Is this yonex 100 racquet fake?

Hello guys, these engravings seem a little off to me, could this racquet be fake?

Everything looks legit. They probably just changed the style of the etchings at the factory. Did you purchase from an authorized Yonex dealer?

it is a famous store I usually purchase from, my last Yonex had Country initials at the end, this one does not, this is weird

Weird.
A lot of these engravings and numbers were used to spot counterfeits in the past.
Does anyone else that bought Yonex rackets right about now, noticed these changes?

there was someone else who posted their black ez98 with the same engraving format. it looks like yonex is doing away with the country specific serial numbers
the 4 blue ez98s i received last month all had the older format

If it’s from a trusted store it should be fine. If you’re really still concerned, ask Yonex not this board.

What string would you recommend for vcore 100?

If Yonex is no longer putting country of origin on the racket, do you think they may be gearing up for getting their rackets made in China? Could be..

i thought the codes were for the region the racquet would be exported to rather than the country of origin.

Yeah, they were the region they were sold in. Not where they were produced. Most of mine say US on them, but Yonex isn't producing anything in the US.
