I have checked in the information of your Yonex Nanospeed 7000 shaft Serial:5488716; Cone Code:230670JP (date=23 Jun 2007) to my information list of Yonex rackets made in Japan. For the cone code of 230670JP (date=23 Jun 2007), the valid shaft serial should be close to 6978000. For the shaft serial of 5488716, the valid cone code should be something like 080453CC (date=08 Apr 2005). IMHO, the Yonex Nanospeed 7000 shaft Serial:5488716; Cone Code:230670JP (date=23 Jun 2007) is a fake.

---->8---- cut here (include this line) ---->8---- racket model: Yonex Nanospeed 8000 shaft serial: 6184867 cone code : 161205SP source : a friend price : $ 80 (used) ---->8---- cut here (include this line) ---->8---- I actually bought three Yonex Nano Speed 8000 -racquets from the same person, and, oddly enough, they all have the same codes (161205SP) in their cones. Same batch, perhaps? Be as it may, I'd greatly appreciate if someone could confirm the genuinity of my racquet.
it doesn't matter what the shaft serial is because the NS8000 was not out in 2000. thus, the rackets are counterfeit.
Really? Should the racquets be fake, I'd be shocked, since the person I bought them from is a badminton coach and a veteran player. Could anybody else (leehsim, maybe?) confirm ryim_'s claim? I need to be completely sure of this. Thank you in advance, and thank you, ryim_! Jymbalaya, the shaft codes weren't identical; the codes were 6184867, 6184937, and 6182419. Only the cone codes were identical.
not only that but for a shaft serial of 618xxxx, should be reflected with a date code that is much later than the year 2000. perhaps the coach himself doesn't even know its counterfeit.
Thank you, ryim_. It's all starting to smell quite fishy... Another strange thing with the racquets is that every one of them have the PBSI (Badminton Association of Indonesia) logo permanently embedded into their cones. And two of the racquets had this weird, golden hologram sticker glued on the cone where the code is. Unfortunately I don't remember what the sticker said. The codes in the shaft and the cone, however, were engraved and seemed legitimate. The paintjob and everything else about the racquets seemed fine, too.
PBSI and the sticker hologram does not mean that it is counterfeit. Genuine rackets do have those but in your case, they would not look legit.
Ah, I see. Thanks! Are you still sure that the racquets are counterfeit, though, referring to the codes in their cones? Is there no way the racquets could be genuine when equipped with the codes mentioned above?
