    Why is the pbsi sticker overlapping the Yonex hologram? and what does the SP stand for? I sell Yonex racquets in Canada and none of the ones I get have either. Is the SP from europe or what? I have people bring me their clones to restring, but I wear safety glasses when I do because the quality is so poor the almost shatter.As for the one pictured, there are not enough pictures for me to say if it real or not. Most of the clones I see look good by themselves, but when put next to real ones, the paint is different, the holograms, butt cap and even the grommets are different. Also most of the fakes i have seen are strung improperly. I am a dealer, and i would say if you paid $170 for a real one you got the best deal you could. I would not be able to pay my rent selling them for that price.

    Sorry, I forgot to mention that the covers do not even match on the clones i've seen.

    I suppose in NW Ontario, there aren't many Yonex rackets that are bought from overseas. In cities where there is a large Asian community, a variety of distribution codes exist and not just CD/US codes.

    The stickers overlapping is normal, actually that shows that the racket is genuine since the hologrom is transparant, the yellow (PBSI sticker) and black (cone) colour still can be seen. I have seen a fake has a non-transparant hologram
