    Absolutely fake. This colourscheme is invalid. The paintjob is poor, and there are no U-shaped grommets either.

    for RM180, can have some real deals; Apacs, ProAce, Impact and etc.
    fake Yonex for RM180, hm.............
    i wonder where is the shop? for other countries? hmm...... SP is Singapore distribution.
    ask the shop owner to refund it ;)

    It's unlikely for such an unethical shopkeeper to refund you the full price you paid for that racquet..:crying:.. I suggest you to have a research on racquets that you are interested in first, then buy it. You can even have a post in the Reccomendation/Comparison section for advices on which racquet you should buy.

    PS: The cone code suggests that it is a fake too:
    27-03-2008. Yonex stopped the production of AT800's when, a few years ago ?

    The racket is fake. You should check the yonex website to see what the racket actually looks like before you buy it.

    The people who made the fake could have at least made the colour right.
