oh my God.. I'm gone and then things like this happens 091112TW means day 09, November 2011 for Taiwan distribution the number 2 is not included, it could be batch number, it could be revision number (we don't know for certain but this number should not be 0) RKEP Eric (aka Squash_Mart in Ebay) is legit dealer based on Taiwan so the cone code definitely right, it's a TW code racket the number also looks right it reach 3XXXXXX in Nov 2011 while previously in Feb 2011 they reach 9999999 and go back to 24XXXXX butt cap also fine, the colour is right and the logo looks good
If you bought from Eric at squash_mart, I woudln't even question its authenticity. He's an authorized Yonex dealer, and all his items are geniune! Go smash some birds rather than worrying!
if you do not know the series number means that please do not guess randomly whole series number: 3004576 091112TW first part is racket number 2nd part on the cone is batch number + final country code TW there is not any year number or month number on it to confirm the series number that please contact YONEX branch TW number contact YONEX Taiwan http://www.yonex.com.tw/contact.asp
Ok. I'm not questioning its authenticity right now, but on the 2nd and last image, you can see that when the racket is placed flat down on a desk, the "Voltric 80" letters do not face directly up in the middle, but leans to the upper side. Is that normal? Because on some pictures I see those letters face directly up in the middle.
Right once and for all: This is a legit Yonex racket. Firstly: Eric is a legit dealer, 100% reputation on here, never heard a bad thing from anyone about service or products. Therefore there should never ever be a problem ordering from him. Secondly: the serial codes suggest the racket is legit. As previously mentioned, the codes went back to (I believe from my list) 238xxxx back in 2011. Thirdly: from the aesthetics, the racket is legit. Speaking from looking at the one that I have, and foremost others i have seen. Fake ones I've seen, have the typical tell tale signs, as well as on VT80's the gold patches being lighter shades than on the real one. Don't worry, enjoy your racket Case closed.
I don't have VT80 but VT80 is one model that Yonex really messed up in term of paint quality I wouldn't be surprised if something like this happens I don't know why, but people come here and their first post trying to ruins people's life by judging it's a fake even for opinion, it should be supported with evidence
Hi. Thank you all. I understand that you guys have confirmed that it is a real racket, but I just noticed something about the paintjob on the head of the racket and I really want to know if it is supposed to be that way. Well, as you can see one side has the dark shade reaching all the way up to the thin "red" line and the other side's dark shade does not get close to the thin red paint.
As Eric said ''2nd part on the cone is batch number + final country code TW there is not any year number or month number on it '' Just because you posted 1000+ post , does not make you an expert , please get your fact right before criticizing other forum members ; To Ioxy, sorry you didnt get my sense of humor earlier , but honestly dont worry about the racket , it is 100% genuine from what I can see. The paintjob of my Yonex rackets are like that as well, (it is not perfect) since it is spray painted by human. As long as the racket feels good , there is nothing to worry about . You should be smashing some shuttle instead of going on here worrying about the racket.
well, my 1000 posts are not for being a troll if you see my posts in here http://www.badmintoncentral.com/forums/showthread.php/31873-Post-YOUR-Yonex-Serial-Numbers-Here-(No-eBay-Enquiries)-Read-Post-1-First!/page854 http://www.badmintoncentral.com/forums/showthread.php/77942-Yonex-Racket-Buying-Enquiries-(no-ebay-s-or-online-auction)/page17 http://www.badmintoncentral.com/for...-Auction-Watch-amp-Shopping-Enquiries/page216 I got these 1000+ posts from helping people checking their racket either genuine or not I believe Eric means 2nd part is DD MM Y X and 2 country code I believe he means Y and X part (2nd part (X)) is batch number if he didn't mean it, I dare to say Eric is wrong about this matter here in BC, we have 4500+ data about it and it does follow that pattern (DDMMYX 2 country code for the cone code) please get the fact right? P.S: you might want to learn a little bit more about it http://www.badmintoncentral.com/forums/showthread.php/63922-Guide-How-to-Spot-Counterfeit-Yonex-Rackets?p=1049203#post1049203 check post number 1.2 good job on trying to find someone's mistake? I open BC for the sake of identifying fake racket. I didn't talk much outside this sub-forum demolidor has not check the fake thread racket for so long and only few of us who are willingly to identify fake racket another good job on your humour but you make the racket owner feels sad and angry for some period of time. it is not funny for me P.S: they use machine to spray the racket, but like I said before, Yonex really messed up with VT80's paint job one batch would differ from another batch
Hi, i can not tell you if your racket i fake or not, but i have the same racket and my code is 220912dk, and i know that dk is for denmark. To mee it�s looks real. But i denmark there has been a warning on Yonex.dk that "Be careful, there is at the moment a lot of copy produkts on the market.
Does the way the painted words look really that important? I would be more concerned if it plays funny rather than it looks funny.
