Post YOUR Yonex Serial Numbers Here (No eBay Enquiries) - Read Post#1 First!

Okay, since I had one entry with an earlier shaft serial but later cone code from here: http://www.badmintoncentral.com/foru...hlight=9599888
But turns out I wrote 090902JP instead of 090802JP. For 090802JP that one would even be a fake actually but yours should be fine now that the error has been removed . The one in the other thread might actually be 080902JP instead as well ...

Not even sure how it was entered incorrectly since I usually just copy-paste ... could be I had the file open on my pc and the internet connection in my laptop that has no open office on it.

Ok, looks like my racket should be an original then.

Thnaks for the assistance!

Btw, I'm new here and is there a thread which explains what the cone and shaft numbers mean?

Thanks!

That's 9517594 & 210704IP in fact...
Attachment 96195
Attachment 96194
What do you say?
By the way, the code IP belongs to which country plz?

as demolidor said, it should be fine
IP did not belong to any country
Yonex make IP code racket when they don't have specific country in their mind when they make the stock
you could say it's emergency or extra stock

Btw, I'm new here and is there a thread which explains what the cone and shaft numbers mean?

Thanks!

Shaft serial is one of a kind serial number for each yonex racket that made in Japan (Yonex made in Taiwan has different way to number their racket)
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 DDMMYXCC
D: day
M: month
Y: year
CC: distribution area (SP: Singapore, UK: United Kingdon, CH: China, CD: Canada, ID: India, JP: Japan, etc)


so what we do to know which racket is genuine or not is to match the shaft serial and the cone code
the shaft serial by time will go up, and the cone code will accompany it

for example (this is just random number..), 1111111 with cone code 010102JP
that means this is racket 1111111 that Yonex produce with date 01 of January 2000 (remember, 0 here could be 2000 or 2010, same with 1, it could be 2001 or 2011) for Japan distribution
if you have a racket with shaft serial 1000000 with cone code 050102JP, that means it's a fake since the shaft serial is too low for the cone code

Just bought the same item from the same seller lol, I'm crossing my fingers! I'm gonna post the serial as well when I get my hands on it, the seller does look legit tho and he's got good reviews. I understand the general fear of dealing with sellers on ebay, especially when they are from China, but he does seem to represent an actual authorized Yonex dealer. Gotta wait and see!

Hi, Any way able to comment on this racket? Looks genuine based on serial number? Thoughts?

Thoughts: you didn't fill in all fields and it is an eBay enquiry (at least as long as we don't know where their actual bricks-n-mortar shop is if they have one but they seem to be a legit seller/dealer; or I've long forgotten what their real store is if it was ever mentioned )

The racket should be fine but around this new year's period there are some gaps so waiting for some more entries to get a better picture of the production then. But for the time being it certainly is a plausible combination .
