Simple way to check Wilson racquets, have a hit with it, if the paint starts chipping off then you know it’s genuine!
Isn't that the truth! Both my Clashes peel like an orange. Its discraceful. That "rubber" paint sucks.
lol and the counterfeit ones doesn't chip
I could fart on a racquet and the paint would chip off
Same with my blade 26
This makes me laugh every time I read it, so true.
Hi, Thanks a lot for your videos, enjoyed a lot! Happy new year!
Thanks for the video, didn't know that counterfeit racquets exist. Perhaps you can make a compare to an original one like counterbalance them at the scale or test them on the court with Andrew and Chris
I want a real counterfeit racket, not a fake one.
Exactly!
Exactly! Smh
Could you do a video about tips for stringing stiff strings (like poly), especially using a drop weight stringer it can be challenging. Thank you for your videos!
The most important is how do these rackets play...Most players would not notice any different,with good strings.
Thank you for your hard work this year. Happy new year.
Great video. Learned something today
Really good videos. Can you please do a video about racket weight and what weight people of different levels should be playing with. Thankyou
8:10 You say every grommet looks perfect and centered but the center mark looks quite uncentered according to the grommet drill holes!
I live in China and there are lots of fake racquets. I had a fake Head Speed MP for 20USD. It is so cheap I just had to buy it to see. I found the fake one is extremely head heavy. This makes sense as there are more materials in the head so unless you do a proper balance on the lower beam, you cannot get it head light. So this is the first sign of a fake. Others are well demo. In this video.
I live in China. I’ve got 2 fake Wilson BLX Blade 98s. They feel great and I play with them all the time. Best rackets I’ve ever used. My guess is that the frame is genuine and produced in the same factory. You are definitely right about the butt caps coming loose right away. I had to glue them back on. Also some paint details were the big giveaway that the rackets aren’t genuine.
Great video
6:57 That font is actually from a different Pro Staff, it's the font from the Pro Staff Precision 103 (I don't know if that's the only one with that font, but it's the only one I've seen since it's the one I own)
I have two tuxedo pro staff 97Ls purchased from the same specialty tennis store and they each have a slightly different color tone to them on the white parts. Nothing else to tell them apart and so I always suspected they were from a different factory. Also possible?
Its actually pretty easy to identify fakes once it’s in your hands. One of the biggest giveaways is the weight. Fake racquet are poor quality and usually weigh much much less than the real ones. Also once you start hitting you can sense the fakes ones feel hollow and flimsy.

If you don’t want fakes, don’t buy from EBay. Use your head. Why would anyone sell a RF below price?
Many reasons . Maybe they got it as a gift and Wana get rid of it fast . Maybe they bought it but didn’t like it after a week
maybe it’s used but if it isn’t it most likely might be fake
Hi tennisspin! I bought a Wilson ProStaff 97 V13 315gr, and the only thing that I have found odd is that the red/yellow next to Pro Staff are a little beat curved, have you ever seen one like that? Everything else is fine. Thank you!
Banana yellow aero. lol. Harry really cannot get over it.
Fake rackets are still being made. Didn't know that. About 15 years ago I got a pair of Aero Drive on ebay and then the local stringer told me that they were fake because as soon as the string tension were applied on them, they apparently bent. Then I had to go through the whole process of arguing with the ebay seller for the refund. I lost money on the string jobs though.
I actually bought the pro staff on wish and have been testing it out in March 2020. Biggest giveaway is of course the weight. The difference was around 50 gramm less on the counterfeit racquet compared to the real one. Not gonna lie I loved playing with the counterfeit since it was easier to use and I had way more fun than with the original. It's one of my back up racquet when I have elbow issue with the other racquets.
How about I paint a Walmart racket black and sell it to you for 100. Not gona lie , it will be very light and u will love it
@@Charmander009 haha, you have to go way lower. I only paid around 35 dollars.
I’ve always used cheap tennis rackets as I just play a few times a year but looking to start playing a lot more. I love the Stealth look of the Wilson pro staff and had a feel recently but what’s the difference in the 97 and 103 ? Is it just the size off the face ?
It’s the square inch number of the head
Thank you very much.
i watch so many your video clips. please keep going.llll
If a racket looks perfect but is 50 percent off the original price it’s probably fake
yeah pretty much price
A question for the pro staff 97 blackout. Is there a trademark symbol next to the wilson logo on the neck of the racquet?
I got a v14 ps97. It has a hollow center and a layer of foam or silicon surrounding it after I open the buttcap. Is it authentic?
If you want to ensure you're getting a fake counterfeit, just get it from the manufacturer...
They used to say the hologram was the definitive test. I have rackets with and without holograms. Wilson says, “That’s normal. Not EVERY racket has a hologram.” WTF?
I was gonna buy this used Roland Garros racquet from someone but I realise it's font is at the centre but the official website shows otherwise so here I am.
Important question please. Does the foam below the butt cap tip also apply to cheaper models? I got a cheaper Wilson model (Pro Staff Precision 100) and it passes every test except for the fact that it has some sort of transparent silicon inside the handle when I remove the butt cap. Any feedback would be highly appreciated! Thank you!!
I believe banana yellow aero was $129 about 8 years ago when I bought one.
The serifs on the fake logo are rounded as opposed to sharp
Thaks
Any way to know Head racket authenticity? What would show up when we scan the QR code on real or fake head racket?
I bought a Babolat Pure Aero and I just realized it's fake. It has everything: the paint, color, design, letters, specs, bar code, etc. However, it seems the bar code can't be easily faked. My barcode is not well-placed and it's sticking off. Other than that, it was so difficult to tell, so it's better to compare it next to an original one.
I have a problem with my prostaff rf97 v13 everything is good in what he mentioned. Except for the words painted. It's faded. The name prostaff should be completely white right? In my case it's faded and now I'm bothered. I want to buy a new one.
Hey. Have you figured out if it's fake or not? It's the same thing with my pro staff 97 v13. Everything looks fine except the words pro staff is faded, but the font everything is fine. I want to weigh the racquet. If I can just weigh the it.
I used to get rackets from Dicks and Sports Authority and it wasn’t until my coach held my racket one day that I found out they weren’t the real thing. Like he knew as soon as he picked it up by the weight and material of the racket.
Regarding Wilson quality control: I have bought NINE of the Wilson Two BLX trying to get one to match my very first one. No luck.
Wow....time to switch to Yonex.
@@Siloguy Yonex isn't accurate either. I had several DR98s. All were varying weights and balances. Just be sure it's made japan, doesn't mean QC is great.
With my v12 rf97 the writing is laser etched so i highly doubt the fakes will ever get that feature
v13 are painted now, no longer laser etched like the v11 and v12s
Please make a video on best tennis racquet of 2020
He did i think
Hello I have i Wilson clash 100l that doesn’t have the specs displayed on it is it fake?
Version 1.0 of the clash did not list the specs on the racquet for any of the models be it the 100, 100L, 98, or 107. I’ve owned the 100S, 98, and 108. The new all red V2.0 has the specs listed on the head.
Are fake rackets actually made of graphite, which would require either the fakers having their own autoclaves, or getting hairpins from a genuine manufacturer? Or are they completely made of different materials like fibreglass or platic coated aluminium?
Sometimes they actually have the same frame because they are often made in china, then they put cheap items and paint on it.
There are still fake k90's in the bay.
Why can't Wilson just put a barcode on the racquet itself which can be scanned by customers to verify purchase 🤔
I would be curious to know if the weight of the counterfeited racquet is off. That might be also a good clue.
The weight of the genuine product is frequently off unfortunately
mattblvr1 is correct. Wilson's quality control is so bad the counterfeit ones are probably going to be closer to the intended specs than the real ones 😂🤣
@@JW-bw8nj babolat should be worse
@@gmr2gnr Maybe so, but not in my personal experience. I currently own 6 Babolat Pure Drive Pluses and they're only off 3 grams from the lightest one to the heaviest one. That's pretty good IMO!
They got literally everything wrong. The only way you could fall for it is if you've never seen a real $150+ racket up-close before.
Are there any 'counterfeiters' focusing on making good rackets instead of ripping people off? I know there are Chinese companies that sell carbon bike wheels for $700 each that are comparable to $3k+ wheels from a 'real' brand.
Is v13 and v11 rf97 plays the same or they are different? I didn’t like v12
feels the same, just carbon layout and balance is slightly different, also the handle pallet went from square(v11,v12) to hexagon(v13).
@@j1mster3 so lot of difference...
I was searching RUclips for fake Dunlop Australian Open Tennis Balls. Do you know of any? They come in a teal green can and not the usual Sky Blue and don't have Australian Open printed on the ball.
Which tennis pros use counterfeit rackets 😀
Counterfeiters are getting better all the time. Especially with videos like this, showing them what things to improve...
They will be thanking you after watching this video! 🙄 😐 🤔
the sticker is called a hologram
Will there be a noticeable difference in performance between a counterfeit abs authentic racquet?
Well considering Wilson's quality control is so poor, doesn't even matter? LoL
Depends dude. Honestly a lot of counterfeits are made by the same factory just making more to turn a profit. Serious.
@@jaysean9589 haha
@@Gidoza I mean if you compare a Wilson counterfeit vs a real one you’ll actually see that they have some quality control but as a Head user I fully agree with you
@@jaysean9589 huh I didn’t know that, thanks.
I thought you told us not to buy tennis dampners
As soon as you hit with it you'll know if it's real or fake.
9:58 Hologram
shit i got a fake wilson pro staff, now what do i do.... i played with it for like 2 yrs
carry on with fakes, you might lose money and misshit your favourite crosscourt forehand if you play the original.
I wonder how close does a fake 1 plays...?
it plays different .i played a fake wilson for 2 yrs and now after the vid i realized its a fake. there is some stuf fitted inside the buttcap that makes you feel the racket is nice but you dont get that solid feel of an original. Its not worth it.
but don't get fooled by the 2017 RF97 with its velvety but less black colour. It's the way it is...
All the signs to check you gave requires a person to have already have the racket in person to check. At that point, do you think if you spot a fake, you will be able to return it to an aliexpress type site for your $$ back?
It would be way more valueable if you give tips on how to spot fakes from details on a website. Otherwise, whats the point? U confirm its a fake, but cant get your $$ back? lmao
Hologram
Fake counterfeit or just counterfeit? Boy the fakes must be really bad
Fake counterfeit. So...real?
Nope. An unauthorised copy of the counterfeit. 😁
I thought this video is intentionally played at a 0.25x speed
called a hologram, counterfeit might not have one
emphasis on MIGHT .... Counterfeiters are getting their shit better all the time. Especially with guys like Harry telling them what to improve...
If you can make a fake then just make a real one and start your own company
wish rackets XD
"fake counterfeit"? Don't those two words have the same meaning? 🙄
I wonder if the words "double negative" mean anything to him? ;-)
"... fake, (comma) counterfeit racquet....." Get it?
@@WaltKurtz68 so that means it’s the real racquet? 😂😂😂😂
@@chuckfriebe843 Sure, Chuck. As a matter of fact I'd get one asap if I were you 😉🤣
A fake counterfeit, so, it’s a real legit one then? 😂😂😂. I mean, a counterfeit is fake. A real counterfeit, is... a counterfeit, but a fake counterfeit?!? 😂😂😂😂😂😂
That's half the fun of this channel, Harry butchering the English language
:)
Some fakes are so good that they actually hit as good as real ones. Happy New Year....
play tested my friends and ordered one after that, ps rf97 online from china.planned to string with multi at 53lbs.
"Fake Counterfeit Racket"
So you're telling us how to spot a genuine racket?
😅 He forgot the comma. It should have said "... fake, (comma) counterfeit racquet....."
