nice
I also believe it is real since I saw a VT5 that has close serial number and cone code to your's (but still, I don't want to give a signal it is real since I don't have the data)

that serial number shows you this is racket number XXX that yonex produce

cone code is the date when they make the racket (and for which area this racket for):
it is based on DDMMYX(and 2 letter code area)
D: day
M: month
Y: year

Taiwan serial number has different numbering system than made in Japan one (there can be two same shaft serial with Taiwan numbering system, while made in Japan shaft serial only one of a kind)

shaft serial: 6120103
cone code : 231104US

cone code:
23 11 0 4 US
this racket is produced 23rd of November 2010 for US distribution (there are many codes, JP for Japan, UK for United Kingdom, TH for thailand, CH for China, etc.)

All of the above should be just fine judging by their numbers

Do you know what PBSI means?
Persatuan Bulutangkis Seluruh Indonesia (Indonesian Badminton Federation)

so why do you think your US code racket would have Indonesian badminton federation sticker?

also, it would be expensive to import those stickers lol..

yup, we need to wait Demolidor (as I don't have the data)

I don't have a sufficient amount of recent data either but Badminton Avenue has up to now been legit unless someone made it up to fill in the source field for a fake from eBay or wherever. They have a 6120105 one in their website productphoto and it has the new font for Made in Taiwan models(?) ...
The shaft serial overlap should be approaching or already has been reached, at least from the earliest I have @ 64xxxxx but now we have a different font/typography to distinguish.

This was taken at the Yonex Sunrise Sports Life store in Singapore btw. Coincidentaly and conveniently the same cone code date . So it's looking good from all angles as you've already ahd confirmed .

[crazynarutoman]

VT70 is fine , can you recheck the shaft serial on the NS850?



Numbers here are fine as well .

For both a little more detail on the source next time ... "reputable sports chain in Taiwan", "Random guy on the internet"
There are more visitors to Taiwan every year you know

LOOOL, true true, but I really have no idea what the name is in English....also, the shaft serial on the N850 is (3032095), cone serial is (040204TW), and the racket is made in taiwan. thanks a bunch!
