Should also be fake . Shaft serial far too low for such a recent model ... (not to mention only 6 digits?)

The Racquet is just chipped. I'd like to verify if this is a legitimate racquet or not. Seller says that all are engraved.

you are right, this is a FAKE racket
the shaft serial is too low for production 2010 racket

Wow. Glad to know.

How could you tell though? Are all 2010 racquets at a certain serial number range?

yes, 2010 racket usually started with 9
while the one that you asked started with 7

the shaft serial number would always go up until 9999999 (it reach 9999999 around february 2011)
and then they reset it back to 2XXXXXX

Ahhh I see. Double checked with my first racquet. Indeed it's a 2010 model starting with 9XXXXXX

However do the serial numbers differ between different Countries? Or does every racquet have a serial code that keeps going up, regardless of Country?

nope it is same, the shaft serial would always go up regardless their country code
country code is actually distribution code (and all of them are made in Japan)
it is not only regardless the distribution code, but also regardless the model (any model made in Japan)
Yonex racket made in Taiwan (and China) has separate numbering system (which is right now in 2011 reach 6XXXXXX)


so for example
your NS9900:
shaft serial: 9155413
cone code : 020302CD

it could be someone else in another continent has:
Arcsaber 10
shaft serial: 9155414
cone code : 020302UK

Ahh thanks for clarifying! This'll help me a lot in identifying a fake racquet when purchasing 2nd hand!
