This one. As far as I've researched it, it's the region code for The Netherlands ( Dutch / DU) and Northern Belgium? Many of the rackets being sold here in Saudi Arabia have that country/region code. I was under the impression that it might also stand for Dubai?
The region code for the Netherlands and Belgium is BX. I think DU is for dubai Verstuurd vanaf mijn LG-D855 met Tapatalk
I have 2 ZFII LD edition racquets, both in 4UG5. One is CD coded and the other is SP coded. The SP racquet is less head heavy, by a few mm. The graphics on the CD coded racquet feels smooth and even while the edges of the decals are much sharper on the SP version. Stiffness and overall weight are similar.
Minor differences will be present among identical rackets. Nothing to worry about as long as they've been purchased from a reputable store.
Awesome. It was my first thought, but then I didn't know why would we even have a code lol Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
I guess it is more like a new system code for regional distributions. From what I understand, they only had a handful sole distributors, and sub-distribute their products to other countries, but it looks like Yonex Japan are dealing with their regional offices directly rather than through these super-distributors.
Yonex has changed their JP coded rackets to be XF as of April 2017. http://shuttle-house.com/en/Shop/jpcode-info.php @kwun, please go ahead and make this change.
I can't seem to see the point how changing JP to XP would distinguish a fake from a genuine one. Up until now, YONEX hasn't fixed their year numbering well. And they should also come out with a bit more updated tips on how to spot a fake yonex
Just bought an XF coded Z-Force II to add to my JP coded one. The weight, ready to play is 96.4g, where my old JP version is 96.3g. Balance points are within 1mm of each other. Coincidence? I'm starting to believe that JP/XF coded magical quality control.
Current Japan racquets are no longer XF coded but just a string of numbers. First batch to see the change had XF replaced with the numbers 78 (also shown on your website link). However, it seems this is no longer a permanent code as October batches are now showing 68. Japan racquets should show XF from April 2017, 68 starting July 2017 and 78 as of October 2017 ie. first batch cone codes of each are: xx047xXF, xx077x78, xx107x68 China had switched to A4 since the release of the AX77
Interesting they updated XF to 78 now. I have not checked the link since of my original post when it was changed to XF at the time.
