(2) Judging intuitively according to the production characteristics of yonex.
Authentic yonex badminton rackets are made of exquisite materials, with clear printing. The thread holes and rubber particles are formed by injection molding, and the ends are chamfered at 30~45 degrees, with more than one full racket sleeve, which is soft to the touch. In recent years, the factory number (steel number) has been engraved on the conical surface and racket shaft of badminton racket handle.
The difference between copying Yonex:
Generally, counterfeit products are rough in material, blurred and distorted in printing (
③ Details to identify the authenticity of yonex.
1. Look at the overall appearance: the original badminton racket shaft and racket frame are bright and flat, and English characters, icons and other symbols are clear and tidy; However, the fake badminton racket is not as good as the original badminton racket in all aspects, especially the shield-shaped PBSI logo on the handle, which is far from being clearly visible. In addition, the factory number (commonly known as steel number) is engraved on the symmetrical plane or the racket shaft of the original feather racket handle PBSI logo, and the newer original feather racket handle and racket shaft adopt the advanced photoetching steel number which is not easy to forge (double steel number: the number on the racket shaft is the product serial number, and each racket is different; The number on the handle is the product batch number, which is the same as the batch product batch number), as shown in the figure below; Most fake feather bats don't have factory numbers. (Please note: non-SP feather bats, such as TW and HK feather bats, may not have shield-shaped PBSI logo on the conical surface of the handle. )
2. Look at the rubber particles of the thread hole: After the original rubber particles of the thread hole are put into the racket frame, the inner end is not cut, and basically different sizes of rubber particles are used in different positions. The colloidal particles of the thread hole are injected by a mold, and the two ends are chamfered at 30~45 degrees. At the position where the middle and high-grade racket frame crosses the hard horizontal line, the rubber particles in the thread holes inside the badminton racket frame are V-shaped; However, the rubber particles of the fake feather racket are usually cut after being installed, and the rubber particles of the same size are basically used in different positions, and the ends of the rubber particles are flat without chamfering.
3. Look at the handle glue: the original feather handle glue is thin and soft, evenly wound, flat and stable; The rubber of the handle of the fake badminton racket is thick and slippery, which is easy to loosen and slip, and it will be broken soon after use.
4. Lithography steel number: advanced laser technology is used to engrave the factory number that is difficult to forge on the racket shaft and taper handle of YONEX badminton (commonly known as double steel number: the number on the racket shaft is the serial number of the product, and each racket is different; The number on the handle is the product batch number, and the same batch of products has the same batch number), but most fake badminton rackets have no photoetching steel number, some are printed fake steel numbers (please be sure to identify them carefully), and some fake rackets also have steel numbers, but carefully distinguish that their fonts, heights, widths and densities are different from the real ones. It is best for unfamiliar golfers to bring a real racket for on-site comparison. Please note that the early YONEX badminton racket only pressed the deeper and thicker product batch number (commonly known as single steel number) on the tapered handle.
5. Look at the back cover of the racket handle: the colors around the Japanese letters on the back cover of the original feather racket handle are uniform; On the other hand, the Japanese letters on the back cover of the fake feather racket handle can see long white marks, which are rough.
6. Ball sleeve: the original feather sleeve has various styles, and different agents have different feather sleeves, which are soft to the touch. Some YY or YONEX trademarks outside the feather sleeve are also computerized embroidery; But there are differences between fake badminton rackets and various types of rackets.
