Well, as the tittle says it, I need help to determine if the racquet is fake.
What happened is I bought a racquet online, and the guy selling it told me that he could send me pictures so that I could see that it was genuine, but I don't know how to tell.

Here are the pictures he sent me

Any help is greatly apreciated!!
 
i cant be bothered looking at it but im pretty sure its not fake, the racquet is not popular enough nor is it used by a pro, replica manufacturers wont bother making fakes of a racquet that dont sell that well.

Maybe, I just find it very suspicious, it's a very low price, and to top it all off, he's throwing in free shipping.
 
The only thing id say is that the paper displaying the logo and stuff is unusually intercepting the left grommet area, which is unlike when I bought mine. But it looks exactly the same otherwise. Good luck!
 
Looks like it's real one. I barely see fake prince rackets because of the O3 hole and those fake rackets were easy to identify ( too obivious).
I don't know what is the deal but I am not surprised to see $120 shipped or much less for new one (I think I saw one for $120 at one of the local store).
 
To me, it looks real, but then this is the Rebel Team, the lighter version. Also, the bottom grommet and the EXO3 dampener seems to be missing. No big deal, you can buy another grommet if it comes missing.

If you can buy this racket for around $80 to $100, I would say that it is a good deal, but certainly not such a good deal that I would suspect it to be fake.
 
Looks exactly like my GF's racquet. As jmjmkim said, bottom grommets aren't the string grommets like the others, not a huge deal.
Considering reputable websites such as TW are selling graphites/ignites for $130, the rebel team isn't a hugely popular racquet so I wouldn't be surprised to find it on the lower end of the price radius
 
Memo to all of you. The auction sites selling rackets for less than dealer cost (I own a shop) are selling fakes. ALWAYS. The Rebel team is not discounted on TW and when the price is too good to be true then it is FAKE. If you want an underweighted flimsy copy of the genuine racket (with no 1 year warranty!) go for it. Otherwise, buy from TW or your local retailer.

i dont think you know what your talking about because im pretty sure they are on sale on twe ...
+ the chance of a replica racquet manufacturer making a fake of a racquet which is not extremely popular is pointless, check the fake chinese racquet sellers, aeros, pure drives, six one tours...
 
Both Rebels (95 and the Team) are continuing into next season. The Graphites and Ignites are not - that's why they're discounted.

The Team is not on sale at TW.

I have to say, the racquet looks real, but the throat grommet is missing and it looks like the packaging piece in the center of the racquet was removed, then put back on in some way.

That's problem now a days.. You can't sell thing cheap any more.. If you sell it cheap, the first thing buyer think it's fake.. If you sell it's high none buy it.. lose and lose situation..
