    is it due to the cone code starts with "6"? which is not logically reflects the manufactured date..

    besides this code, the rest are seemed very near to ori made, especially the hologram sticker, laser engraved code quality, and bottom cap's color.. -_-"

    It's because it doesn't match the date, there's no 62 day and no month 18.

    yes it is, it is the easiest method to check whether the racket fake or not.. so why did you buy it if you know it is fake?

    fake maker will aim for better cosmetic because that's all they can do, but the inside is different
    hologram sticker, laser engraved code quality, butt cap colour, all of them can help you if this was 2009/2010, there is NO fake maker will fall to these 3 anymore.

    your last line of defense most likely is the cone code and shaft serial, plus some mistakes that they keep on doing, most likely since they cannot make it 100% the same as the genuine one (or Yonex can sue them) or they are just being ignorant

    this one looks good :)

    should be fine

    ugh.. this one is a tough one, a very very close FAKE
    the only reason why I checked it in detail is because it is a JP racket (I should make a rule to include picts on JP rackets.. really, they are the most annoying one out of all, pictures will help a lot in case of old fake JP racket)

    the closest one I can get is leehsim;s post

    let me explain it:
    shaft serial is one of a kind number that shows this is racket number XXXth that Yonex make. it will move forward for example, once it reach 9000000 the next racket will have number 9000001, then next 9000002, etc

    cone code is the date when the racket is being made for example 171282SP (day 17, month 12 (december) 2008 for Singapore distribution)

    now, in leeshim's post
    cone code 131092BX (day 13, month 10, 2009 for benelux distribution)
    shaft serial: 8808315

    your's:
    cone code: 181093JP (day 18, month 10, 2009, for Japan distribution area)
    shaft serial: 8764305

    see anything wrong here?
    yes your date is later, but your shaft serial is earlier, it is impossible therefore it is a fake racket

    and maybe now you know why the shop is closed? ;)
