    Ha brilliant! Thanks for that, I plan on buying often from this store in the future. As well as the Arc 7 that I bought I also bought a Nanospeeed 8000 for £75.00 which was the cheapest price I could find anywhere. If anyone in the UK is looking to buy a new racket I recommend checking this place for sales. Their full prices can be quite expensive, however when they do have a sale you can get some great bargains like the two I have bought.

    Cheers boss, after seeing and playing with this racket I was pretty sure this was genuine, the only thing that worried me was that I got it from an ebay auction at a great price, has anyone else seen a brand new Nanospeed 9900 for a lower price, I'd be very surprised. The funny thing is the preson I bought this for chooses not to play with this, instead he plays with his old Yonex MP88 :confused:.

    Thanks you've just saved me a few quid, I was a hesitant from bidding for this seeing as it is a seller based in the UK selling a JP coded racket.

    Haha, I'd swap it for the Arc7 then. At least it's a bit closer in specs to Mp88 with NS9900 being almost the opposite ...
    Excellent prices indeed ... is the NS8000 gold coloured? The NS9900 could have been a gift or a prize perhaps ... or someone sponsored (or related to).

    Yea the NS8000 is gold coloured, is there a difference apart from cosmetics?

    Also I did a bit of digging into the NS9900, the seller is the same from this previous post:

    I've just seen that he has sold a couple of ex demo rackets but I'm sure that the listing for the racket I bought didn't mention anything about being ex demo, and also there were no signs of previous use on the racket. However it didn't come with a full length case, just a cover that covered the head, the ex demo racket listings mention that they too don't come with a case. So I guess it's possible that the NS9900 was a ex demo, but it was still a bargain as the condition was like new.

    Haha, no problem ... The yonex logo on the cone looks one piece as well, the bag is obviously fake when compared to a genuine one, and some more small differences. The POWER at the top of the frame looks extremely pronounced as well ...
    The numbers are off as well. What did you find the suspicious part?

    Just the numbers from SP that makes me suspicious, I'm glad it's genuine

    Eh? It's far from genuine actually. The real thing costs 4 times as much which is why I wrote "you have to ask for 35??"
    To be clear the shaft serial number is far too low to match up with the corresponding cone code ... Aside from that there are several other flaws in it ... [​IMG].
