    ---->8---- cut here (include this line) ---->8----
    racket model: Yonex Nanospeed 9900
    shaft serial: 7555260
    cone code : 220662TW
    source : ebay (yyyonexfan)
    price : US$164.49 + $28 shipping
    ---->8---- cut here (include this line) ---->8----

    Got this with 2 day shipping to US from yyyonexfan on ebay (item link). Seller is supposed to have good reputation but I was surprised and worried to see a year code 6. I thought NS9900 has been discontinued long ago. But according to this thread, looks like it could be legit?

    I want to place order for two rackets as per specification below:

    1. Product: Voltric Lin Dan Force 2016 JP coded
    Grip Size: G5
    String: Yonex BG80 Power JP; White
    Tension: 26 lbs
    Weight: 3U

    Where can I get the JP coded rackets from? I tried shuttle-house and squash_mart but one doesn't have it and the later does not keep limited edition items. MBS also does not have this in stock.

    Can anyone recommend other online retailers which sell genuine yonex rackets online?

    You can probably try inquiring here:https://global.rakuten.com/en/store/pronet-sports/item/vtld-f-560/
    They might have what you're looking for I'm guessing because they're a japanese store.

    Dear members of BadmintonCentral,

    I was looking at a local listing today and saw a Yonex Voltric Lin Dan Force that baffles me, so I'm looking for some assistance here. Thanks!

    Here are pictures being posted on the listing...

    Although, the pictures weren't really clear (resolution wise) and the racket cover was a Duora series cover but this image below...
    White stripes on the same side (upper left and lower left corners), instead of being diagonally opposite (upper left and lower right corner).

    Could this be a misprint or is it an ouright fake? Thanks!

    That whole color scheme is completely messed up. Do you really think that such a misprint would pass QC and find its way into the official market? Come on mate, get serious. That thing is fake as fake can be.

    Pray and hope that no one would fall for this listing. Thanks for taking a look and letting me confirm my thoughts, s_mair!

    But that's what I don't understand. Why would anyone fake a racket but not making it look "exactly" as the genuine ones? Did someone do that deliberately just to say "catch me if you can"!!!??? I can understand quality might be inferior but the look...???

    Could they have been brand genuine, but specifically made, and sold, in some "cheaper" countries or something?

    It's simply a lousy attempt to make some big bucks from unsuspecting consumers.

    Recently broke my Voltric 80 3UG4 and been pining for a new one since.

    Bought a Lin Dan Force 2017 version thinking it would be a good replacement for the Voltric 80, but the lighter head compared to the VT80 is causing my shoulder issues.

    I'm chasing a Voltric 80 (original, not e-tune), specifically a 3UG4 version. I've tried a 3UG5 version and it feels too small in my hand, even if I build up the grip.

    Everywhere I've looked only has the 3UG5 version, or they have the 3UG4 for an exhorbitant price ($279 USD+).

    Does anyone know where you can find a VT80 3UG4 for a reasonable price online? I'm located in Australia.

    Can anyone please help if this seller is selling a legit racket? I'm interested in buying 1 or possibly 2 rackets with them. What I found odd is that this seller is shipping the rackets from Walnut Creek, CA. I sent a message to them asking about the store name so that I can check it on Yonex's website. They replied me claiming that they are an authorized Yonex distributor in Asia but they mainly do wholesale. When I asked about the store name, they said they can't disclose it because of the Yonex distribution restrictions and the fact that they're selling below MSRP here in the US. However, they assured me that they're an authorized wholesaler and they also claimed that they have operations in Malaysia, Singapore India, Indonesia, and Hong Kong.

    Seller: https://www.ebay.com/usr/somevoter?ul_noapp=true

    Thanks!

    I bought shuttles from them before, never bought racquets but they seem to sell real stuff. Don't expect them to be US coded tho, most of their stuff are TW Yonex code so it's cheaper

    i have bought from them before.

    they're SP distributors with authentic legitimate products. buy with confidence is my recommendation.

    thank you for the reply everyone.

    one more question, what about this seller?

    they also have the racket that i'm looking for and they offer free shipping to the US, making their racket cheaper than if i buy locally

    thanks!

    edit:
    forgot to attach the seller's ebay link
