    Hi i tried to copy and paste the format provided but i couldn't. I hope retyping will work too. Anyways can someone check the authenticity of these codes please? thanks so much.

    ---->8---- cut here (include this line) ---->8----
    racket model : yonex armortec 800 off
    shaft serial : 53522080
    cone code : 201000SP
    source : ebay seller (handyjozy)
    price: US$70
    ---->8---- cut here (include this line) ---->----

    I realise that compared to most yonex racquets the shaft serial on mine has one more digit than supposed to. does that automatically mean its fake? Also the racket is fairly used and was obtained at a warehouse sale in japan according to the seller, so hence the price. I'd really appreciate some help. thanks:)

    The serial does not correlate with the date code. Also AT800s was not made in year 2000! Too counterfeit!!

    Please confirm your model.
    ISO and Muscle Power are 2 separate series of Yonex racket models.
    I don't know any model of 725.

    i haven't heard of JJB selling fake racquets before, so you're probably alright.

    Can't believe I've bought a racket that I can't find on the web !!!!

    I'm back into the sport after 15 yrs, knew about muscle power and armortec but when I went into JJB on a retail park out of curiosity on the way to a customers I just thought it was an number system pre mp23 mp45 mp99 etc and I'd check online before using it !!!

    Like I stated I've used it, very happy and its a very good all rounder with what seems like legit serials etc, I'd just like to know more about it and make sure £40.00 has been spent wisely on this racket rather than something else !!

    Pardon my ignorance, after seeing your photographs of the racket; there is such a Yonex racket of Muscle Power 725 (with the phrase 'developed by YONEX Japan" painted on the shaft).
    Now I would like to know whether there is any phrase such as "Made in Taiwan" or "Made in China" painted on the green cap on the butt end of the racket.
