How do you identify a PT57A and H22?

[WilPro]

I seen lately many adverts, and was wondering how do you correctly identify what is it they sell?

Thanks a lot.

First of all there are shops painting radical MPs into H22s and Prestige MP into newer paint jobs and sell them as PT57a.

h22 has a wider throat than PT and its beam is 22mm vs 20 on a PT.

The situation is like this. I go to the e(vil)Bay website and see a ton of ads where people claim this is PT57A. How do I know it really is?

I read somewhere that in the case of PT57A you have to take off the grip, the overgrip and the pellets to see what is on the hair pin. There should be some sticker or something that correctly identifies it. Other than that, while buying from the web I guess there isn't much you can do. right?

About H22 I know nothing.

Right. Like I mentioned before there are so many fakes and people at the factory know they can make a quick buck painting radicals and prestiges as they still have the molds. Playability is next to none.

There is only one factory making PT57A. I don’t think you know what you’re talking about. Also the Radical bumblebee is PT57A and the Pro Tour 630/280 is PT57A. So there you go.
