    Without further photos, IMHO, I'd say that was genuine.
    I assume that the winner will get the racket shown in the photos.
    Good find.

    well, now that you mention it - a racket would be really great.
    Your answer is not too helpful though.

    thx anyway for the effort ;)

    100% fake/ falsch

    :D "Der Nummer des Schlägers beginnt mit CH und ist das beste was Yonex zur Zeit anbietet." Yeah right!

    I am inclined to believe this is a fake. Please see the top post in this thread or below:

    The racket in question above was made almost 4 months after yours but has a considerably lower shaft serial. The serials have been confirmed as legit by leeshim. This means the racket you are considering buying is a fake. Please stay away from it.

    Not a problem. I'd rather spend a short while of my time checking a racket out than know someone bought a fake when I had the opportunity to notify them of the authenticity (or lack of it) of the racket.

    Looks OK. UK codes don't tend to be fake either, there shouldn't be any problem with that racket.

    Could someone have a look at the first one (first link) that he mentioned, I'm somewhat interested in it if it's real.

    No need to look since it's Maylam99, a known counterfeit seller.

    Yeah, you can be 99.99999999999999999999999999999999999999999% sure they are fake, no-one would choose to make such a huge loss selling those rackets.

    On a aside note, I believe I have just uncovered one of the first fake Nanospeed 9900s (here). So from now on, be more careful when buying your NS9.9K. Oh and ROFL at the how to distinguish between genuine and clone strings guide. How ironic for a seller of fake rackets to write a guide like that.

    so, im pretty sure that ieBro or whatever his screen name was isnt a trusted ebay racket seller
    i thought he might be better than some of the other fake sellers (since he does say if its a clone or not, not that i was going to buy one from him)
    are those guides even accurate?

    I've no idea whether he's a "good" fake seller or not but consider this, whatever fake you buy, it's still a fake so surely this makes all fake sellers as bad as whoever you buy from, you're not getting the genuine racket. The recommended max tension in the NS9.9K listing was 32LBs which is massive. I wonder how it would cope at those tensions and if I had £46 to spare, I'd be a little tempted to buy one and see if it could take those tensions. The sadistic part of me would want to see it break a.)Because I would be getting a fake off the Earth and b.)When rackets break, it's kinda cool.

    I suppose admitting that they're fake is a measure that may prevent unaware people buying a fake but at the end of the day, producing fake rackets is still wrong. Some Apacs rackets mimic Yonex but never pretend to be the real deal. Fakes however, try to use the Yonex name. My advice, don't bother, save your money, get a genuine Yonex and enjoy!
