    I am wondering if it's real or fake as I am not familiar of how to spot the fakes. Any help is appreciated.

    I would also agree with ryim as that handle wrapper and how its wrapped seem odd... also the angle the first one is at says to me "odd...." lol the paint is it aligned? that could be a good indicator ;p the wrapping is i should say too smooth looking than the ones i get from places like sportsmart... although this is all hypothetically speaking and i really dont' know much to say its fake 100% accuracy as I have my hands on a faker myself... ><

    but honestly speaking that handle warpping is odd...

    umm...cooler is right...i bet this is an ebay racquet that cost you like $70usd? as for the pics, i can easily spot 5 features that indicate that this is a counterfeit. if you take close up pics of the frame, there are probably more features that you can distinguish between this and a genuine at800off.

    You don't know anything. All JP high-end rackets come with a cloth case, and also, why is there JP on the shaft!! JP rackets don't have that ROFL!!!

    Oh yes, 12/11/2006 with 5.3 Mill serial ROFL!! It's suppose to be 6.X Mil already.

    what do you mean by"whatever"?. when i said 5 things, i was talking about the racquet. the case itself is pretty much a dead give away anyways. i dun get what you mean by bad angle? the angle of the 2nd is perfect and if you have a genuine racquet with you...you can clearly see why i say that this racquet is counterfeit. sigh...

    Don't BS us. It's confirmed by Yonex Japan and various Yonex authorized dealers that high-end JP rackets come with the cloth cases.

    Yonex Japan and other authorized dealers also confirm that top of the line JP rackets come with a cloth case.

    JP rackets DO NOT have the the word JP on the shaft (I'm not talking abt the JP on the cone). Look at the 2nd pic carefully......

    :) yeah, it would save kwun precious HD space if he only stated price and ebay seller. This one is not even challenging at all.
