My coach recently told me that he got a Nanospeed 9900 this year from another coach for 120 dollars. Which is a steal as Nanospeed 9900 are hard to get now.. but the problem with the racket he bought is JP coded, which are commonly seen on fakes. Please let me know as soon as possible whether or not it is genuine or not. TBH looking at it first hand.. it looks fake. But I want to re-confirm with your opinions. Please do let me know if you need clearer pictures. Thank you.

Possibly fake. 1. On the production code on the cone of the racket, looks very off/odd to me... the first four digits show the date and months of production... yours written the date of 20, and months of 88,,, there is no month 88. 2. The writing/font of the 3U spec on the cone is a bit off for me...
Thank you for pointing this out. I didn't even look at the serial code on the cone x2 before posting! Yeah looking at the code now (despite watching @ckyew 's video of genuine yonex rackets) can reassure that this is indeed a fake. Thanks @ojayz & @Marlboro for sharing your thoughts!
Yep, wrong font and the wrong shape of holographic sticker too. Made in Japan and Taiwan Yonex rackets have oval-shaped holographic stickers. Only made in China rackets have rectangle holographic stickers.
