I 100% agree, it's REAL
- half of the racket is shiny half is matte
- barcode inside throat
- "GT Technology" is not shiny

3 reasons it's not fake...

close thread

Where did you buy your APD? It would help if you'll be able to post more pictures.

I have a question for the people who can tell a fake is a fake. Can't you tell by how it plays, or is it just going to be prone to breaking off a mishit.

if you bought it from a local store then I dont understand your paranoia of the racket being fake? and how I know its legit is by the Graphite Tungsten (GT). You can clearly see its there. As you can see the metal pieces in the GT are different sizes and angled differently (signs of an authentic babolat). Fake babolats are painted on and the metal pieces are straight and the same size.

So as I said before, no need to worry and enjoy your racket.

I'm really sorry for the triple post,
but I need to ask.
In all of the APDGTs the little lines are align the same way ?
because mine is a little different from the picture in TW . . .
