    There is such thing as a fake overgrip. In fact, I've got a roll of purple "Yonex" overgrip which came with my Nanospeed 10000 with "BG-65". The NS also comes with a, surprise, fake Nanospeed cushion grip.

    Just looking at a photo doesn't say much. Someone can easily take a photo of a real product but send a fake. It used to be that looking at the price you could almost tell if it is fake. I think the sellers have caught on. Look at the price of fake Yonex rackets on ebay and the prices are pretty close to real ones sometimes. The best way to be safe if buying on the net is from known trusted sellers.

    if that is in fact the picture of the product being sent, then i believe itz the real yonex overgrips. new big rolls they're selling. cheaper than if you buy them 1 pack of 3 grips (typically ~USD$4)

    Feeling and quality. The fake one do not have the stickness and usually thinner. Also, the fake one usually flake and stick on the origional grip in just 1 week.
