Cut-price stringers

Purpose for this article is educate the players who favour the ever cheaper restringing jobs. For instance, some one posted online for the following advertisement.




Good price, yes?

Only catch is you can not buy the REAL Yonex BG66 and NBG99 below SGD$10 per packet. Even if you did manage to buy geniune Yonex strings overseas, the cost inclusive of shipping would be more than SGD$10per packet.

You can visit the Yonex Global website to verify the actual cost for yourself. Yonex products are like Apple and Samsung - prices are control on a world wide basis. 

Hence I believe such advertiser(s) are using fake products. If you search Aliexpress (and the alike) you can find many such fake reels of Yonex strings for below USD30!

Silly thing is many actually believe they are getting the real deal! 

If you call the local Yonex agent, to try to buy their items in bulk, the agent will not sell to you unless you own a sports sport and is a proper registered business.

Bottom line is  - You get what you paid for!
