YONEX is produced in three places: all high-end rackets are produced in Japan, the middle-end rackets are produced in Taiwan Province Province, and some low-end models of YONEX brand trademarks are produced in China.
YONEX has divided different versions according to different sales areas and objects. That is, we often see CH (China), TW (Taiwan Province Province), SP(IP Indonesia /HK Hong Kong) (Singapore), TH (Thailand), JP (Japan), CP/CN(YONEX sponsors China national team).
CP (China National Professional Team) and CN (China National Team) are special rackets sponsored by YONEX for China National Team, and only a few of them enter the market through gifts. Some people say that the performance and material are incomparable to ordinary rackets, but they are the same, but the rackets used by stars do have collectible value, so the price is beyond the reach of other rackets.
1, SP(IP Indonesia /HK Hong Kong) (Singapore): Due to the price and circulation, SP is the most popular racket in the market except the CH version. However, imitations are also the most, and it is difficult to distinguish between parallel imports and imitations, so if you are not an expert, you should buy carefully.
2.TW (Taiwan Province Province): TW's rackets are similar to SP in material and price, except for some differences caused by transportation and marketing costs.
3.JP (Japan); In terms of price, the price is relatively high (Japanese price). JP version and CH version have the same materials and workmanship, but the sales direction is different.
4.TH (Thailand): Thailand is also one of the producing areas of YONEX, but YONEX's factory in Thailand only produces rackets sold in Thailand. Therefore, there is a certain gap between the TH version and other versions of rackets.
Although there are many versions and many places of origin, the technology used is the same, and the difference lies in the grade of the materials used.
In order to ensure the interests of consumers, it is recommended that you still buy the CH version of the racket, which has guaranteed quality and after-sales.
