The method to distinguish the authenticity of Yonex Bow and Arrow 11 is as follows:
First, look at the overall appearance: the surface of the original badminton racket shaft and frame is bright and flat, with English characters, The icons and other symbols are clear and neat; while the fake badminton racket is inferior to the original badminton racket in all aspects above, especially the shield-shaped PBSI logo on the handle. There is a huge difference in clarity between the two. In addition, the factory number (commonly known as the steel number) is often engraved on the symmetrical surface of the PBSI logo on the handle of the original badminton racket or on the shaft, and the newer original badminton racket handles and shafts use advanced photolithography that is difficult to counterfeit. Steel number (double steel number: the number on the racket shaft is the product series number, which is different for each racket; the number on the racket handle is the product batch number, and the same batch of products is the same batch number), as shown in the picture below; while many fake badminton rackets have no Factory number. (Please note: non-SP numbered badminton rackets may not have the shield-shaped PBSI logo on the conical surface of the handle, such as TW, HK and other numbered badminton rackets.)

In the position where the horizontal lines of the middle and high-level racket frames intersect, the rubber particles on the inside of the badminton racket frame are V-shaped; while the rubber particles in counterfeit badminton rackets are usually cut after being loaded, and the rubber particles in different positions are basically different. Use rubber particles of the same size, and the ends of the rubber particles should be flat without chamfers.
Third, look at the rubber on the handle: The rubber on the original badminton racket handle is thin and soft, evenly wound, flat and stable; while the rubber on the fake badminton racket handle is thick and smooth, easy to loosen and slippery. , and break quickly after use.
Fourth, look at the back cover of the racket handle: the color around the JAPAN letters on the back cover of the original badminton racket handle is uniform; while white can be seen around the JAPAN letters on the back cover of the fake badminton racket handle. Long strip marks and rough.
