Wow Master_Yoda, trying to be allllllll hardcore. I don't think we should reply to sink to his level.
Hello People
I've ordered a Armortec 900T and have been looking through the forums for information and have noticed a pattern emerging.
All the people whose rackets seem to break are from Asia and specifically Maylasia and Singapore. My theory is that you all have fake rackets. You pay through the nose for crap because in those countries its not very well regulated and there are no trading standards.
People will sell you a fake racket because they make more money which they need to feed their family. Unlike in the UK where people don't need to work and the company who sells it to you will get alot of grief for selling you crap.
No offense
I think you should keep your smartass comments to yourself and do a bit more research in the ways of how Asian countries operate economically before you make any more stupid comments like that. I could name a thousand ways to get fakes in UK, but does that make the UK a country who cannot even control it's economy even though it's one of the major "western powers"? I think not. And don't think that adding "no offense" to your statement will make that garbage you wrote look any better and less offensive.
Hello Yoda,
I dont know how frequent have u travel to Singapore or Malaysia or even to S.E Asia or to China? When u make this comment, it certainly unfair to those genuine suppliers in Spore and Malaysia. There are fakes rackets at many places but I would prefer to buy YY rackets in Singapore rather than other places because of the genuine stuff I will get there. Please dont make sweeping statement in this case.U are implying shops in Spore and Malaysia are selling fake stuff.

I have travelled to many ASIAN countries and the fakes business is a big part of the economy. The UK and no other country can completely control the market but the companys in the UK are alot more likey to be taken to court than in Asia because we expect better and have the cash to do so.
Cheers for saying it was a smart comment, you lot haven't realised it and have been chatting about it for god knows how long.
Would the major badminton stores sell fakes ? Not so likely.Master_Yoda said:I can see by all your defensive reactions that in your minds you know I'm right and your all in denial. Just shows there's alot of screwed up people out there.
Glad I've made you all think for once and have sparked a healthy debate
Master_Yoda said:the professionals have real ones because they are sent direct from Yonex
Real Yonex salesmen would just import their goods directly from Japan.. If they're 'corrupted by criminal gangs', they wouldnt be 'real sales people from yonex'.The fakes business a big in Asia. Also the quality of fakes has risen considerably, you can have real sales people from yonex who are corrupted by criminal gangs selling rackets to reputable stores.

I think that you're really being arrogant, ignorant, and rather racist.

And why do the sponsored pros carry so many racquets during tournaments ? That's because they do quite often break their racquets, though they're definitely real.
If the companies in the UK are likely to take action about their counterfeit products because they 'expect better' and 'have the cash to do so', how about the Asian companies such as YONEX ?
Yonex obviously has much more money than any other brands in the world, so why dont they take actions about all the fake products in Asia that you mentionned about ?

One day when your own genuine racquet breaks, you'll find out that real ones do really break. >_>
Hello Master Yoda,
Have u been to Singapore? Do u know Singapore have very strict laws and rules against piracy. If you said some countries in Asia do sell fake rackets, then it will sound likely. But when u said specially Malaysia and Singapore do, then I think u have not done yr investigation thoroughly before u conclude.Do u want to set up a shop here to sell fakes and see whether u can get busted or not

My bad. You were commenting as if the Asian countries /and some of the people there were 'bad'. Some of which you said were true, but really.. you were like looking down upon some Asian countries.First of all you obviously don't know what being racist is. Being racist is taking the piss out of people for being a certain race. Its not racist describing the reality of what goes on in other countries.
That can be likely.4th, Badminton stores would not knowly sell fakes
Exactly. The people here broke their racquets probably due to the same reason.5th pros break rackets alot easier because their tension is so high
Spam. The last time I heared someone say that was by a 11 year old kid.
Yes, a long time ago.Master_Yoda said:Was that by one of your classmates?

There are bad people all over the world in every country, I'm not racist, I am actually half Chinese myself and have throughout my teenage years suffered alot of racism. I would never be racist to anyone because I know what its like to be on the receiving end.
I have the international catalogue, provided by a Yonex authorized dealer.
To answer your question, it is posted on Yonex’s website. The question is, are you looking at the correct Yonex website?
I'm looking at the Yonex.com website...is that not their correct website?
