Distinguish the authenticity of tennis rackets. Generally, new brand rackets or rackets owned by star players are easy to be counterfeited as long as the price difference is sufficient and profitable due to their higher price or popularity, such as Wilson, Prince, Head, etc. are the main targets of counterfeit balls. Among racket types, those with a grip design of traditional PU or one-piece molded rackets are the most likely to be counterfeited. Most of the rackets held by star players have traditional PU grip designs. The grip is not difficult to counterfeit. As long as you find a similar rough prototype and apply the same color paint and logo, you can make a racket with an almost identical appearance. Wilson's Hammer series rackets are easy to play and are one-piece rackets, so they are easy to counterfeit. A simple and convenient way to identify counterfeit rackets: It is not difficult to identify genuine and fake brands. Generally, pay attention to the laser mark, Wilson, Prince, Head, Kennexlt; Note 1.gt; all have it, and the agent's warranty. However, there are still parallel imports on the market. In this case, you need to pay attention to the laser mark or the grip strap, the trademark mark on the back, the quality control mark, etc., and pay attention to the integrity of the entire racket mark. Anyway, just like when we usually buy household appliances or leisure sports goods, if we pay a little attention to the logo and quality and don't be greedy for cheap, you should be able to buy genuine products at a reasonable price. Due to Prince's special quality control procedures, each racket must undergo QC by Prince's in-factory quality control personnel before it can be shipped. Here, we will use Prince as an example to explain more complete precautions: 1. Laser mark , consecutive numbers, each number is differentlt; note 1.gt;; 2. Shrink film or cellophane printed with Prince protective grip beltlt; note 2.gt;; 3. QC mark on the cellophane (quality control Mark)lt; Note 3.gt;; 4. Brand or elevatorlt; Note 4.gt;; 5. Quantity and balancelt; Note 5.gt;; 6. Code marklt; Note 6.gt;; 7 , The perfect degree of color paint coating appearancelt; Note 7.gt;; 8. The grip cloth of the imitation racket sometimes does not even have Prince's Mark. It is a simple way to identify it.lt; Note 8.gt; Note: ( Notes for non-Prince) lt; Note 1.gt; The laser mark is considered an anti-counterfeit mark. Regardless of the price or model, every Prince and Wilson racket has a laser mark. The style of the laser mark may change every few years. . Some brands are only available in expensive rackets, but not in cheap rackets. Some brands do not have laser logos at all (brands without laser logos are less likely to be imitated!). Kennex seems to have some cheap rackets. There is no laser mark but there is an inspection mark. It is also possible that Kennex's inventory does not have a laser mark, or those rackets have been "processed". lt; Note 2.gt; Print the brand's MARK on the shrink film or cellophane that protects the grip belt. Almost all major brands do this, but some may still not. lt; Note 3.gt; The numerical code on the QC mark (Quality Control Mark) is the code name of Prince's quality control personnel. Sometimes it is stamped with a rubber stamp, sometimes written with a ball pen, and other brands are marked in different ways. . In fact, it doesn’t have to be a racket. For example, when buying electrical appliances, there will definitely be an inspection mark. lt; Note 4.gt; The characteristics and description of the racket are on the hangtag. You should take a look at it when buying a racket. Almost all expensive rackets will have a hangtag and description. If you buy a racket worth 3-5 thousand yuan, How can you do it without even reading the instructions! lt; Note 5.gt; Counterfeit rackets only imitate the appearance and appearance, but the weight balance of branded rackets will be completely within the marked range, and the balance head is light. Racquets almost always have lead weights added inside the grip to hold the balance, while most imitation rackets don't have the balance. The grips don't have lead weights, so they can be lighter. Use your hands as a fulcrum, and the balance will move toward your head or into the racket frame. Come on, maybe some people will find it easy to play like this, but they will find it difficult to play with a genuine racket... This identification method is ineffective for balancing head-heavy rackets.

lt; Note 6.gt; Some have barcode markings, some don't, and sometimes it depends on the sales area. lt; Note 7.gt; Counterfeit rackets can be put on the market without quality control inspection, so there will be some flaws in appearance, but you have to look carefully to see them. There may be bubbles and particles in the paint... Racquets with such cosmetic defects will not be accepted by brands with quality control standards. Of course, imitation rackets will also have a smaller proportion of rackets that have no flaws in the paint. lt; Note 8.gt; But in some accessories such as grips, straps, back covers, etc., it is not easy to find the exact same ones, or they are too lazy to completely copy them, because most people don’t notice this; in order to highlight the brand, branded rackets Most of the time, MARK is printed wherever the brand or mark can be printed from beginning to end. Of course, the belt and back cover are no exception. Racquets with strings will also have network cables printed on them.
