    these are my observations:
    1st pic.. the 71 seems to be especially lighter than the rest.. and the 8 seems to much darker and thicker than the rest..
    2nd pic.. the words seem to curve and arent really in a line..

    cant tell anything else really.. other than the serial.. not too sure about the buttcap

    It's not why I think so, it's the truth.

    It's too obvious, the font style is wrong = instant counterfeit! :D

    The grip also gives it off.

    When you buy a brand new NS9000 it isn't going to have a purple grip.

    Sorry, the purple grip itz on top of the yonex factory grip lol... the botton looks real to me. the colour of the series "darker" and "Ligher" it's because the camera flash. But i did notice the letter 6 and 9 looks funny. 0 and 1 both match to normal yonex.

    Actually the 1 and 0s does not match the genuine one. It looks similar but not perfect.

    Have you use the racket yet radar ? I have come across a fake one too, when you put a real and fake together, you can tell the different straight away.
    Also try to have a few hit with it, with fake one there a lot of vibration and miss hit etc.....

    When i have free time this weekend i come to have a hit with you :D

    How are you :). I haven't try to racket yet and don't have a NS9000 with me since I am a big fans of AT700 and RSL X2 rackets. Just holding the racket feels very light (compare to my AT700 3U). Since my friend's B'day. I won't beable to play badminton this weekend... so sad
