    Definitely fake. The serial number would probably match up to a racket produced in the 90's sometime.

    The date of manufacture (bolded above) says it was built on the 72nd day of the 00 month of the year 2009....

    Send the serial number and cone code along with a picture to your Yonex head office in the UK. Get them to send you an email or letter stating it's fake. Take that to your credit card company or paypal (really hope you used one of the 2) and get a claim started.

    Nope, never done it before for rackets but have had to go through a couple of paypal disputes and it always works better when you have backup documentation.

    Yep you have been sold a lemon

    (An expression used in the Scotland to describe something that is not worth the price, and can leave you feeling bitter)
