Palio Expert 2.0 ITTF Approved Flared Beginner Ping Pong, Paddle Wood Table Tennis Racquet & Case

Excellent control and spin. I did a good amount of research on the internet on what bat to buy. I am a beginner and i don't play so good. i am still learning but this bat has given me some good control and confidence in my stroke making. This is not a fast bat so don't expect the ball to fly of your bat after you hit it. Instead this is a very good beginner to intermediate level professional TT bat which you can even use at tournaments.Some of my friends who aremuch better at table tennis than me and who use custom bats used it for a game and they were really astounded by the amount of control and spin they generated in their shots. The rubber quality and the padding on these bats are top notch.If you;re looking to invest in a good bat and learn overtime as you play look no forward than Palio Expert 2. Trust me i was in the same confusion of should i go with Stiga or GKI or Donic but in the end i am glad i purchased Palio. Cheers!

Good bat imparting decent control and spin. A definite notable upgrade when you need to take your game to the next level

I was an intermediate player during my school days.At present working as a lecturer and we group of some lecturers play tt in our college.Initially I was using stag ninja fire but it lacked control.So I decided to move on from this racket and started searching for the racket which can give all round performance.So my searching stopped here.It took me 3 days to adjust with racket (thanks to my coach who trained during my school days).Now the control is much much better.Speed is good.Spin is better.Control is best.However no racket in this world can be consider best as it depends on the player's style which suits him/her accordingly.It suits me very well and I am very confident with my shots.May be some people find the sound odd as when ball hit the bat but one can be used to with it.Thanks to Mellonta Sports as they also mailed me personally and informed that rubbers can be changed with this ply.However rubbers used are of very good quality and it seems that they will last longer.

Worst grip: it's rounded and slippery. Pretty odd by its nature.Rubber: Too thin. Not at all bouncing. It's says control:10/10 but it's 1/10.Do Not Buy. One thing I learnt it expencive does not mean it's good.Go for GKI EuroV or XX... It's much better in all way possible.FYI: My game may not be pro level, but it is good enough to judge the bat.

Delivered on 09 Feb and have been using it for clise to a month.Played TT after almost 40 years but I must say this racket brought back my long lost touch in the past month.Inspires great confidence due to the fine quality of rubber on both sides. Very tacky and imparts good spin and controlAm truly happy...five star product

Good racquet. It makes a slightly different kind of sound though vs regular spongy racquets. So the feel is a bit different than what I am used to.

I believe its one of the nicest racquets for begginers and intermefiate players. Pretty light but effective blade, good grip, nice rubber...all this translates into good speed and and great control. Slightly higher level of spin could be better but nonetheless a very good buy.

Racquet Side protection sticker width has to be increased so that the rubber peel off can be avoided to a greater extend...
