    Haha, So count yourself lucky:D Some people payed 150$ For a fake and they (the racket) suck :/

    Next time watch out for those "Too good to be true deals" As quoted by ryim_

    If you are not willing to sell a genuine new yonex for a sold price, why would your seller be willing to do so?

    But on the bright side, At least it looks like one and plays good! :D

    Have you tries the BG80 string? Its a great string, good on control, WAY more powerful then the 65 (atleast to me) and it has ok durability.
