a true badminton player will work hard & pay a lot to get the original rackets he wants. my parents almost disowned me after they found-out that i spent my saving on a piece of racket. well its worth the troubles though. Those who buy fakes will play as bad as they started. and i think yonex, since they have serial numbers on every racket should have an online database check of serials, and give us the right to snap every fake rackets we see. that would be cool.
If someone was able to hack the online database and add numbers then there is no point and it would be a waste of money.
yonex would be stupid if they will upload a hackable database. you dont know maybe its on their drawboard.
yonex will be stupid to give the fake seller a testing bed to check if their fake number pass the test. also, the ser# and cone codes are preoduced not by a formula, it is by production. so, there is not really a good way to store it. after all yonex is in racquet business, not database business.
That's more like a racket collector... A true badminton player will work hard and get sponsored. Well, it's a good thing that right is not Yonex's to give...
Irrelevant to me. My coach trashed me with a wooden racket. He can only do better with any of those carbon graphite fakes. Basically, I will not walk out nor feel bad if I got trashed by another player using a fake. Should you?
You would feel bad if you know another player worse than you playing with a fake racket and beats your.
well ofcourse, you'l feel something if youve got beaten by a fake or a wood, .but why walk out? challenge over and over again until his racket gives out

indeed, i had my first YY racket with around 100RMB several years ago, the thing is that was my first racket, and i didnt know that the racket would cost more then 500 RMB just for a real one, so i went to shop and tell them that i need a YY racket and no more than 200RMB,then i got that fake one. But soon after i playing badminton in a better level,i brought my second racket that is a Carlton,not YY, since CH vision has bad reputation and expansive for a recreation player.
The squash racket is like between a badminton and tennis racket weight but the string bed is much bigger. It's like a jumbo badminton racket.
Maybe the player is not worse... Only his gearse were worse. That would make it a crude case of gear arrogance then. I remember in my early teens when I felt really good about my new ProKennex Ceramic 858. I faced off with this guy who played a Cab8. So a 1 piece all carbon latest tech stuff vs. a half carbon with a T-joint showing... I got whacked quite badly. Taught me a good life lesson about humility especially to avoid being a gearhead.
Fake yonex racket is produce by the same factory that make Apacs. Heard about it before? I have a fake Cab 21SP and it feels like original. Advertisement & marketing cost makes Yonex racket expensive. Also, Yonex have to fork out money for sponsorship. Like DVD producers, they can't make money from only making/selling original DVDs. They make counterfeit too, secretly. This is what I understand from my factory visit. Maybe the factory that make Yonex also using the same die/mold to make fake rackets ???
u must be mentally strong to use fake rackets or it will effect your performance. If you can play & feel like original racket, what is the point paying so high just for a brand or a word "Yonex"??
