    Hi, I just came back from German Open. I just want to share something that might be interesting for you.

    I bought the new NS9900 there. But the number on the cap is weird.
    No. on the cap : 251282PL
    No. on the shaft : 8165911

    The no. on the shaft doesn´t bother me that much. But no. on the cap should indicate the manufacturing date of the racquet. But doesn´t that mean the racquet was manufactured on last Christmas?!! I thought the racquet is made for this year. But since I bought it from Yonex German Open, I don´t think it is fake, or am I wrong?

    Another thing I bought from German Open is Yonex Aeroclub 03, new shuttlecock from Yonex. From this Aeroclub series, there are Aeroclub 03, 05 and 07. I suppose Yonex Aeroclub 07 has the best quality but I cannot confirm it since there was only Aeroclub 03 available. I bought it for €13.

    I wish I can put some pictures, but it too complicated, since I need to upload it first.

    I think it is normal for them to start producing the rackets months before the debut of the racket. After all, they need to supply the rackets for the whole world. If I am not mistaken, distributors around the world received their NS9900 stock weeks before the debut.

    It costed me €159. I think it is a normal price for the racquet. I am wondering myself, what PL means. Other racquets at the booth other than NS9900 were GR version.
