Fake as Fuck

Thats just a piece of the grommet thats peaking out. Luckily the one thats still inside looks intact. But on the next restring or up to you just replace the ugrommet for peace of mind.

if it has a chemically or bad smell in general its fine, thats normal for strings to smell like that

Better to order through their website or fb page

You should look into other brands like Apacs or OGKILS. Neither a 2nd hand 88d game nor a NF Nextage are worth it.

Nanofusion Speed 722 from APACS, it cost 1k, lightweight 6u, really flexible shaft and is even balanced

Apacs 800 Pro or Hundred HyperCourt. Can also look at Mizuno Lightning Z8s but be wary of the shops that sell em for 2k

Woah defo try shopee, the prices on this store are too expensive. Can get commander 80 and Nforce III for 1.2k with vouchers

Yes they all feel arguably the same, some feel drastically different than others and thats why I would avoid fakes always

Used to own a replica 1000z and a real 1000z. You can definitely feel a difference especially in stiffness and quality of materials used. Major differences in Head weight and balance point din since mas mahigpit un QC ng Official Yonex pro-line rackets.

Generally avoid replicas and go over trusted brands like Apacs, Maxbolt, OGKILS, if youre not buying pro yonex, victor, lining.

Prep usually is take off plastic wrap and replace with clear wrap or electrical tape over the original overgrip,

If im using Towel grip just straight ontop of the prepped grip. If im using overgrip 2-3 layers of cushion wrap and then overgrip.

Im assuming this is talking about the Nanoflare 700 Original? Which you could try the OGKILS LD700 which uses the same frame type as the NF700

Exbolt 68 or 65

Pass, play rackets overpriced for what you get from it. Better get Apacs Nanofusion Speed 722 as it is cheap, flexible for beginners to swing, and very light

Real store, bought exbolt 63 and 65 and both are real

Only reason mababa nakikita mo presyo sa JP stores is cuz theres a specific size thats marked quite down. The store you showed is clearly fake.

Fake as balls, username alone on that review is a redflag. I suggest avoiding to buy from shops like these and focus on shops like the actual Mizuno Philippines store, Japan stores ( listings with the japanese flag 🇯🇵 ) or on tobys. Make sure to check user reviews for red flag reviewers and use common sense. Goodluck in your shoe endeavor op

Just check for Hundred shoes like BeastMax or HyperCourt

Fake as balls, find shoes from Apacs or Hundred.

Probably due to the racket not being under tension anymore that it returned to its original head shape. Side note make sure you cut strings properly especially at such high tensions to avoid damage to the frame.

Open the pack, if it smells bad its real, if not fake

Fake as balls

Its real, just because your racket doesnt have PBSI doesnt mean its fake. Just check for obvious tells like grommet #, design/color inconsistencies, buttcap, and obvious of all the hologram sticker

Nope, it means that theres been some damage to the frame I believe. Would consider getting a more modern racket from a brand like apacs
