Hello, so I've been searching for a lot of rackets, and ended up deciding to get the Ezone 100 2020/21 model.

Some time ago I was looking for a Pure Aero and one of the sellers I was looking at send me a video, I posted here and people adviced me it was fake (specially because the groomets were odd).

Now, would you know if this Ezone is/looks real, and if, from these pictures and video, should I be aware of something about it:


Thanks a lot in advance

Too bad they don't have more shots of the shaft of the racquet, as Yonex uses a small holographic decal to verify authenticity. Not sure where or what country you're buying your racquets from, but as a Yonex EZT user, that looks like the real thing. If it's a fake, they spent a lot of time and effort getting the details I can see right.

it looks like there is some "sparkle" in the darker blue paint on the racquet in question. does the original have that?

Yes, the darker blue paint has some metallic sparkle if you look closely. Get them to send you some shots of the base of the shaft (near the handle) to see the serial numbers and the oval shaped holographic sticker that Yonex uses on their Japanese produced frames.

These images are really low-res. Japan manufactured Yonex racquets have immaculate paint job, especially when you look at the precise text alignment, and the text sharpness.

99.9% real, to fake it that good would be much too expensive. In most cases you can see it in almost every little part, they don't even fake a stupid buttcap correctly. Often the mold is completely different, while this is 100 % Ezone, and they most probably wouldn't have the correctly colored throat grommets, for example.
