would like experts to comment and if not legitimate will return the racket.
there is no sunrise hologram on the cone but there is a strip on the handle which verified fine but then all my other yonex , japan made had the sunrise hologram on the cone which is bothering me. The yonex hologram on the cone is slightly yellowish tone.

Hi. I hope that i'm not doing any mistake, but i think your racket is a fake, going by the cone code.
See picture. 0707

ID. I understand the date as 0707 - 07 July and I strongly think that the next digits should have been 16 (070716ID) as the ID stands for INDIA. Thus I dont understand the "63".

If I take the other logic that the 6 in 0707

3ID stands for the year, this would mean your racket has been manufactured on 07 July 2006 which is very absurd for a Yonex Voltric ZF2.

However, the YONEX logo under the handle looks 100% original.

Someone please help if I am wrong.

no the year is correct as it is most likely a 3rd batch under the following 2016 year but again there are a lot of speculation of what the last # even represents, but the 6 before that 3 is correct. it couldve meant that it was in 2006 or 2016 which in this case it is more likely the 2016 as what youve also said that it's absurd for a vzf2 to even be in the 2006 year as it was released in 2014 for that following model.

genuine

Got back into the game after a 15 year hiatus. Need some help with verification guys. Thanks!
