Spotting Counterfeits

Yonex USA has become aware of counterfeit Yonex products being sold through unauthorized third-party websites, both domestically and internationally. These counterfeit items often bear the Yonex logo and appear similar to authentic products, which can make them difficult for customers to identify. However, despite the visual similarities, counterfeit products tend to have lower specifications and quality. They may not perform as expected and could potentially pose safety risks, including injury or accidents.

It is important to note that counterfeit products are not eligible for any Yonex USA warranties. Yonex USA cannot vouch for the safety, performance, or quality of these items, and it assumes no responsibility for any harm or damage caused by their use.

To ensure you are purchasing an authentic, high-quality Yonex product, we strongly recommend that you buy from our authorized retailers. If you have any doubts about the authenticity of a product, please contact our customer service team for assistance in verifying its authenticity.

Please be aware that after-sales services, quality guarantees, or compensation for damages are not applicable to products purchased through private sales or from unauthorized sources. This also includes counterfeit products and items without a verifiable purchase history, such as those missing a warranty card indicating the authorized retailer.

One way to distinguish a genuine Yonex product from a counterfeit is by examining the hologram sticker on the product. On authentic Yonex racquets, the hologram sticker is secured with a special adhesive that makes it difficult to peel off. On the other hand, counterfeit racquets feature a sticker that can be easily removed, even with just a fingernail.
