    Experts,

    I bought two used rackets from guys who were playing for last one year.

    I want to know if these rackets are genuine or fake. I bought it for $140 each.

    Please find the serial and Cone numbers.

    Serial Cone
    8209869 190192SP

    7719797 160890SP

    7719797 168090SP

    Appreciate your response.

    Not sure why you have two serial & date codes the same (typo?)

    The Numbers appear to match. Photos would be better, since fakes can clone serials/dates

    Why do you suspect they might be

    James,

    Thanks for the response. I am not sure the serial and date one them is type. But i can refer when i go home.

    The reason why i suspect is that, The strings broke within 2 games when i played. I have restring again.

    Also, other players suggested for authenticity check in this respectful site from experts like you.

    I can take some pictures just for further confirmation.

    Thanks
    Thiagu

    The strings breaking is not really related to whether it is a Fake or not....could be a number of things.

    Awaiting pics.

    8209869 190192SP seems genuine...but 7719797 160890SP does not.

    Look at the dates...the serial is smaller for a racket that was made later.
