    I was searching deals on Yonex rackets, but come across this website

    http://huidongcn.en.alibaba.com/product/254425709-200660253/Badminton_Racket.html

    It is scary! This company can supply 90,000 pieces of fake rackets a month! How many fake Yonex out there? :eek: And the way they promo their business is like nothing wrong with it.

    *web master, I am not promoting this website. Instead, I try to alert other people. You can remove my thread if this it is against the rule here. :)

    The thing about China that it's such a way of life that everyone sells/buys them. However, since everyone knows they are going on, the fake sellers do NOT try to pass them off as legits, because their shops will get trashed really quickly lol.

    yes, fakes are so common now that it's a fashion culture (fad) these days. Fake brand name cellphones, fake designer bags (chanel, VL, etc) and shoes, are fashion statements. It's not only in china,other countries have caught up this trend too and have their own style or fake fads.

    ex.

    BANGKOK, Thailand -- Health authorities are clamping down on a Thai teen fashion fad -- wearing fake orthodontic braces.

    Officials said Thursday they plan to target those who sell and make the pseudo dental gear with steep fines and prison time.

    Girls flashing multicolored metallic grins are regularly featured in teen magazines as braces have become more common in Thailand, transforming the dental gear into a fashion statement.

    fake racquets

    I have tried a couple fake Yonex racquets like ArcSaber 7 and 9..
    Fake racquets had many features: the gromets are not well spaced, so the strings are NOT evenly distributed. No wonder it provides much less power.
    The fake racquets usually have less durability for higher stinging tension (over 22 lbs). They are very easy to break. The covers they provide are fake, too. Funny!:mad:
