    Hmmmmm, as much as that could be a good price for lots of AS-50s, I wouldn't risk $1200 of my money on them. Fake shuttles seem to be rare at the moment but I still don't think I'd take a risk with such a large amount of money.

    drifit, I wonder what's rare about that Arc10? Fake Arc10s are very common and real Arc10s aren't exactly hard to come by. <I was going to try and post something funny here about why the fake Arc10 we just looked at was rare but I couldn't come up with anything :rolleyes:>

    I read several threads about an ebay seller called racquet_sports but some say racquet-sports and both are a seller on ebay, so my question is which one is the authentic seller?

    they both seem to be from Malyasia as well but im guessing the one with an underscore is the authentic dealer but can always use a verification

    I'm not a professional at this but i believe yonex makes or uses new technology (according to them) or material first with the racquets then other companies copy them. APACS has many copies of yonex racquets (edgesaber = arcsaber, nano pro = nano speed, etc) but they also has their own line of racquets.
    There is a racquet comparison guide by dinkalot somewhere, which you should check out.

    With so many racquets from all types of companies, a comparison would have to be done with each racquet and results will always vary among everyone.

    As for which company is better, I'd say Yonex is just a better known name among badminton players and thus a more popular choice because of better marketing. But that doesn't mean APAC is a bad company, just less known by badminton players.

    Hope that helps but remember I'm not a pro at this and this is just what I think.

    What? Mine? sorry, I was in a rush to get out. I recommend you message the seller and ask for the cone code and shaft serial and then when they tell you, we'll have a better chance of telling you whether it's real or fake, it's hard to tell from just one picture.

    Hi Danstevens, no no, it's Demolidor said to check feedback, I was just saying that the feedback can't really tell whether it's genuine. I am waiting for the serial.

    The code on the cone represents the date the racquet was made. If it is a fake, the code will sometimes be wrong and be a clue as whether it is real or not.

    After postage it's about normal price. But it's probably best if you buy it from a legit shop since there's no guaranty if it's real or fake.
