Help, Armortec Ti60000

abihasa · 05-16-2005, 05:32 AM

Hi to everyone, i'm just a newbie and i'd like to ask a few questions. I've read the article about the serial number of the Yonex racquets, and i;m just wondering why the racquet being sold to me has none on the shaft when it is totally new? Is this possible? The serial number i only have is the one on the cone. Is there even an Armortec TI 60000? It says that it uses microcarbon as material and has pentium technology? Can you guys help me, this is really urgent... By the way it says that it is made in Japan....

Hope you guys can help me coz i know that you are the experts.

Thanks in advance

PS
I posted pictures as well

This model is a fake, as indicated by its absence from the official Yonex website and catagolue listings.

For the comprehensive list of model currently released, please refer to http://www.yonex.co.jp/intl/badminton/index.html

fake, but pretty nice design !!

yeah... i have seen that racket before here in toronto when i first saw it, it thought it was a beta type armortec. sorry to tell you, but it is a fake. though its a fake, its a racket and you can use it still. all depends on the user

Definately a fake (nice one though). Tip: if the serial number on the cone is not engraved then it is always a fake. This one seems to have a painted serial number.

Most likely the fake's design is done on a Pentium computer....

Thanks for the info. Yet it weighs at around 84g (as it says). It may be a good racquet for practice, but i dont know... well, might as well buy a new one. An original one i might add...

My friend told me his bro bought it in Vietnam, there may be a lot of fakes there huh.... Anyway, may this be a warning to all before buying a new yonex...

Wow! Pentium @6Ghz. This must be a top secret design fro Intel... Does it over heat very often?

cooler · 05-16-2005, 07:26 PM

How much was this racquet?

silentheart · 05-16-2005, 10:29 PM

Check out the date code. Made in 2008? WOW! Back to the Future 4! I got to meet the seller and ask him about the next winning Lottery number. If I win, I will share with Kwun for setting up this forum.
