ArcSaber Z-Slash Check

**Berylac** · 02-18-2011, 06:23 PM

Hi,

I just bought a ArcSaber Z-Slash. I bought it for $299 Singapore Dollars. Please help me to check. =)

Name: ArcSaber Z-Slash
Shaft Code: 9364444 [This code was found on the Shaft]
Shaft Alphabets: SP
Handle Code: [All I can see was two number 17 and others have been taped by a sticker and it's very hard to remove it.]

There's another sticker pasted on it and I have removed it. The sticker stated:

S1871996
Behind it, S1857373 [Inversed manner]

It was from Japan, can anyone help me to verify this racket if it's authentic?

Thank you =)

Regards,
Berylac

so.. what is the cone code?
you need to check the cone code so we can identify it for you

Hi,

There's a hologram attached to it and covered the cone code. I can't remove it, it's too hard.

Is there another way to check it?

Thanks,

nope, without cone code we cannot help you

also who said that your arcsaber is from japan?
if the shaft has sp that's definitely SP racket or maybe fake racket
japan distribution racket must have JP on the CONE and don't have SP on the shaft

Hi,

It has a " SP " sign on the shaft and it says that it is from Japan on the bottom cap of the cone.

oh that's what you mean
all high end yonex would be made in Japan (I thought you are saying it is from Japan means the seller said it is a JP code racket)

nope, you need to remove those logo before we can help you to identify your racket
is it Sunrise logo or PBSI logo?

**Berylac** · 02-19-2011, 05:15 AM

Hi,

There's Sunrise Logo which is the Hologram and there's a PBSI Logo on the cone too.

The only option is to remove the logo
If you don't want or you cannot, leave it, and hopefully it is real

P.S: is it removing the Sunrise sticker will void the guarantee?
if not, remove it straight away. it is better to know that your racket is real rather than being worried that it is fake
if it will void your guarantee then.. I don't know

*after you remove it and got the cone code
please post it here:

Hi,

No. The reasons why I didn't remove is because it's too hard to be removed. Secondly, I have re-gripped and the grip has covered the Sunrise and the cone codes. Is it possible if I place the pictures here for you to see?

Thanks!

Hi, they are all Japanese made, so to speak. It's only a matter of distribution codes: GP, GR, JP, IP, SP, CN, etc. Only the lower end makes has the Taiwan or China letters on the butt. ArcZS must definitely have a Japan lettered on the butt.
