    Hi all,

    Yesterday I went to take my new NS-9000-S racket from my favorite shop.
    I didn't check the code. But when I'm home, I realize that something strange: The country code is BP.
    Somebody knows which country code is this? I am in Belgium. Usually the country code is BX.
    The complete code is : 6122899 250462BP.
    I don't think that the racket is fake one, because the shop has a very very good reputation.

    Rgds,

    I have checked in the information of your Yonex Nanospeed 9000 Type S Serial:6122899; Date Code:250462BP (date=25 Apr 2006) to my information list of Yonex rackets made in Japan, its serial nos. and date codes are legitimate. (Despite the odd country code of BP)

    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 leehsim,
    I have also sent a question to Yonex Japan and Yonex Belgium.
    They are confirmed that the racket original is.
    Usually for Benelux (Belgium, Netherlands and Luxemberg) the code is BX.
    But Yonex also producted BP code, but this code is limited.

    Cooler, you are not wrong, but not 100% right.
    BP is : Benelux Pros. Not Belgium Pors.
