquets are bought in Japan, the shopkeepers usually asks us whether we want our racquets strung or not, because it is originally unstrung when it's still on the shelf. So I asked:

It seems like that most shops in Japan use one-piece stringing too..
Sorry for asking vague questions

**D-Boy** · 03-03-2008, 09:55 PM

Matt: Yeah, high-end raquets are not pre-strung...

jhirata: Yeah, they strung it for me... but because I wanted nanogy, it costed money around 12 bucks, I don't know if they normally string it with some BG65 for free like they did in Canada. I'm broke now... being an intermediate player who quit for nearly 5 years... I shoudln't have bought a high end raquet like this, but...
I fell in love with the colors, black white and red are my favourite colors. I really didn:t(damnit japanese keyboards and apostrophes as shift 7) like the other colors, and being an engineer in Nanotech specialization it was hard to turn away the nanotech. XD

Guess I better pick up my game again.
