Just bought a LN N80 back home today, got it at SGD $280 as i was a regular patron of the store, and the boss gave me a discount. Retail price was SGD $380 before the discount. Since the Verification site "www.li-ning.com/fwcx" is no longer in existence, I cant use the Verification code from the Racket's sticker to Verify that my racket is a Genuine. Here are the Pics for LN Experts to have a look. Will respond to requests for more Pics on any specific area of the Racket. Cheers .
I've gotten a NS9900 from that same store a year ago, which is definately Genuine. I dont think he would sell Fake rackets.... However this time round, the $100 Discount raised a brow for me. Playing safe here. The racket came with a Verification code which i have to scratch it off before revealing the code, but the Verification website's gone. Just playing safe
ic... then i think i'm pretty much or less convinced that this racket is a genuine. But god why did LN remove the verification page ?!!?!?!? I still have a 1% doubt that my racket is a fake, due to the verification process removed by Li Ning. Oh god why.
Look real for me you got a bargain...looking to buy 1 at that price too. But very hard to find a bargain of Lining in Malaysia...
Is real, racket looks good , the code is imprinted as well , enjoy ! if it is a fake, the paint job would not be as good as that (quality of paint is slightly different)
If you understand mandarin, you can go to china badminton bbs, I saw a thread there posting review of original LiNing N80 with high resolution picture. you can compare yours and that one to verify again.
They still have the verification page, but only in Chinese http://www.li-ning.com.cn/html/info/li-ning/fwcx/
