    hello, need some help identify this one, thanks.

    shaft serial: 7495170 (not aligned, about half a single space up)
    cone serial: 030382TH
    everything else looks good to me (headshape, shaft, grip)

    You need to take better pictures then that. They need to be clear and focused. Use flash and macro mode.

    Yeah, can't really tell from those pictures. Where did you buy it and how much did you pay for it?

    what else would be helpful is, if you could provide the source & how much you paid for it.

    well, i'm sure you want a genuine racket...
    but i find, the most important thing is: how well does it play?
    if it plays well, it is still money well spent

    I just noticed.... The shaft codes on the second picture seems kinda awkward because it's not printed between the white strips... I'm not saying your racquet is fake or anything so don't panic. Just kinda odd....

    gemcat, yeah i specified that shaft code position is a bit off...

    thanks for the replies dudes, the rackets does not suit me... light and stiff, i can't feel sXXt :( its hard to judge for me.

    side note, racket makes a squeeky sound from cone, but i've also had a genuine racket makes this noise before...
