How do I identify fake Yonex rackets?

I am thinking about buying the Yonex MP100. How can I be sure that it's not fake? Any obvious marking or things in that nature?
Thanks,
Z

break it open and check for yourself. unfortunately you won't have a racquet to play with afterwards.

well....there are many obvious reasons but my friend had bought a bootleg mp100 from china when he went there n i noticed that the mesh on the muscle power (3 n 9) is flat..meaning its not embosed...the titanium mesh is not suppose to be part of the shaft itself...it looked like it was painted over to make it look like theres titanium.... but i might be just be exagerating....but again, he broke his after a month of just practice...hope it helps...
