Let’s talk about the production process of the racket: raw material, carbon. It is to first spin carbon into carbon yarn, which is as fast as cloth, and then tie the carbon yarn into a hollow tube according to the thickness of each part of the racket (according to the design of the racket, force, etc.), and the hollow tube There is also a support frame, such as bamboo or something. After the entire length of the racket is wrapped, the bamboo strips are removed and a long strip is formed. The long strip is simply shaped and then placed into the mold. Titanium, copper, and super steel Most of the materials (some patented technologies unique to each company, especially in terms of materials) are made into fiber mesh, and are wrapped together with carbon yarn when the long strip is wrapped. This long strip is put into the mold together with some resin and then heated. You also need to fill in the eyebrow area (triangular area), and at the same time inflate and pressurize the plastic tube. After heating, demould and saw the handle. The carbon fiber racket frame (hollow) is formed. The material tube remains inside (it must have been almost burned by the high temperature). The above process is relatively difficult to understand. Just make do with it, and it will be very clear when you see it on the spot. Therefore, the authentic tennis racket is hollow, the wall is actually very thin, and the weight is very light. The weight and balance of the racket are mainly formed at this stage. The general quality control at this stage of a genuine racket is: material, density of carbon yarn, whether the long strips are wrapped properly, filling the racket with air in water, checking whether there is air leakage, and so on. Fake racket: In this process, A is that the mold is not good, so the racket is uneven, even when viewed horizontally, it is not a flat surface. Some rackets are so bad that if you stand upside down with the cover down, you will not be able to stand and fall over. The long bag B is not good, the appearance is bumpy, or the material is different from the genuine one, and it cannot be made hollow or semi-hollow. In that case, the weight and balance of the racket will be different from the genuine one, which leads to the second identification factor. Method, if the weight of the racket exceeds the weight indicated by the racket or the official website (heavier) then it is generally fake. If it’s light, we’ll talk about it later. Take a break,,,

,,, continue, up to the above, the embryo of a racket is completed. In fact, the previous process determines the performance of a racket to a large extent. Now let’s talk about the appearance. After the embryo body comes out, it needs to be coarsely ground, finely ground, and filled with soil. Imagine that you have wooden floors in your home. The high ones are ground and the short ones are filled with soil. This process is actually a relatively simple one, but For imitations, it may be the most important and the closest process to the real thing. After the above process, a racket is very smooth and beautiful. In appearance, there is no big difference between the genuine product and the defective product. Then, first apply a layer of primer, and after it dries, apply another layer. For example, some paints are transitional, that is, from dark to light colors, some are flat paints, which are more masculine, bright paints, or clear paints. It is more beautiful, and there are also beautiful but easy to peel off plush paint. The spray painting process is very important because many paints have high technical content. The problem with many imitation brands is that the embryonic body is not polished clean. After painting, If there are small particles, small bubbles, small wrinkles, the paint will go out of bounds. Left and right asymmetry, etc. . Pay attention, it's easy to see. Of course, some big brands don't pay much attention to this small flaw, so they are copied the most.

Then, attach the water mark, the words on the racket, such as: HYPER, TEAM, such as the brand LOGO, some patterns and so on, they are not sprayed on, they are printed by the water mark factory, just like when we were children. A kind of paper. After it is glued with water, stick it on. When it is almost dry, remove the paper, and the patterns, words, etc. will be on the racket. Many young people also look like this when they see the ball on their body. Of course, these on the racket The workmanship of the water mark is better, and it involves intellectual property rights. The problems with imitation brands on the water mark are: it is attached crookedly, the pattern is damaged when the paper is peeled off, there are small particles, small bubbles, small wrinkles under the water mark, or the water mark paper itself is fake. Not like. . This process requires patience. Female workers usually apply it very carefully. The smaller the logo, the easier it is to notice the flaws. The distinction here is very important, so brands pay great attention to their own image, so think of these places. You can tell if there are defective rackets or fakes by looking at them yourself. I have seen a lot of fakes in some stores, but I have not found any fakes that can be as good as the real thing. Attach the water mark paper and let it dry. Some add a layer of varnish or flat paint, bake it, and it's done. Then add the back cover of the grip and it's complete. . . Most famous brand water labels are affixed to the surface. At this stage, you'd better identify from multiple aspects, such as: color, pattern, text, printing quality of LOGO, handle, bottom cover, etc. The best way is to look at the paint craftsmanship, the printing quality of the water mark (LOGO, text, pattern), and the direction of the sticker, because this is very important. No brand's inspection personnel will let these problems go wrong. Then you have to Look at some details, whether the threading opening is neat and free of burrs, and whether there are gaps. For example, is there a LOGO or text on the PVC plastic wrapped on the grip leather? Are these words similar to some genuine products? Is there any text or LOGO on the grip leather? Does the LOGO look similar? The LOGOs here are usually embossed. Then look at the back cover. The back cover has LOGO and SIZE to see if it looks like it. Generally, you can get a rough idea from the above. It is more difficult to find supporting factories for these accessories, so many fake goods are in the grip leather, the plastic leather outside the grip leather, and the bottom cover, which exposes the flaws.

As mentioned above, what should I do if the fake racket is lighter than the upright racket? (It is actually very difficult to make it lighter, unless you use materials lighter than carbon.) Because the racket is hollow, you can add weight. . Measuring balance is a good idea, but balance is primarily determined by the structure of the racket, which is the mold. The balance of some fakes is very close. In short, the weight is heavier than the advertised, fake, and many fakes can't get through it. If the weight is basically correct, then it is to measure the balance. Of course, I personally feel that this indicator has no appearance and Excess weight is easily identifiable.

Concerning elevator cards, warranty cards, etc., if others tell you that it is genuine, you must have these things. Without these things, who would dare to say that it is genuine. The same is true for elevator cards and warranty cards. It’s also a facade, and generally the workmanship is exquisite. If you bought it from a regular store, the warranty card or warranty should have the product number, some serial numbers, and the agent’s seal printed on it. The warranty card has rough workmanship, illegible handwriting, no filling in the blanks, no stamp, etc. It is all fake. Although some time ago I heard that the elevators were genuine but the goods were switched and turned out to be fake. But) you feel that the workmanship is rough and mostly fake.

Reminder of some tips, some high-tech, imitation brands cannot do it, for example, WILSON's N5, I won't talk about sodium, everyone doesn't understand, haha.

Its grip and racket frame are not formed in one piece, but are glued together (so it also provides good shock absorption). I heard that this glue cannot be made in China at all. It is used in aviation materials. It is a fake racket. , it would not dare to glue the grip and racket frame like this. Think about it, this is where the force of the racket is the greatest. If it is stuck with ordinary glue, an expert may take it off in a few times, so if the N5 is fake, then his The grip and racket frame must be connected, and then a slot must be made to symbolically insert some black stuff into it. As for the real N5, you can see something similar to glue, and you can tell that it feels like it is sticking on, and it is genuine. In case (in case, I haven’t heard of it coming off) it does come off, I think the warranty period You can also find it under Wilson Theory. Some other brands also have some patented technologies, and some imitation brands will never be able to produce them. Please add.

Authentic products have trademark marks everywhere, and anti-counterfeit products are difficult to be precise one by one. Pay attention to the small holes and trademarks on the leather of the handle. The picture was taken with an emergency mobile phone. I cannot see clearly. I apologize. !

Regarding some nouns, A industrial shot = imitation shot = fake shot B. Use other people’s molds and put your own brand on them. I have not studied this kind of thing. C defective product D. Factory goods and others E, genuine

A, is what we said above.

C. Defective products. Some sellers of fake products will tell you that their products are defective products from the factory and do not affect use. My friend worked as a factory QC for a major brand for two years. He started supervising the materials. For example, after the embryo came out, it was necessary to fill the water with air. If there are bubbles, it means there is air leakage. It is not qualified and will be sawed off directly. , where do you get so many products for sale? You should also be able to see the defective parts of defective products, so I say: Don’t listen to people saying that the fakes I sell are just defective products. In fact, it is not even produced by that foundry. Origin of authentic rackets: Most well-known tennis rackets are produced in China, mostly in Shenzhen, Dongguan, Guangdong, and Xiamen, Fujian. (There seems to be a trend of opening branch factories in Southeast Asia. For example, some NIKE shoes are produced in Vietnam and Indonesia. (production), at least before I left the racket factory, I had not heard of any production areas other than these places. These are large Taiwan-owned factories with strict management. There won't be any defective rackets left or leaked out.

D, factory rackets, really exist. There are only two sources: In order to fear that there will be too many orders and not enough orders during the factory inspection, the factory will produce a small amount of extra rackets. After shipment, there may be some leftover, which may be sent to the boss or something. The quantity is extremely large. Extremely rare 2) Samples left by the factory staff of big brands, some welfare rackets issued by the company. Such rackets are generally of good quality and new styles. They are not even sold in China. Generally, they do not have warranty cards or anything like that, but they are of good quality. , the quantity is small, acquaintances have already ordered them, and very few have entered the market. In short, factory photos are hard to come by, and it is almost impossible to get them if they are not near the place of production.

Based on the above, there are roughly the following types of rackets: 1) Complete with certificates, high price, sold in some authorized sporting goods stores or online 2) Complete with certificates, known as genuine, even new models at extremely cheap prices, (a certain There are many such rackets on some large shopping websites) It is also fake when you think about it. Things that do not conform to the law of value at all 3) There is no certificate, telling you that an acquaintance got it from XX channel, and it is guaranteed to be the same as the genuine product. I have said this kind of racket, there are two possibilities, A) Factory goods, good quality, extremely cost-effective, but The quantity is very small, or the quantity is large, it is a racket that you have never heard of, most of which are sold out near the place of production, B) Fake goods, fake products without even ID, through special channels---training, schools and so on. .

Let’s talk a little more. Here are my personal feelings and personal opinions. Some fans can express their opinions to refute me:

Let’s not mention the quality of the painting. Just look at the appearance and workmanship. Little Japan YONEX's workmanship should be the best. Some people say that YY rackets are all produced in Japan. In fact, there are also a small number of them in China. My friend told me that a YONEX racket was made in a factory in Shenzhen a few years ago, and the results were inspected by YY. The staff did not conduct random inspections, but inspected each batch to look at the appearance. They used a magnifying glass. As a result, 100% of the batch failed. They had to re-grind and re-make the appearance before releasing it. Other brands (W, H, P, etc.) All the inspection personnel were ashamed. We can also see from YONEX’s badminton rackets that Japan has high requirements for appearance (again, we don’t know the quality under the coating), so people who buy YONEX fakes in China are relatively stupid, because YY’s fakes and The real thing must be fake. You can tell at a glance. Despise little Japan.

Among the other big brands, PRINCE may have the best appearance, because PRINCE's quality control is also very strict. In the past, people in the factory were more afraid of people with P marks inspecting goods. HEAD, the quality control is also very strict. Maybe the Austrian character is influenced by the Germans. BABOLAT's rackets have been developed in the past few years. They have beautiful appearance and are very popular among young people. The painting is clear and elegant, and the workmanship is okay. They feel better than W. But strangely, there seem to be a lot of fake photos. Compared with the others, WILSON's appearance is relatively average, so EXXX and TXXXXX have the most people selling cheap new WILSON products. Of course, it has something to do with Wilson's market strategy for high-end, high-end and low-end products to fully bloom, as well as its relatively high market share and brand recognition. ,,,The number of fake photos on the market is basically arranged in the above order from small to large. People who make fakes generally imitate things that are easy to imitate, and only consider the brand effect secondly.

FISCHER, DUNLOP and its brother S note, there are a lot less fakes on the market, maybe because there are relatively few people who know them, and the sales volume is not enough, so there are fewer people who are interested in fakes, so there is nothing For people who have a particularly strong brand preference, it is very cost-effective and sensible to buy them. Although the paint design is a bit monotonous, the workmanship is good, the quality is good, and the price is affordable. There are also some brands that may not have fakes at all, such as LEADER (products from major manufacturers, the quality is reliable), BONNY? (Bo Li), it’s a good family, and it’s not expensive. There are also some brands that I don’t know much about, so I won’t talk nonsense.

I can’t say enough about the specific brand and the authenticity of the model, and we discussed them individually.

Fake rackets can hurt your hands and body. If you spend a lot of money to buy a fake racket, it can also hurt your self-esteem. Keep your eyes open. I believe you get what you pay for, don’t buy something if you know it’s fake. Sometimes I think it makes sense for the racket to be more expensive. When developing a new racket, you have to go through countless tests. Sometimes the workers see themselves working hard and carefully. People will cry if they come out and the rackets posted are destroyed batch by batch. Some female workers, when wrapping long strips and affixing water labels, will get their hands rotten if they do too much. Because precision is required, they usually don't wear gloves. In any case, a lot of such hard work is paid for at the price of a handful of genuine products. This is reflected in the fact that each model of a genuine racket will undergo a lot of pressure tests, fatigue tests and so on. Buying genuine rackets is also a sign of respect for workers. I hope it will be helpful to friends who are choosing to take photos!
