Fake Yonex Nanospeed 9900 raquet or not?

**Tommii** · 12-05-2010, 05:15 PM

Serial #: 7889860
Date Code: 050582SP
Model: NANOSPEED 9900
3U|19~24lbs
G4|8.5~10.5kg

The Hologram sticker is coming off and i only used this for around 10 times.

This is the Serial and cone serial

Front view of hologram sticker

The side of the racket (This is to look at the Hologram sticker peeling off on the left side of the cone)

My racket doesn't have the shiny orange?

This had the tight Yonex seal on the handle. I don't know if this is a high imitation of the racket. In my opinion, i think this racket is real.

The hologram sticker is coming off. Help? ):

you missed the two most important information:

1. how much?
2. where did you buy it?

It was around 200 something + shipping. I don't remember the website, but it might be badminton alley. I gave them a call and they say they don't sell SP racquets. I've bought from them before, they also sold arc sabers to me.

I had the string put on by CLEAR1 Badminton, and i added the grip.

It would not be from badminton alley because they US coded rackets.

badmintonavenue.com ??

sounds like alley.

So is this real or not? If so, how do i fix the stupid Hologram sticker. It's really pissing me off and i don't want to take it off.

THIS RACQUET IS FAKE.
THIS RACQUET WAS MADE IN THE 2009.
VERIFIED DATE ON RACQUET: May 05, 2008
Signs:

Back of the Yonex hologram sticker, the printing was fading away.
The orange on the bottom of the head isn't shiny orange
Top part of the head, some of the shiny orange was misprinted and had a small section put to a random part of the head.
Easy dents/scratches
Easily peelable Hologram Yonex Sticker.
Racquet is too light
Stiffer than the Genuine NS9900
Both sides of the top part of Shiny Orange isn't aligned

Thanks to this forum for providing information on how to indentify fake racquets.

Can you explain? Your reasoning does not make sense.

Please take a clear photo of the butt cap.

The original hologram sticker is not like this.

He means the 9900 wasn't released untill late 2008/early 2009. First production started in december 2008 (xx128xXX)
Besides that cone and shaft serial number don't match up ...

just to vouch for badmintonalley.com, they are a legit business and i have bought more than a few rackets from them and have picked them up in person since they're a few minutes from where i live.
