    fake for sure.

    it is not realistic to get a genuine Duora 10 for 19 quid. be real.

    I'm afraid this might be the new scheme of counterfeiters now. They'd claim an unbelievable reduction in the "original" price of the item so that buyers would think it's a genuine piece just based on that

    Fake for sure, a clubmate bought two of these years ago, even the holes are not symétrical. I have strung them, very cheap material.

    Sometimes these listing on wish are not for the actual item but are for an entry into a raffle to win that item. It's either that or they send you something completely different, or a fake.

    Bought one for fun. Complete fake. Racket was too light and the colors green and orange were not on the good side :D It's also head heavier and flex more. Cheap quality also. Fine for a beginner.
