    no it isn't. it isn't that much to buy a genuine one in australia you know.

    People needs to know to check their other items and their ratings also. If it's too good to be sure and it's source from China, sure go for it...

    4U are generally more fragile due to less material density in the racket itself. Also the rackets may have a have the feeling to over swing due to the material distribution for players that have used the 4U comparing it to the 3U counterpart.

    3U is the popular/common version for the Armortecs.

    Where are you located in Canada because the AT900T is avaiable in Canada from Yonex Authorized Dealers.

    I saw these two serial codes in an old shop sometime ago:

    30254XX 030412HK

    31179XX 060613SP

    Please help me check them, although from my racquet collection I believe they should be legitimate.

    Looks about right yeah [​IMG] ...

    "I have checked in the information of your friend's Yonex Ti10 shaft Serial:3027773; Cone Code:040413HK (date=04 Apr 2001) to my information list of Yonex rackets made in Japan, its shaft serial and cone code are legitimate."

    Personally I don't see what could be wrong with this one, however: http://www.badmintoncentral.com/forums/showpost.php?p=675547&postcount=1299 But no followup to it [​IMG]

    Thanks a lot for the info. I have gotten hold of both racquets and removed the original grips to confirm. Both have the Yonex production sticker on the handle bottom and the screw connecting the shaft to the wooden handle, just like all of my other genuine Yonex racquets :)

    Just a guess: Leeshim perhaps meant that the cone code couldn't have been printed "UK"

    All fake. DONT BUY YONEX on eBay, especially from China (excluding Hong Kong). You might as well buy your football shirts from Thailand or icehockey jerseys from Korea :rolleyes:

    What about shaft serial:7916801? Shaft serial is no good without the cone code.

    You said, EXCLUDING Hong Kong, mine is from Hong Kong, so maybe no fake?
    The racket seems very well processed...
    What must i control at the racket to be sure??

    Excluding Hong Kong was because there is at least one genuine seller (badmintondeals) on eBay from there. For China I can't remember one that is genuine.
    Yours is not from the genuine seller unforunately, well for that price you surely could not have expected it.

    061192CH = 06/11/2009 around that time the shaft serial numbers are in the high 8 million already, definitely not in the low 7 million 70xxxxx (7072076).

    Don't buy from maylam99 either from Australia.

    I'm looking for a Arcsaber z-Slash technique. Which seller you can recommend. I want a legit racket and as cheap as possible. It mustn't be an e-bay seller. I hope you can help me.

    :D That sounds a little harsh, but people never seem to learn ... Time to be blunt about it ;). What seller is that anyway so the rest knows who to avoid? Although you should avoid it (eBay, auctions, classifieds) altogether unless you are 100% sure, not even 99.9%.
