THE NEWEST BABOLAT FAKES ARE EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO DISTINGUISH FROM REAL RACQUETS.THE CHINESE(AS WITH THE ROLEX)ONCE THERE IS ENOUGH MONEY IN IT CREATE IDENTICAL RACQUETS,UNTIL YOU HIT WITH THEM OR GET THEM STRUNG--THEN THE PROBLEMS ARISE..

YOU CANNOT JUDGE WETHER A RACQUET IS FAKE OR NOT BY LISTING PICTURES,STICKERS,HOLOGRAMS OR BAR CODES..

LOOK AT THE SELLER,FEEDBACK AND TIME IN BUSINESS AS A MEASURE OF AUTHENTICITY.

ALTHOUGH IMITATION IS THE BEST FORM OF FLATTERY THERE RECENTLY WAS A SELLER WHO PUBLISHED GUIDES SIMILIAR TO MINE WHO9 IS SELLING COUNTERFEITS.THIS(INCLUDING HARASSING ME) IS HOW DESPERATE THESE COUNTERFEITORS ARE GETTING!!
