    Hey, does anyone know if this actually is for release in China only, or whether it's available elsewhere??

    I was told by E78, Hong Kong, the stocks will arrive in April for them. Well, I got this two months early then from another source :p:D.

    My initial experience so far for this racquet is it is indeed a powerful racquet. String used is BG66UM at 31 lbs. Drives and smashes are crisp and responsive. It is head heavy and stiff as stated in the specs. My responses and speed are not as fast to quick reaction shots.

    Overall, the racquet looks really good and quality and furnish is top notch.

    nice one....oval frame, slim and looks sexy :D
    Emm the frame looks slim to me and its not fast enough (swing) to you? Can you compare it to BS 10 or NS9900 in term of speed? Thx before :D

    Yes, it is optometric, slightly oval similar to Bumblebee series. I have no experience with the BS10 but it is slower than the NS9900 (both for 2U and 3U). I suspect it is slower than the BS10 also from what I recall holding and swinging the BS10 at Chris' store. Maybe, Susanto can confirm this.

    I am sure you will be getting yours soon or you have got it already ;):p.

    Nice photos.

    Based on the photos, the frame profile looks similar to the Victor Z-3000 (formerly known as the ZhaoJianhua3000) imho.

    The latest racquet here is still the Spira 21 also ;). The Bumblebee is not counted as Chris only brought in 4 pcs and that was not the usual Victor shipment.

    one very serious question, If Victor seriously wanna kick Yonex or Li Ning's butts,
    they should have launch their products faster and in numbers...we heard of Spira 22
    for ages, Bumblebee raised my curiousity to the max...and now no more news about it
    and now X80, Meteor, Legend...I think it will take ages to reach our shore...considering
    SP 22 not here yet....

    and yes, I did come to SG few times for business but the few nights spent drinking booze...:D:D hopefully soon, I can play badminton outside of Malaysia for the first time :eek::eek: in SG

    No to mention: worldwide ;). Spira21 is not even available in Europe and won't be. Perhaps not liked by the importers already ...

    Thx for the Legend pics Aramis T, looking quite tempting :p.
