Our main business is the world-famous brand YONEX (Younex) original badminton racket. At present, there are many counterfeit products in China, so badminton lovers should pay attention to identification when purchasing. Domestic counterfeit products generally cost between 90~ 150 yuan, and are currently used by students with poor economic conditions. Although counterfeit badminton rackets are cheap, they are rough in workmanship, poor in hand feel, short in service life and poor in quality, and long-term use is not conducive to cultivating the sense of ball and hand feel. It's better to buy a domestic all-carbon badminton racket for one or two hundred yuan. Our store encourages people to buy genuine YONEX badminton rackets.
The original YONEX badminton racket is characterized by fine workmanship, clear printing, injection molding of rubber particles with threaded holes (protective tubes), chamfering at both ends, multi-band full racket sleeve, soft hand feeling, and factory numbers engraved on the shaft and taper handle of the badminton racket. The racket produced in the early days used to have a square laser anti-counterfeiting trademark label, and later it was changed to an oval laser anti-counterfeiting trademark label. In recent years, it is difficult for ordinary people to identify the authenticity because the laser anti-counterfeiting trademark label is easy to forge. Now, the laser anti-counterfeiting trademark label has been cancelled, and the advanced and indistinguishable double-photoetching steel number has been engraved on the conical surface of the racket handle and the racket shaft.
Counterfeit products have rough workmanship, fuzzy and distorted printing (for example, the racket with shield-shaped PBSI logo should check whether the PBSI logo is printed clearly and neatly), the ends of rubber particles in the threaded holes are flat without chamfering, some rackets are labeled with fuzzy fake laser anti-counterfeiting trademarks (with many ellipses), the racket sleeve feels hard and has no factory number (steel number), or it is only printed fake steel number instead of lithography.
Specifically, it should be identified from the following aspects:
1. Overall appearance: the original badminton racket shaft and racket frame are bright and smooth, English characters, icons and other symbols are finely printed, and the double-photoetched steel numbers on the racket shaft and taper handle are clearly recognizable; However, the fake feather racket is not as good as the original feather racket in all aspects, especially the shield-shaped PBSI logo on the cone handle is far from the real one (due to the different sales areas, there is no shield-shaped PBSI logo on the cone handle of the feather racket with the steel grades of CH, th and TW). )。
2. Lithography steel number: YONEX quills and awls produced after 1999 are mostly engraved with factory numbers that are difficult to forge by advanced laser technology (commonly known as double steel number: the number on the handle of the racket is the serial number of the product, and each racket is different; The number on the handle is the product batch number, which is the same as the batch product batch number), as shown in the figure below; Most fake badminton rackets don't have photoetched steel numbers, some are printed fake steel numbers (please be sure to identify them carefully), and some fake rackets also have steel numbers, but if you identify them carefully, you will find that the font, height, width and density are different from the real ones. It is best for unfamiliar golfers to bring real rackets for on-site comparison. Please note that the early YONEX badminton racket only pressed the deeper and thicker product batch number (commonly known as single steel number) on the tapered handle.
3. Rubber particles of the threading hole: The rubber particles of the original badminton racket (also known as the protective tube) are made by injection molding, and the ends of the rubber particles are chamfered by more than 30 degrees without burrs, and basically different sizes of rubber 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 racket passes through the hard line, the rubber particle end of the threading hole is V-shaped; However, the end of the colloidal particles of the fake feather racket is generally flat, with sharp edges and no chamfering, which is prone to burrs. After a period of use, it is easy to crack, wear or even fall off, and even affect the service life of the feather line. From the aspect of threading feel, taking the most commonly used YONEX BG-65 badminton thread as an example, the inner wall of the protective tube feels smooth and smooth when it is really knocked, and it is easy and smooth to wear, and the threading sound is round and pleasant; However, when the fake racket is threaded, it feels that the inner wall of the protective tube is rough, the friction is large, it is time-consuming and laborious to wear, and the threading sound is sharp and harsh.
3. Grip glue: The grip glue of the original badminton racket is thin and soft, evenly wound, flat and stable, and the plastic protective film outside the skin of the new racket handle is tightly sealed by heat shrinkage technology; The rubber of the handle of the fake badminton racket is thick and slippery, which is easy to loosen and slip, and it will be damaged soon after use. The plastic protective film outside the skin of the new pat handle is not tightly sealed, which is very different from the real one. In addition, the bar code label on the handle of the fake racket is printed coarsely.
4. Back cover of the racket handle: The Japanese letters on the back cover of the original badminton racket handle have unique fonts and uniform colors around the letters; On the other hand, the Japanese letters on the back cover of the fake badminton racket handle are rough, and there are traces of white stripes around them.
5. Racket cover: The original badminton racket cover has various styles, and the badminton racket cover of different agents is different and soft to the touch. Some YY or Unix trademarks of racket covers are also embroidered by computer. Ball racket covers produced in recent years generally do not print a single racket model, but only the racket series names, such as "TITANIUM, CARBONEX" and so on. Most of them are ordinary racket covers of the same series, and some high-end rackets sold in Japan are equipped with black velvet bags; However, the fake badminton racket covers are basically the same in material and feel hard. Most of them are printed with a single racket model, and the plastic tastes heavy.
Generally speaking, as the world-renowned first brand of badminton rackets, we will take every detail of the products seriously, from product design and packaging to clear and neat printing of words and icons, and we can see the elegance of famous factories.
