    nope, have never seen any, the demand and margins are too low for them to bother.

    Yes, they are a lot of them in China. I saw kids use them because the parents does not know anything about badminton and bought them in China.

    hummm, if there are fake ones in china, then how come i don't see them around on ebay? I don't remember seeing one on ebay, but there are tons of $0.99 MP99 there..... one would think that a 99 cent MP21 would be more believeable.

    Because profit margin and usually player go for the higher end.

    I totally agree with you and a $9 MP21 is more believable than a $9 MP99. That is why parents buy those lower end racquet for the beginner kid and think this must be real one. Also, if a fake seller sell a fake MP21 for $1 and cost $20 to ship, the buyer will think, I just need to save another $20 to get one here in US and no risk.

    yes,there are alots of it in china,but seems that the interest and profit margin are much lesser than the high ends.They are all made of the same thing.Same price.
