Hello Everybady, I just return to the game aft 20 years break after finished studying and brought up of 3 kids. The Badminton World had changed a lot. Now, I want to buy a new racket -- Yonex, and there is a lot of choice on the internet, spcial from Ebay. These price are very different compare to the shop price. Can anyone tell me which one should I go for? If I choice the ArcSaber10, what is the code 'CH' or 'SP' stand for? Waht is this Yonex OEM factory of China stand for? Any help will be appreciate. Thank you.
1) Welcome to BCBF. 2) Double post does not help too much. 3) There is a thread in market thread with extensive discussion on buying from ebay. 4) Please read the article from Kwun on what the ser# and cone code mean. 5) Please also read the first by Kwun in post your Yonex Ser# thread for further example. 6) There is a search function on top right hand corner in case you need to find something. 7) if the price is too good to be true, it is usually fake. Good luck and welcome back to the world of badminton.
simple rules of thumb: - if it is too cheap, 100% chance it is fake - if it is from China, 90% chance it is fake - if it is really cheap and from China, 110% chance it is fake. we understand that it is tempting to get a good deal. but believe us, we have seen countless people getting a really bad deal just because they want to save a few dollars, or get lured in by the low price.
The "OEM factory" is a popular trick by the fake sellers. Yonex never authorized any other factories to directly distribute its product.
