However you still need to inspect the other physical features of the racket carefully and compare the specifications to ascertain its total legitimacy or authenticity yourself.

thanks a lot!

Firstly, Leeshim doesn't check rackets purchased on Ebay, secondly, consider this; an Arc7 is a racket that retails at a price of over £100 (GB). You have bought this one for $30 (£20 GB?). Can it be genuine? Would anyone offer 80% discount on a very desirable product?

Thirdly, I can tell you that you bought a fake as the cone code is nonsensical. It should read DDMMY?DC. This means the first two digits are the day of the month the racket was made. 22 is perfectly reasonable. The second two digit set (digit 3 and 4) denotes the month the racket was made. 88 is nonsensical, there is no 88th month. The 5th digit denotes the year. The Arc7 is a very recent racket. Yours was supposedly made in 2002. As you can see, things aren't looking good. The 6th digit remains a mystery. Nobody outside of Yonex knows what it really means. The two letters are a distribution code. SP means South Pacific and is perfectly reasonable. Other common distribution codes include: UK, FR (France), US (USA), CH (China) and CN/CP (Chinese team). There are many others though. Google is your friend on this matter. Use reputable shops/sellers and chances are, you'll get a genuine racket.

I hope my information will help you buy a legitimate racket in the future.

Thanks in advance, if you couldnt tell it real because it was a gift and no price was included then its ok. Thanks anyway.

According to my list of Yonex rackes made in Japan;
For the cone code of 270335SP (date=27 Mar 2003), the valid shaft serial should be beyond 4314000.

For the shaft serial of 3747995, the valid cone code should be something like 27032xSP (date=27 Mar 2002).

IMHO, your Yonex Muscle Power 100 of shaft serial 3747995 cone code 270335SP is a fake.

According to my list of Yonex rackes made in Japan;
For the cone code of 130682JP (date=13 Jun 2008), the valid shaft serial should be near to 7736100.

For the shaft serial of 7599000, the valid cone code may be something like 09048xCC (date=09 Apr 2008).
