    hi guys,

    im currently looking to a new racket and most likely an AT900T .. is there any tips to avoid been cheated by buying fake instead of ori? ..

    What I know is the YONEX logo, it looks like Y0NEX for ori and YONEX for non ori .. else, the serial number on the shaft and cone where the ori it made from laser etching ..

    Is it still can be used for identify the originally of racket nowadays?

    Fake Yonex rackets are getting better really fast, there are still ways to tell if their original or not: logo, codes, butt end logo, words on the racket, etc. the best way to avoid getting a fake racket however, is to buy only form authorized shops and websites

    There are many tips provided by fellow members in this forum on how to identified fakes, although the application of these knowledge would depend on experiences, i.e. one need to see and observe the details of various original models.

    The simplest way for anyone who is not 100% sure if he can tell the differences, which is getting difficult, is to buy from authorised dealers. You pay the premium of getting the assurance that you are purchasing a real stuff.

    Should you decide to take any risk of buying from any non-authorised dealers then you should go to one that you trust or has been recommended by many others. The golden rule here is always that if the offer sounds too good to be true, then it isn't true.
