    You every notice that some rackets from companys look the same as other rackets from other companys?
    like the Arcsaber and archblade 10
    the both are red have the same writing on it and almost same name

    i think ashway copied yonex or vice versa
    but it could be that they possibly could be sharing ideas
    what do you guys think?

    Mainly it's other companies that copy yonex racket paint job. A good example is Yonex ARC10 and Apacs ES10

    it is call getting a free ride on the marketing bandwagon

    these clones and fakes are so cheap, the marketing cost more than the racket itself so if marketing is free, make the look alke racket for the free ride. Any prices for the rackts are bonus
