With expertise in place, serial numbers on pretend rackets may be made so equally as a result of it’s additionally being engraved on each shaft and assist cap, so we will’t discover any clear distinction. Guess they’ve invested some cash on this to shut the hole. Nevertheless, what we discovered is the serial quantity carrying quantity ending with ‘JP’ (it’s lined by the grip, we tried to raise it and managed to peek inside.) It says 170828JP. All unique Yonex rackets which might be offered in Malaysia come from Dawn Sports activities Sdn Bhd and that it ought to carry SP as a substitute of JP.

6) Grommets
High: Real Yonex racket
High: Pretend Yonex racket
And at last, the very last thing that we noticed is the standard of Yonex racket’s grommets. Originals are snugged fitly into the grommet holes and look sturdy. The distinction is sort of obvious right here.
