Fake Babolat AeroPro Drive Original? or QC

To add on,

The racket plays good, I have 4 other Aeropro Originals and it feels more or less the same as the rest. Also, the weight and balance is normal. Is this just a case of bad quality control?

Well you probably already know Babolat’s QC is up there with the rest besides their own VS line duo pack and ofc Yonex.

But that frame looks legit. I have 3 others from my junior years but all of them have the ‘Aero A’ at the bottom of the throat so my guess is poor quality control. Another factor is, that one might be a 2004 production (when it came out) cause I remember getting mine in 2005.
 
It plays legit. But my skepticality comes from the “Conquest” string recommendation as well as the poor “center” divider inside the trap door. All my other Originals have “Hurricane” suggested as well as better craftsmanship inside the trap door.

The lack of “A” is because it is an early model before they added that touch

It looks legit to me. The fakes I see as someone who lives in China are much worse, haven't seen an APDO fake this good so you should be good.
