    the middle one is real.
    only the first image is sufficient, provided grommets were unaltered in any way.

    this just goes to show though, without an authentic one to compare against side by side, it's getting very hard for the humble badminton player to distinguish between real and fake racquets.

    middle, I think,
    the YY logo on the t-joint fo the left one is off (small triangles) and if that's afke, and has the same buttcap colour, the right is also fake.

    i think...

    ***Clue*** Picture 1
    Look at the gold strip on the frame.

    ***Clue*** Picture 2
    Look closely at the E in the YONEX.

    Clues are for those who guess wrong.:D

    well, if you had a sense and you knew waht your looking at, it surely be middle, but where would the fun be in that?

    The yy logo on the first pic rules out the left. The yy logo on the second pic rules out the right. That leaves the middle one as the real thing. If the first pic didn't show the one on the right at an angle, one pic would have sufficed to show which are fakes.

    Yep, the grommets, that's one. The YONEX logo on the CSC is another and the key for me is the end cap.

    yes, the one in the middle is real!

    pic 1 the "yy" logo on the left is so fake and the right one is less fake. but both are still FAKE!
    pic 2 "yonex" looks good in the middle one.
    pic 3 and 4 can't really tell!
    pic 5 both the left and the middle one looks good. definately not the right one. look at the words "JAPAN"! but according to my choice above. i will place my bet on the middle one as well!
    pic 6 and 7. can't really tell also.

    I'm in for middle, it has the clearest bottom, as well as the cap.
