The characteristics of the original and genuine YONEX racket are: exquisite material, clear printing, line hole rubber particles injected with a mold and 30~45 degree chamfers at the end, multiple full rackets with a soft feel, Most of the badminton rackets produced in recent years have factory numbers (steel numbers) engraved on the conical surface of the handle and the shaft. The square laser anti-counterfeiting trademark labels produced in the early days were later changed to oval laser anti-counterfeiting labels. In recent years, because laser anti-counterfeiting trademark labels are easy to be counterfeited and it is difficult for ordinary people to identify the authenticity, the laser anti-counterfeiting trademark labels have been canceled and replaced with a cone on the handle. The surface and racket shaft are engraved with advanced and difficult-to-counterfeit double photo-engraved steel numbers. Since 2006, the oval laser anti-counterfeiting label that was once canceled has now been re-attached to the shaft and cone, but it is more beautifully made and smaller in size! Specifically, it should be identified from the following aspects: 1. Overall appearance: The surface of the original badminton racket shaft and frame is bright and flat, and the English characters, icons and other symbols are clear and neat; while the counterfeit badminton racket is inferior to the original badminton racket in all the above aspects, especially The shield-shaped PBSI logo on the handle is very different in clarity. In addition, the factory number (commonly known as the steel number) is often engraved on the symmetrical surface of the PBSI logo on the handle of the original badminton racket or on the shaft, and the newer original badminton racket handles and shafts use advanced photolithography that is difficult to counterfeit. Steel number (double steel number: the number on the racket shaft is the product series number, each racket is different; the number on the racket handle is the product batch number, the same batch of products is the same batch number), (please note: non-SP numbered badminton rackets There may be no shield-shaped PBSI logo on the tapered surface of the handle, such as TW, HK, CH and other numbered badminton rackets.) The relevant pictures on this topic are as follows: (Currently counterfeit YONEX badminton racket steel numbers also have laser-engraved grooves. Please support us. Friends must identify them carefully! Many models of fake and imitation rackets are almost impossible for laymen to identify, and experts must carefully compare them to identify the authenticity!) Note: 1. The racket in the picture above is the TW version (see the word TW after the picture number) , some are the English abbreviations of sellers in different countries or regions such as SP, CH, UK, US, HK, KR, IP, GR, etc. Please note: they only refer to the seller’s logo, not the manufacturer’s logo to identify the original YONEX! You can tell the place of origin by just looking at the English letters on the racket shaft. As long as it is made in Tokyo, Japan, it will be marked with "MADE IN JAPAN". If it is not made in Japan, it will definitely not be marked with "MADE IN JAPAN"! This is for sure, unless it is a fake! YONEX high-end rackets are all made in Japan, and mid- to low-end rackets are generally produced in Taiwan. The racket shaft is usually marked with "designed by yonex" or "develope by yonex" instead of " MADE IN JAPAN", please pay attention to the distinction!), the TW version states that this racket is a genuine YONEX racket sold by a Taiwan agent. 2. Look at the meaning of the other 6-digit numbers on the handle and cone of the racket in this picture: 121203TW: 12120 refers to the production date of the racket: 12/12/2000 (December 12, 2000, the first two digits are 12 refers to the production date, the middle two digits refer to the production month, the last digit 0 represents the production year), the last digit "3" or other last digits, there is currently no exact statement. 3. The 7-digit number on the racket stick is the production number on the YONEX factory production line. This production number is unique. However, the market is currently flooded with fakes. There are also counterfeit factories that buy a real racket number and then make tens of thousands of fake rackets with exactly the same number. Therefore, you can go to YONEX to check and identify the authenticity of the racket based on the racket's steel stamp number. False does not have a completely reliable meaning! In fact, what YONEX can really answer you is to prove that they have produced a racket with that number, but it cannot guarantee that what you have is an authentic racket. Maybe the authentic racket with that number was purchased by a counterfeit factory, and what you bought is just A replica with the same number! In other words, you bought a fake shot! 4. Why are there so many price differences among different versions of rackets? Because there are large differences in national consumption levels and price indexes in various countries and regions, and because agents in various countries and regions add different amounts of profit, resulting in different wholesale prices, there will be differences between various versions. The price difference is quite large.

5. Which version of the racket has better quality? YONEX made a statement on this issue a long time ago: rackets of the same model between different versions have the same origin, quality, and performance! This website has always adhered to this point of view and believes that the quality, origin and performance of rackets of the same model in SP, CH, TW, HK, IP, KR, US, JP, UK, GR and other versions are exactly the same! Even if someone thinks that a certain version he is using is better than a certain version, we insist that that is only a possible case! Because even if there are differences between rackets of the same version and model, after all, the production process and craftsmanship of this racket are far from being comparable to digital products, and there is also a very important reason for using the racket. Psychological factors will influence you. opinions and actual usage results! This is the site’s view on different versions based on many years of experience in the industry. 6. Warranty issues for each version of the racket: The warranty period for the CH version of the racket is 3 months, and the premise is: within the specified poundage range, YONEX's 4-knot stringing method is used for stringing, normal use, without any accidental collision, without any Poor preservation, such as sun exposure and other reasons. "Within the specified poundage range" is actually a bit of an overbearing clause of the manufacturer, because we all know that golfers who generally use YONEX rackets will exceed the maximum poundage limit marked on the racket. At the same time, consumers use high-pounds. If you increase the tension on the cable, you are giving up the warranty rights stipulated by YONEX. In actual use, if there is no problem with the skill and attitude of the YONEX string puller, if the limit is 1-2 pounds higher than the limit, there will be no problems with the racket. During the use of the Yonex racket, if there is no collision, if the limit is 1-2 pounds higher than the limit, Nor will it cause serious consequences for the racket. Of course, it is very simple. The higher the poundage, the shorter the service life of the racket. This is a very simple truth. The carbon material of the racket is the same as other physical materials. There is a problem of physical strain and mechanical strain of the carbon material! 2. Line-hole rubber: The inner end of the original badminton racket's line-hole rubber is no longer cut after it is put into the racket frame, and rubber particles of different sizes are basically used in different positions. The line-hole rubber is injected with a mold and ends. The bottom has a 30~45 degree chamfer. In the position where the horizontal lines of the middle and high-level badminton racket frames intersect, the rubber particles on the inside of the badminton racket frame are V-shaped; while the rubber particles in counterfeit badminton rackets are usually cut after being loaded, and the rubber particles at different positions are basically The rubber particles of the same size are used on both sides, and the ends of the rubber particles are flat without chamfers. 3. Rubber on the handle: The rubber on the handle of the original badminton racket is thin and soft, evenly wound, flat and stable; while the rubber on the handle of the fake badminton racket is thick and smooth, easy to loosen and slippery, and breaks quickly after use. 4. Back cover of the racket handle: The color around the JAPAN letters on the back cover of the original badminton racket handle is uniform; however, long white strips can be seen around the JAPAN letters on the back cover of the fake badminton racket handle, which are rough. . 5. Racquet covers: Original badminton racket covers come in various styles, and different agents have different badminton racket covers with soft hand feel. The YY or YONEX trademarks on the appearance of some racket covers are also computer embroidered; while the shapes and materials of fake badminton racket covers are Basically the same, with a harder feel. The level of copying now achieved by counterfeiting factories is astonishing! The appearance is almost the same as the original racket, so it is difficult to identify, but please keep the paper barcode on the handle of your racket! Because the handwriting on the barcode is still very different from the fake, this is an important clue to identify the authenticity! The exquisite craftsmanship of the cover is also an important clue to identify authenticity! Of course, it is still the best rule to buy from reputable and reliable merchants! Generally speaking, YONEX, as a world-renowned first brand of badminton rackets, does indeed have the style of a famous player in many aspects, but it is YONEX rackets, including many high-end models, TI-10, AT-700, 800, including the latest NS- After buying the 9000 racket, many consumers found out that there were so many flaws on the racket, such as potholes, unevenness, bubbles in some models, etc. They thought they had bought a fake and felt unhappy. In fact, many golfers have too high hopes for the YONEX brand, thinking that such an expensive racket must be perfect when new, so when they see these flaws, they are unbelievable. We as merchants have seen too many of them. , to be honest, it’s okay~:) I once remembered a relatively large Taiwan-funded enterprise owner (supposedly with a master’s degree in physics) saying that the production cost of any racket, including raw materials and manufacturing costs, would not exceed 200 yuan. .

It can be seen that the high price of the racket is mainly due to the high added value and brand value! /Article/ShowArticle.asp?ArticleID=11
