    Can't tell for sure from the pictures but the racket bag and the grip look fishy.

    Agreed. Logo on grip seems fake.

    I think it is a fake judging from the colour of the grip and the sticker over the cone code. I does not indicated a sunrise sticker.

    and normally below the PBSI sticker there will be a sticker on the specs of the racket. there none there.

    I have a strong feeling that it is a fake

    Doesn't even have "technique" on top off the frame. Fake for sure then

    Sorry to say, its fake.. You prolly bought it on ebay from a seller named xiping. But yeah, its fake because it doesnt say technique up on the frame and the grip isnt suppose to be blue...

    It's too counterfeit.

    Look at the serial, the font/text style on the serial/date code - an instant giveaway.

    Ryosuke,

    Why did you even bid on this?!?!?

    i agree. Malaysia's retail price for Yonex is pretty cheap already. i don't understand why you would go the ebay route.
