    Hm... Will the racket transform during play? To a mini-bot and start smacking your opponent? :eek:

    Where are these in relation to the other Victor lines? e.g. how do they compare with the BS and SW series?

    According to the Victor Taiwan website, these models are made in Taiwan so they should be at the top of the range along with the likes of the BS and SW series.

    By the way the bumblebee racquets come with a limited edition cloth bag.
