The simplest and most authoritative identification method is to log on to the official website of yonex China and submit relevant information through the racket inquiry function provided by the website.
second, self-identification
first, look at the photoetching steel grade. At present, the racket shaft of YONEX racket and the cone at the front end of the racket handle all have the factory number of laser engraving, that is, the double steel number, and the serial number of the product is on the racket handle, and each racket is different; The cone is the product batch number, and the same batch of products has the same batch number. The two English letters at the end of the batch number represent the sales area, and Chinese mainland is CH. Now fake rackets also have steel numbers, but some are printed, and some are different from real rackets in font details. However, the early YONEX badminton racket only pressed the deeper and thicker product batch number (commonly known as single steel number) on the taper handle.
second, look at the line hole colloidal particles. The real YONEX badminton racket's line hole rubber particles (also known as the protective tube) are injection-molded by a mold, and the ends of the line hole rubber particles are chamfered by more than 3 degrees without burr, and rubber particles of different sizes are basically used in different positions of the racket frame. At the inner position of the racket frame where the middle and high-grade badminton rackets cross the hard lines, the ends of the line hole rubber particles are V-shaped and turned outward. However, the ends of the colloidal particles of fake feather bats are generally flat, with sharp edges and no chamfering, which are easy to burr. After being used for a period of time, it is easy to crack, wear or even fall off, which will even affect the service life of the feather line.
third, look at the laser security label. The laser anti-counterfeiting label of the latest YONEX badminton racket is oval and gold, which is usually attached to the taper of the racket handle. Under the light, the "YY" LOGO and the dark lines of the word "YONEX" can be seen.
fourth, look at the bottom cover LOGO. The white "YY" logo on the bottom cover of the real YONEX racket is not on the same plane as the green bottom surface, but slightly protrudes and can be felt. And the font of "JAPAN" is very special. Whether it is a LOGO or a letter, the edges are neat and there is no burr.
