Any good reputation badminton store in Singapore ?

[Vignesh Raj]

There are close to 5 shops in Queensway Shopping Centre that sell Yonex & li-ning goods. However, the ultimate question still remains as to which of these are originals and fakes. I remember being offered a Yonex NS 9900 for SGD 255. But then I noticed, the Yonex logo printed on the Cone was not clear. I am having second thoughts of buying from Singapore.

Chau Beng was selling the same at +20 SGD. But forgot to check the authenticity point of the racket.

Are you new in Singapore? I have not seen any fake racquets sold at Queensway. There are a few threads on how to identify fake YY racquets if you have no idea whats the difference.

I have checked for the authenticity points for yonex. "Almost" all of them match.

Some points that stood out & that discouraged me from actually buying were:

1. At one instance, the Yonex logo that was printed on the cone looked like it was touched before the paint dried. Like when we write using an ink pen and move our hand over it without letting it dry

You don't expect Yonex to make such a mistake now, do you ?

2. The Yonex logo at the bottom of the cones are different with every racquet.
E.g. The racquets with Japan on the cone have a distinct curve at the tip of the bottom triangle while some did not have it.
The printing of the white color on the Yonex logo had a slight offset from the plastic mould.

3. The limited editions of the NS9900 are available in Green & Purple colours. Some sellers claim that the standard ones have been phased out, but still available with the others.

Sometimes I feel, i've become paranoid after reading all the posts on BC for the authenticity of the racquets and now contemplating to buy from a Japanese seller online.

I think bras Basah complex is well reputed Badminton store in Singapore. There we can find all types of badminton material and accessories.

I believe Bras Basah complex is good for buying shuttlecocks. One store out there has a wide range to choose from. The rackets out there are really highly priced, close to SGD 70 difference from Queensway.

Anyway I figured that I need to take a jump and will be buying a new one from Queensway itself.

for yonex rackets.. perhaps...just look out for SP code with sunrise hologram sticker n shop is an authorised dealer of sunrise ..will be a safe bet......in buying a genuine piece..

[Vignesh Raj]

And how would anyone know whether it is an authorised dealer ? They display the certificate ?

i think this guy is trying to sploit the name of queensway shopping centre.
Even I am not a Singaporean, I believed no shop is so darling to sell fake racket.
Very fast they will close shop if they really sell fake racket. May be need to sell back side to pay the racket manufacturer.

emm...better be careful. just to be on the safe side
