i have a real arc9 in my hand and the ser # is 81067## and the cone code is 011282xx. tell me if yours make sense? also, there has never been a version with CH on the shaft.

The only fake indication from the pic that i can see is the grommet, it does look that neat. But i could also caused by the stringer. Perhaps you can provide closer and clearer pics for us to see more detail.

Are the codes number engraved or printed? The production code indicates the racket was produced on 18 Aug 2008, i cant remember exactly when was Arc10 was released, maybe someone can confirm?

Tie Juetsue, you probably should check the codes with these guys:

its counterfeit.

what do you mean by printed--- it is cut into the metal if thats what you mean. when you move you fingers along the code it is dented in. Is that engraved?

**Tie juetsue** · 02-17-2010, 03:19 AM

Can you explian inmore detail...

Yes, that would be engraved but...engraved does not mean genuine

What additional detail(s) would you like? If you did not copy the wrong shaft serial, and date code...then it must be counterfeit.

**Tie juetsue** · 02-17-2010, 05:56 AM

How can you tell, any hints in the dates or ser\ number?

From what I can see, it looks genuine so far. The grommet holes at the 3 o'clock and 9 o'clock looks like my Arcsaber 10.

It looks like a very good counterfeit, notice on the last pic the print is slightly different to the real one. Yes, i think its a fake.

the fakes are getting better, having similar looking gromments doesn't mean it's real

Tie juetsue, take a closeup pic of the serial numbers, and another pic on the bottom cap.
