    Can someone please check this for me?

    ---->8---- cut here (include this line) ---->8----
    racket model: Yonex ArmorTec 700
    shaft serial: 4661503
    cone code : 021236TH
    source : Private Part, See below
    price : US$110
    ---->8---- cut here (include this line) ---->8----

    ---->8---- cut here (include this line) ---->8----
    racket model: Yonex ArmorTec 900P
    shaft serial:9588944
    cone code : 020904TW
    source : Private Party
    price : US$110
    ---->8---- cut here (include this line) ---->8----

    I bought both from someone I know online, not here. Both are used. The quality looks good. The shaft is much more stiff than normal faked one:) But I want to be more certain. Please help.

    VT70 is fine [​IMG], can you recheck the shaft serial on the NS850?

    Numbers here are fine as well [​IMG].

    For both a little more detail on the source next time ... "reputable sports chain in Taiwan", "Random guy on the internet"
    There are more visitors to Taiwan every year you know ;)

    we need Demolidor to check it first

    Ok, i'll wait. the thing is the racquet mostly does not have the PBSI sticker. I added 2 extra grips and cant see that.

    sorry, but US coded rackets should NOT have PBSI sticker
    the PBSI sticker usually only for SP coded racket
    so it is already on the right track


    **same with sunrise sticker, sunrise sticker is only for Asia region

    Do you know what PBSI means?
    Persatuan Bulutangkis Seluruh Indonesia (Indonesian Badminton Federation)

    so why do you think your US code racket would have Indonesian badminton federation sticker?

    also, it would be expensive to import those stickers lol.. ;)

    yup, we need to wait Demolidor (as I don't have the data)

    Hi Avenger,
    Sorry for my late respons. I played one time with the racket, and it feels oke. But I am not a pro so I can not judge correct I believe.
    The price I don't now, I don't like to ask for the price of a gift.
    Thanks for your help anyway.

    nice :)
    I also believe it is real since I saw a VT5 that has close serial number and cone code to your's (but still, I don't want to give a signal it is real since I don't have the data)

    Taiwan serial number has different numbering system than made in Japan one (there can be two same shaft serial with Taiwan numbering system, while made in Japan shaft serial only one of a kind)

    shaft serial: 6120103
    cone code : 231104US

    cone code:
    23 11 0 4 US
    this racket is produced 23rd of November 2010 for US distribution (there are many codes, JP for Japan, UK for United Kingdom, TH for thailand, CH for China, etc.)
