Looking to buy a Wilson nSix One, this guide will help.

Many people buy nsix ones without even knowing that they had bought a fake.

Rule Number 1: Buy Nationally
If you buy from China or other countries, you stand a high risk of getting ripped of and losing your money for some plastic that will hurt your hand.

Some sellers sell fake rackets, when a customer finds out that they had bought a fake racket, they ask for a refund. But the seller says, if you leave positive feedback, then i will refund your racket.
This is how he has such high feedback.

Rule Number 2: Ask them

The Following Shows Exactly what a GENUINE RACQUET would have:
Ask the seller for the serial number on the hologram sticker (if it has one) and then send an email to wilson

If you Already have bought the racket, look for the following:

• Check the Specifications of the racquet with the one on a genuine retailer, make sure that they match. Note, the weight can differ if you are looking at Strung Weight and Unstrung Weight.
  
• A Red Dot in the middle of the PS at the top of the racket

• The Wilson Hologram
  If you remove the Wilson Hologram. You will notice that it says "NOT FOR RESALE". If it does say that, then the racquet is most likely genuine. Also note that MOST FAKE RACQUETS HAVE THE WILSON HOLOGRAM, so don't be fooled.

• Check For any paint defects, the overall paint should not be glossy
  nSix One Team - Silver PS at the top of the racquet

         nSix One 95 - Yellow PS at the top of the racquet

• Check the string pattern
  nSix One Team - 18 mains and 20 Crosses (Silver PS)
  nSix One 95 16 x 18 - 16 mains and 20 Crosses (Yellow PS)
  nSix One 95 18 x 20 - 18 mains and 20 Crosses (Yellow PS)
  
• Check the Balance 
  Balance the racquet with your index finger at the place where it says "wilson" on the throat of the racquet. If the racquets head is heavier, then it is fake. If the handle's side is heavier, then your one step closer to the real thing.

• Count the Holes in different parts of the racquet and compare it to the real picture.
  
  
  
• Grip Size
  Genuine Racquets will have the Grip Size Sticker. If your racquet doesn't, this means that it is counterfeit.
  
  
• Barcode
  If you purchased your racquet brand new, it should have the barcode on the grip. Note that counterfeit racquets do not come with barcodes. This means that the racquet is most likely a fake.

Fake racquets are mostly from sellers in china, and the majority of nsix one's on ebay are fake. If requested, i can assist in your purchase.

Also if the price of an nsix one is TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE, its definately not true. So don't be fooled, and don't buy from China.

Avoid Sellers like yundongshangcheng and yundongtiandi, and avoid all sellers from china, unless they can prove that it is real.

If you have found a fake racquet, immediatly return it or report it to ebay. http://pages.ebay.com.au/help/policies/replica-counterfeit.html

I hope i helped.
