Armortec 800-OF fake.....real.......?? Hello ! I just buy an armortec 800-OF, but I don't know if is a genuine or fake. Unfortunately, I finding this awesome site AFTER buying the racquet I would like to know if is a fake or genuine. Can you help me ? 4405644 2204042SP Thanks guys ! (sorry if my english is bad....i'm french canadian...!)
4405644 2204042SP, Are you sure you type this correctly? Every digit counts............ If the numbers above are exact, then I would have to say it's most likely a fake. Post some pictures here will help us to confirm it.
Fake info Does anyone know how people make fakes? They copy the original! So I have no idea how you guys can tell a genuine from a fake from the serial number. A tell tale sign to check immediately when you buy a racquet is the shaft. Yonex throughout the years have manufactored this part of the racquet exceptionally well. Try flexing the shaft. A cheap immitation will flex really easily. Another way obviously is to go to a repetable place and compare it with a real one. I've seen some really good copies before but everytime, the stiffness of the shaft gives it away. Also, remember that a shaft loses some stiffness after it has been used for a while, so get your hands on a new one.
Racquet Bags Most of you don't know that in some countries, the retailer orders bags separately from racquets. Almost all retailers that I know of in Asian countries don't order the bags from the manufactor, but instead, provide a cheaper alternative. I have bought real racquets with fake bags before. Don't judge a racquet's authenticity by the racquet bag.
Oupss.......sorry..... Sorry guys, I've made a mistake with serial number. The right number is: 4405644 2204042SP Thanks a lot!
Wrong, dealers don't need to "order" bags because they are provided by Yonex for free with each racket. If you "order" bags from elsewhere, it will cost more and no dealer will do such a thing. Let's hope your "real" rackets are not high-quality fakes.
It's the same as you posted before. If you don't provide us the exact numbers, we can't help you in any way.
