The most common giveaway for fakes that we've seen is the font of the serial number / production code not matching authentic rackets. After that, non-Yonex grommets. Keep up the good work CK!
Hey CK! Just yesterday, I purchased an Astrox 77 Pro from an official retailer in my area (Singapore). It had met all the criteria, which included the sticker, the barcode, the cap, and not being able to twist the racket head. However, the code it came with was 11010142 with no SP country code, which made me really confused. The code on the shaft is 2939124 which seemed legit to me. The codes were also laser engraved which made me even even more confused. Mind helping me check this one?
@@jolancarvalho363 I personally haven't come across cone codes like these so hopefully someone here can help! Just out of curiosity, what model of the racket is it?
I bought duora 10 for cheap price from my friend as he already have a lot of racket and at first i thought i buy duora 77 bcs of the price when i realize it is duora 10 i think i got scam by my best friend. He said it was a gift from his father and the racket look authentic but the price sheesh so cheap just rm150 for duora 10 frosty blue that made special for dato lee chong wei some more. Haiyaa what a dilemma

How to authenticate if the sunrise sticker is the old one? I have the Isometric Z Zeta LCW edition and it has sunrise that just looks like one showed in this video, and on the cap is says made in China and in the shaft it says developed by yonex japan
What if my yonex racket doesn't have any numbers neither a location from it was made? I don't also have any holographic sticker, the only proof I have is the white yonex logo with the dark green background is there, I was wondering if my yonex voltric 60 is fake because it only costs 14.71 dollars (250 philippine pesos) which is very suspicous.. maybe it was used because one time I hit it on the ground with full of rocks and the upper right side bended a bit easily, can you know if my yonex is fake or real with my comment? Thank you!
I bought my Yonex ASTROX 99 pro from a real Yonex distributor, the hologram sticker is real and legit, so as the serial number, Production date and the region (Mine's SP) but the hologram sticker easily peeled off, is this still a sign of counterfeit or nah?
Hey CK, just wondering, which country codes have the PBSI logo or not? I've been trying to search it up but I've only seen ones that say its only from ID or ID and SP, or country codes around Asia, got any clue on the specific country codes which do or don't have the PBSI logo?
My South Pacific racket Yonex voltric lite 25i has come without the sunrise holgoram. Rest all things seem to fit in... should I consider returning it?
I've everything right. From the code it shows the right date. The hologram sticker. The buttcap and barcode on the wooden handle but the things is the code ends with pj. Is it possible i have a fake racket?
I dont think its fake. I believe Yonex had a different series of serial number for specific models. If you've bought your racket from reputable dealers, you shouldn't have to worry
Hi sir where can i see a code? My yonex doura 88 has no code do i have to take off the rubber soft thing? My sisters bf just got it for me for christmas and idk if its fake or not!! 😓
Hello, in my racquet there is SP after the code, but also it says "made in Japan" on the racquet grip. So that's mean the racquet made in Singapore or Japan?
Helloooo, SP actually means the rackets are aimed to be sold within Singapore or South Pacific region. Yonex only has their rackets made in Japan, Taiwan and China depending on the models.
Hi CK Yew, I'm a new follower, and I hope you will notice me. Recently, I bought my first racquet. The brand of the racquet is Yonex Nanoflare 800LT. I checked all the possibilities of fake racquets, but all are genuine; the YONEX logo is okay, the code is 010712SP, and the color of the butt is okay as well. There's only one problem: It doesn't have a hologram sticker.
The code looks OK, but it is weird that you dont have that rainbow Yonex holographic sticker. If you've bought it from a reputable seller then its generally OK.
Hey, came across this video and i have a question: i went to check my rackets (astrox 99 and 99pro) and everything checks out, but when i tried peeling the holographic sticker off it came out quite easily. does that mean the rackets are fake or does this sometime happen with authentic rackets?
I have 68 in day place on my arcsaber 10 Peter gade edition, it is not encraved it is printed and all other things are fine, my racket is fake or genuine?

Do you have the answer to this one? I have the same concern right now
There are no Japanese characters on the bottom cap, only the words YONEX. Is this a genuine product? Or is it fake?
Genuine Yonex racket cap green cannot be replicated and the Yonex letters on the cap and yonex logo
Hey I have a carbonex 21 np racket and it has no holographic sticker or any serial number and the bottom part is green so is my racket fake?
There should be laser engraved serial numbers on the shaft and cone of the racket.
What if your racquet doesnt have sp, jp, uk or any leyyers on it. mine juat has numbers.
Same fr
On my racket the code on cone has 7 digits and not 6, and then SP it is yonex nanoray 6000i is it original!?
I think yonex India’s codes are slightly different now so I think yours are ok

Hi ! I got an Astrox Lite 27i and my racket code 11122N6SP and I was wondering if this is legit because there's an N on the manufacturing code?
Sp is singapore
Probably correct too since Yonex Sunrise is headquartered in Singapore!

I actually do not have a sticker under my grip in my ax100 tour. Is it normal?
The 100Tour is a Taiwan made model, I believe the sticker under the grip only exist for Japan made models.
@@CKYew Thanks, I was scared that my 99 play doesn't have it. I bought it online in the right price and I thought I had a fake...
We need a 2023 ver of this fr im afraid to buy online because I'm afraid of buying something fake 😭
Well my racket's code says 29 June this year in South Pacific region and mfg code is F2
Technically saying buy it from an actual store
Bro really got that apple racket 0:05
😂
My sticker is gold and square, should I be worried?
Not necessarily. As long as the code codes are alright, they should be fine
What if the numbers on the racket doesn't look like a date of manufacture but it's laser written? It's still original or not?
No

Absolutely! There's no replacement for a genuine product. The fakes could be anything, its just a paint job at this point.
Is it normal to have the hollogram sticker over the pbsi sticker ????
Extremely normal

How to authenticate if the sunrise sticker is the old one?

Racket has 17118H6SP... Is it acceptable.
So if there is there is number and all in the racket so is it real?
Plenty of fakes have numbers engraved too so its important to check it against the methods I've explained in the video.
My badminton racket no is 230303sp is it genuine? What does "0" mean in the year place ? Is it represents the year 2020? Plz tell me anyone!!!
Depending on the model you have, it could be 2010.
but my rackets have no holographic stickers
Why this sample has logo PBSI from ?
Where you can get the sample ?
Because this is a SP coded racket. Plenty of SP coded racket have PBSI logos on.
I don’t have any sticker on my PBSI logo.. the logo is small and does not peel off.. is it fake ? SP code
Sir i am a state level player and i am confuse between 100zz or 88d pro

Asking this because my racket was stolen....
I’m sorry your racket was stolen but i don’t think serial numbers are recorded during purchase 🙁
Hey CK, just wondering, which country codes have the PBSI logo or not? I've been trying to search it up but I've only seen ones that say its only from ID or ID and SP, or country codes around Asia, got any clue on the specific country codes which do or don't have the PBSI logo?
You are correct in saying ID, IP and SP coded rackets may have PBSI logo. I dont think many other codes have the PBSI logo on
iam from Bangladesh thanks ❤
My South Pacific racket Yonex voltric lite 25i has come without the sunrise holgoram. Rest all things seem to fit in... should I consider returning it?
Sunrise hologram will only exist in sunrise operating countries so if the codes fit then you’re alright 👍🏼
Same happened to me..... Should I return it? Btw I live in india
Hello ko, so i found the scan thing under the original grip, is that a guaranteed original? Cuz my hologram sticker is not that strong as advertised
Generally yes but if you’ve bought it from a reputable seller, it should be fine
@@CKYewThanks, appreciate it! 😁
Sir how can i buy the original visible hologram card ?
I'm not sure if you can buy them but if you go to your nearest Yonex store, they'll have it there 👍
They sell it in Indonesia. Its cost around 7-8 usd. We can buy it from online shop
How to know that racket is real or fake by seeing at the grommet???
Fake rackets have poorly fitted or poor quality grommets. Genuine rackets have well fitted and made grommets.

Yes, Yonex does have rectangle holographic stickers, especially for rackets produced in China
Hello, in my racquet there is SP after the code, but also it says "made in Japan" on the racquet grip. So that's mean the racquet made in Singapore or Japan?
