    thanks for feedback
    but isnt genuine yonex racquets have the serials engraved on the cone?
    the buyer who bought this from me actually went to some reputable shop and checked it, they peeled off the sticker to check the serial which i did not bother when i bought it
    suspecting it being fake
    which i am not convinced since i bought it from a reputable shop too, yet the scrapped code is telling me otherwise

    It is engraved in the paint. If the entire paint chip is missing so could the number but you should still be able to see some traces if deep enough. I have one here as well with the same, let met take a pic. Of course this one is much older so not sure how good the engraving is on Made in Taiwan ones these days (this is an AT700 btw).

    look, the easiest way to know if the cone code is laser engraved is to touch it
    touch it and if you feel the number is rough that means it is laser engraved

    if it is not, that means it is printed (which is fake)

    if it is laser engraved, that means it is genuine

    You can see it's engraved from the second picture where the light disappears in the number. And yes I can see the remains of the "2". Based on the shaft and cone number, the correct font for them and seemingly engraved it still looks fine. But you can always take and post more pictures of other parts of the racket (to compare) in your other thread (;)).

    Maybe I should start buying my stuff in Budapest, if Yonex has a store there. The place I'm currently getting my equipment from is almost as far as Budapest anyway :p

    Thanks for the added info on AT800, already checked it anyway and should be just fine based on these numbers [​IMG].
    ARC10 should be fine as well given the seller, but I will doublecheck later today [​IMG].

    Please help in verification

    Help - I was restringing a club member's racquet and it snapped under the 25lb strings used. I am planning to replace the racquet since it snapped in my possession but wanted to know if it is a genuine item.

    racket model: Yonex Nanospeed 800
    Shaft serial: 9976041
    cone code : 050584US
    source : Club member - sent for re-stringing - broke under 25lb new strings
    price : unknown

    By the way, after reading a couple of posts on this, I did unwrap the grip down to the bare wood and found a small screw at the top of the handle (most probably connecting the shaft to the handle) and a red inked "M4" at the bottom. Not sure if it means anything.
