    I recieved an AT700 from sumai03 a couple of days ago. But I have little suspicion on it.

    Looks fine to me. Sumai is also one of the reputable sellers on Ebay.

    Yes I have heard of sumai03's reputation. But I always thought the codes were laser engraved.

    Looks engraved to me. Also please keep in mind the fit and finish of TH coded rackets is not always perfect. Performance-wise I don't feel there's much, if any difference but cosmetically I've consistently found slight flaws or inconsistencies...

    ...it's nothing to worry about. :D

    Based on if this is authentic or not. Also, the Serial/distribution code is printed.

    How do you mean "printed"? In your picture it looks like it's etched. Can you take a better picture or explain more in detail?

    Your picture doesn't clearly show a difference because that's what I have experienced with TH rackets. In fact the 8400 looks more suspect. :p

    Find another TH coded racket from one of your friends and see if it's the same or contact Sumai03 and see what he has to say.

    I think your TH racket is fine.

    What the big deal? It's just a racket. Your rackets are most likely fine. Don't be paranoid. And if you are, just get one from an authorized Yonex Dealer in your neck-of-the-woods.

    In fact, I have a great idea: go to your local authorized Yonex Dealer and see if their racket has the same etching. If so, you're all set. If not, then you can::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek: you like. :p

    Both rackets are laser engraved, noting to worry about. The lower end, the style looks a bit different but nothing to be converned about.

    However, if you want to see a difference between a counterfeit racket what their engrave looks like, have a look at these two for example.
