Cone code actually ends with "GF" but I think it's half of letter "R" missing. Is that possible?

Have doubts about the musclepower 7

I haven't kept track of these "Made in China" models. There is little reason to make fakes of these as it is so I don't think you have anything to worry about, especially from these sources. There is a big leap in shaft serial yes if that's what you were worried about but the same has happened for the "Made in Taiwan" line. No idea what the reason behind it was but haven't given it much thought either I must admit.

[farisiylia]

If it helps, i took some pictures of it. The mp3 is the orange one while mp7 is the red/black one.

Going on the numbers these should all be fine .

@ AzizuRehman: Type S or X?

@ hyperlisk: post a pic? Maybe it has faded. If there is no engraving it probably shouldn't have been allowed to pass quality control imo. And if you can post a pic we can also tell if the correct font was used ...

That does look a bit dodgy I must say. For one the font used for the cone code and shaft serial. Is the cone a rounded shape or is it like pictured here http://www.directsportseshop.co.uk/I..._Red_Black.jpg

Who was the reseller on Amazon?

[farisiylia]

Its like the one in the link, it has edges, not entirely cylindrical.

[Avenger]

muscle power 3 looks like a little bit strange, especially it is laser engraved, but the white paint missing

the muscle power 7 also strange, can you confirm it that it is actually laser engraved? because in my eyes, it looks like printed, not engraved

[Avenger]

the butt cap colour also inconsistent.. hmm..

[farisiylia]

yeap the mp3 is really engraved deep into the cone, can really feel the gaps.
the mp7 was sold by The Racket Warehousehttp://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/help/sell...A234XVZ74RQIUL

[farisiylia]

its engraved alright

These should all be fine as well judging by their number combo's

[demolidor]

Okay I guess that would be pretty positive . Could be the font change coincided with the shaft serial reset or whatever happened. At least if all the "old" Made in China ones are like the MP7. Don't remember much pics have been posted so really wouldn't know. The source seems all right at least and perhaps are listed on the Yonex UK website as official dealer.

[hyperlisk]

Below are links to pictures. You can see that sticker isn't sticked on properly, weight and grip size isn't on a sticker but printed (this is something new to me) and weird cone serial number. I also added picture of Yonex logo at the joint and the picture of the bottom part of handle. Thanks for checking.

is it the cone code said, GF?

[Avenger]

if you could add the picture of the grommet and the frame, it might help us to identify your racket
I never heard of GF code though
