    this is the how to find a fake or not

    Please be careful to logos. Some parts of "O" are the form that width is wide, and a corner is almost a circle, and it is a characteristic that some hollow parts of "O" become wide.

    An imitation is print, and, as for the serial number, a genuine article becomes a carved seal. You can confirm it when you trace it by a nail.

    judging by price alone, there's a good chance they're fake. also in his pics for AT 700 & 800 i can't seem to find the special gromets.

    at700

    hello, short time ago I bought an at700 at ebay. the serial numbers are ok, but I am not sure about two things: first, does the at700 also have a triangle between the O and the R of armortec? second, is the mistake of the lines at 700 a sign for a fake. or can this happen?

    You can find the little triangle between O and R in the original one and also the fake one.

    I don't know about the mistake line. But just logical thinking :
    Shall Yonex allow the mistake line pass through the QC ?
