There are many imitations of YONEX equipment found in local market and/or on internet sports sites. Many of them are crude copies that break easily injuring you or causing damage to your surroundings.
Please be careful when you buy products from unofficial stores and sites.
Below are some of the differences between genuine and counterfeit rackets as defined by Yonex on its official website...
No.1 - It’s hard to peel off the hologram sticker
It’s difficult to remove the hologram sticker on genuine racquets due to the special glue used. With counterfeit rackets the hologram sticker is easy to peel off with your nail.
GENUINE YONEX RACKET COUNTERFEIT (STICKER CAN BE EASILY PEELED OFF)
New hologram sticker for genuine products.
No.2 - Check the YONEX logo
The 'YY' device and YONEX logo are printed clearly. The 'O' in YONEX on counterfeit rackets is often wide and round, with a larger space inside the letter.
GENUINE YONEX RACKET COUNTERFEIT (LETTERS OF YONEX ARE NOT CORRECT)
No.3 - Check the production numbers on the racket cap
All genuine rackets have laser engraved production codes on the cap above the handle.
GENUINE YONEX RACkeT (LASER ENGRAVED CODES) COUNTERFEIT (CODES ARE ONLY PRINTED, NOT ENGRAVED)
No.4 - Check the colour of butt cap
If you already have a genuine racket, please compare the butt caps colour. A counterfeit racket will often be a different shade of green, too light or too dark.
GENUINE YONEX RACQUET COUNTERFEIT (GREEN COLOUR IS TOO LIGHT AND LOGO IS THE WRONG SHAPE)
As well as rackets there are many examples of counterfeit clothing, shoes and strings. If the price is remarkably cheap compared to the genuine product then there is a high likelihood that it is counterfeit. Please take extra care when buying YONEX products from internet sites or stores or auctions.
