How to identify the authenticity of Yonex badminton rackets:

First, look at the photo-engraved steel number. The current YONEX racket has a laser-engraved factory number on the shaft and the taper at the front of the handle, that is, a double steel number. The one on the handle is the product serial number, which is different for each racket; the taper is the product batch number. , the same batch of products with the same batch number. The two English letters at the end of the batch number represent the sales area, and mainland China is CH. Nowadays, counterfeit rackets also have steel numbers, but some are printed on them, and some have different font details from the real ones. However, the early YONEX badminton rackets only had a product batch number with deeper and thicker strokes on the tapered handle (commonly known as a single steel number).

Second, look at the wire hole particles. The wire hole rubber particles (also called string protection tubes) of real YONEX badminton rackets are injection molded with a mold. The ends have more than 30-degree chamfers and are burr-free. Different sizes of rubber particles are basically used in different positions of the racket frame. , on the inside of the frame where the horizontal and vertical lines of mid-to-high-end badminton rackets intersect, the ends of the rubber beads in the thread holes are in a V-shape that opens outward; while the ends of the rubber beads in counterfeit badminton rackets are generally flat. The edges are sharp and have no chamfers, and are prone to burrs. After being used for a period of time, they can easily crack, wear or even fall off. In more serious cases, the service life of the feather line will be affected.

Third, look at the laser anti-counterfeiting labels. The latest YONEX badminton racket's laser anti-counterfeiting label is oval and golden, usually affixed to the cone of the racket handle. Under the light, you can see the "YY" type LOGO and the dark pattern of the word "YONEX".

Fourth, look at the LOGO on the bottom cover. The white "YY" LOGO on the bottom cover of a real YONEX racket is not on the same plane as the green bottom surface, but is slightly protruding and can be touched. The font of "JAPAN" is very special. Whether it is a LOGO or letters, the edges are neat and there is no burr.
