Based on their shaft-cone number combinations all of the above should be fine . @ dawe822: "should all be fine" means this combination of shaft serial and cone code number is possible and 99% chance it is "quality goods". But of course without pictures we cannot tell if the clone maker copied the number and someone who bought one is here to verify it. @ Polaroid: congrats on having the freshest racket so far . I expect yours to be fully genuine but to be more sure some more recent numbers should be popping up here. Of course it's a holiday period in Japan around the first week of May so there is rather large jump in cone code and I can't be completely accurate yet. What club is it and is Pro Shop the name?
As for the Carbonex, being a Made in China model I haven't kept track of the numbers for these, not that there are many to begin with. Shouldn't be desirable to clone anyway since they are not exactly expensive ... Well, only thing I can say it for that shaft serial the start of this cone code is plausible ...
@demolidor: Thank you! So, i hope its safe to buy rackets from this guy. I knew the Carbonex is cheap just wanted to make sure. Thank you for the effort. I really appreciate it.

Yes, unfortunately that is a fake . Can you post some pictures of the numbers and perhaps of some other details like the word "Yonex" on the cone, etc. Unless you also copied the model incorrectly the ArcSaber Z-Slash was not even released then. The shaft-cone number combination actually is okay so I'm guessing it is not a Z-Slash?

i think VT80 shaft serial number cannot be 7******. at least 9****** and restart at 2******. seems to be fake...
reply Also the date code, the racquet has a date of: 28th April 2010 would the voltric 80 even have been in manufacture at this point?
I'm pretty sure its real because its from SGVBC2. And yes I like it how its made recently . The distributor you should know him which is PANDA !!!
