The counterfeit products are rough in workmanship, blurred and distorted in printing (for example, rackets with shield-type PBSI logo should check whether the PBSI logo is printed clearly and neatly), the ends of the rubber particles in the thread holes are flat without chamfering, some rackets have vague fake laser anti-counterfeiting trademark labels (mostly oval), the racket sleeve feels hard, has no factory number (steel number), or is just a fake steel number printed instead of photoetching.
Specifically, it should be identified from the following aspects:
1. Overall appearance: the original feather racket shaft and racket frame are bright and smooth, the English characters, icons and other symbols are finely printed, and the double-photoetched steel grades on the racket shaft and taper handle are clear and identifiable; However, the fake feather bat is not as good as the original feather bat in all aspects, especially the shield-type PBSI logo on the cone handle is far from the true and false (there is no shield-type PBSI logo on the cone handle of the feather bat with the steel numbers of CH, TH and TW due to different sales areas. ）。
2. Lithography steel number: most of the YONEX feather racket shafts and taper shanks produced after 1999 are engraved with factory numbers that are difficult to counterfeit by advanced laser technology (commonly known as double steel number: the number on the racket shaft is the product serial number, and each racket is different; The number on the handle is the product batch number, and the same batch of products has the same batch number), as shown in the figure below; Most fake badminton rackets have no photoetched steel grade, some are printed fake steel grades (please be sure to identify them carefully), and some fake rackets also have steel grades, but careful identification shows that their font type, height, width and density are different from the real ones, so unfamiliar golfers had better bring a real racket for on-site comparison. Please note that the earlier YONEX badminton racket only pressed the deeper and thicker product batch number (commonly known as single steel number) on the taper handle.
3. Glue particles of the thread hole: The glue particles of the original badminton racket (also known as the protective tube) are injection molded by a mold, and the ends of the glue particles are chamfered by more than 3 degrees without burr, and basically different sizes of glue particles are used in different positions of the racket frame. At the inner position of the racket frame where the middle and high-grade badminton rackets cross the rigid lines, the ends of the glue particles of the thread hole are V-shaped and turned outwards; However, the ends of the colloidal particles of fake feather bats are generally flat, with sharp edges and no chamfering, which are easy to burr. After being used for a period of time, it is easy to crack, wear or even fall off, which will even affect the service life of the feather line. In terms of threading feeling, taking the most commonly used YONEX BG-65 feather line as an example, the inner wall of the protective tube feels smooth and unobstructed when it is really tapped, and it is easy and smooth to wear, and the threading sound is round and pleasant; However, when the fake racket is used for threading, it feels that the inner wall of the protective tube is rough and the friction is large, which is time-consuming and laborious to wear, and the threading sound is sharp and harsh.
4. grip rubber: the grip rubber of the original badminton racket is thin and soft, and it is evenly wound, flat and stable. The plastic protective film outside the new racket handle leather is tightly sealed by heat shrinkage technology; However, the rubber of the fake feather pat handle is thick and smooth, which is easy to loosen and slip, and it is damaged quickly after use. The plastic protective film outside the new pat handle skin is not tightly sealed, which is quite different from the real one. In addition, the bar code label on the fake racket handle is printed coarsely.
5. back cover of the racket handle: the JAPAN letters on the back cover of the original feather racket handle have unique fonts, and the colors around the letters are uniform; On the other hand, the Japanese letters on the back cover of the fake feather pat handle are rough, and there are traces of white strips around them.
6. Ball patting covers: original feather patting covers have various styles, different agents have different feather patting covers, and feel soft. The YY or YONEX trademarks of some patting covers are also embroidered by computer. In recent years, ball patting covers are generally printed with a single racket model, but only the racket series names, such as "TITANIUM, CARBONEX", and most of them are common patting covers of the same series. Some high-end rackets sold in Japan are equipped with black flannel. However, the materials of fake feather patties are basically the same, and they feel hard. Most of them are printed with a single racket model, and the plastic smell is heavy.
