    If you see some deal like "75% off", mostly it's a fake with tons of headaches later on. Don't believe "hitting jackpot" happen this often. :cool:

    Return it if possible.I guess not,since u should know for the price u paid,it's impossible to get a real NS7000.=P
    However,u've bought it already.So,use it,n this should be a lesson for u if u plan to buy a racket in the future.

    oh, definitely fake...I just bought one exactly like it...today actually! its the highest quality fake out there in the market these days...I've been checking around.

    Im on holiday in China so been looking around. If I'm not mistaken this is one of the best fakes out there...Still an obvious fake appearance wise but quality wise its way better than the others...I say this because I bought 2 different types. A low quality NS9000 and this one. The frame actually bends out of shape when you hit the NS9000 racquet on the carpet. This one doesn't.

    (BTW I'm not promoting fakes in anyway nor am I affiliated with them...just my 2 cents before someone decides to flame me)

    Here are some of my observations about the racquet:
    String is original (racquet is originally unstrung, they do it for u on the spot)...
    Racquet is fake but is really good.
    Sheath is fake, there are at least 3 different types I spotted which range from synthetic leather to the nylon material thingie...

    Before u decide to fork out 50 bucks and buy one off eBay or something I thought you should know the place I bought it from is a wholesale place so the more you buy the cheaper you get. I bought the cheapo NS9000 for just under USD15 and this one for just under USD25.

    This means you're giving the seller a 100% profit...oh and while I was there there was an order for over 20 pieces!!! I dunno about you but I had a feeling it was goin on eBay real soon...I'm pretty sure someone who buys that many probably gets em for under USD15 a piece.

    Oh, it also comes with the extra grommets like a real one (the NS9000 didn't) and and original overgrip (non-Yonex).
