I was excited about this paddle with pretty solid reviews coming with a case. Unfortunately the case came all scuffed up on both sides with some type of mysterious sticky residue.

Ich will nicht in den Chor einstimmen, welcher bis ins kleinste Detail jede Eigenschaft, Vor- und Nachteile beschreibt. Dieser Schläger hat in unserem Verein bei verschiedenen fortgeschrittenen Spielern beim Ausprobieren einen sehr positiven ersten Eindruck hinterlassen, mehr will ich hier nicht sagen.Bei diesem Preis kann man meines Erachtens auch nicht viel Falsch machen, unser wöchentlicher Einkauf im Supermarkt kostet deutlich mehr, da war das finanzielle Risiko durchaus überschaubar. ;)Als Versand nach Griechenland haben wir den etwas teureren Express Aufschlag ausgewählt, dafür wurde der am Nachmittag verschickte Schläger bereits 1 Tag eher als angekündigt per Kurier am darauffolgenden Mittag schon ausgeliefert.

Ottima racchetta ben assemblata e rifinita. È spiccatamente da attacco e bisogna essere sempre aggressivi. Soffre molto contro avversari che sanno usare gli effetti ed in difesa bisogna essere veramente bravi per far restare la pallina sul tavolo, richiede sensibilità e controllo.. Non adatta a principianti, sarebbe sprecata e verrebbe percepita negativamente mentre è assolutamente piacevole qnd se ne apprende il comportamento. Ottimi effetti e spinta della pallina, bisogna quasi limitarsi nell'uso della forza..Attacco 9Difesa 5Effetto 8

I am an intermediate level player. My shot style is highly aggressive with heavy power and spin. I play with both a continental tennis grip and an underhand (knife grip), favoring the former.I have played at an intermediate level for roughly 6 months using the Palio Master 2 paddle with stock rubbers. When I chose the Master 2, I also considered the Legend 2. Due to price alone, I chose the Master 2. Now, having improved my shot style and accuracy, I decided to give the Legend 2 a try.Upon receiving the Legend 2 I was glad to find high quality rubber was used just as on the Master 2. The weight is similar to the Master 2, which puts it on the heavier end of paddles. However, I was quite surprised to find that the foam and rubber is not identical on both sides. The red is hard while the black is soft. When I started hitting, I was unimpressed that my strong forehands were flying off the back of the table while my softer backhands were barely making it to the net. I realized that I was hitting forehands with red and backhands with black, so I switched it up. Immediately, my forehands struck with heavier spin than I had ever produced with the Master 2, allowing me to wallop heavy shots at incredibly sharp angles from the back end of my side. The black side gives you immense spin potential, holding the ball in place until you finish your stroke. On the flip side, my backhand precision improved drastically, creating opportunities off serves to hit untouchable return winners. The ball jumps off the red side, but still retains a large amount of spin if you choose to provide it.Honestly, I love the Legend 2; it is an absolutely fantastic paddle that feels very high quality. I hit shots with this paddle that just make me smile. This paddle honestly feels like it was custom built and tailored to my shot style for a fraction of the price that I would have paid to build it myself. I have reached a point in my play style where my backhand and forehand shots are different enough to warrant using different foam/rubber on each side to better complement my spin/speed. I would give it a 10/5 for value if I could. I do, however, give it a 1/5 for beginners. This paddle requires you to either adapt your playstyle to fit the different shots that come from the forehand and backhand sides, or already have distinctly different shots that take advantage of the sides being different. For someone looking to improve their game at an intermediate level and would like a heavier paddle with good speed, grip, and matching foam/rubber for both sides, go with the Master 2 before trying out the Legend 2. If you are intermediate looking to progress towards advanced/tournament play, the Legend 2 is 100% worth a try.

I had bought a Palio master 2 about 9 months ago and I wanted to try a more advanced paddle and chose the Palio legend 2. It worked well and fit my play style very well and my serves and smashes have more spin and I am able to better deal with shots with lots of backspin because of this paddle.Unfortunately, about 3 weeks after using it the handle cracked in a match. I contacted Palio and they were extremely awesome and offered to replace the paddle and after 2 days I received a new one!I really appreciate a company that supports their products and I give this company and the legend 2 a big thumbs up! Thank you for everything!

The racket has hard rubber, so the dwell time will be low. That said its fast and generates good spin. The transition if from soft rubber is time taking. I have done a bit of research and this is the best out there in pre-made rackets under 6000

I bought this bat to take my game to next level, improve my technique, master different shots. After reading reviews of Palio Expert 2 and Palio Legend 2 bats, I have decided to go with Legend 2 as it is better bat and costing only £10 more. However, after playing few times I have realised that my game is not up to the bat, I am struggling to control the ball. It definitely generates lot of spin and speed. The rating for control is clearly given in the description as 6/10. But I have ignored this after reading few reviews where people said it’s not that difficult. This totally depends on how good your game is. I recommend this bat for players who are pretty confident about their strokes and go to TT clubs to play with others.If you are like me who is not too bad player but still there is a lot of room for improvement in your shots, then probably Expert 2 is a better bat and can switch to Legend 2 at a later stage.Coming to seller TT Trading Co, I am extremely with their service and prompt delivery. They can’t be any better.

The paddle was good but my specific paddle lost its glue at the edge. But I should admit that the customer support is amazing. Even before the paddle arrived, Sam was in touch with me giving me information and assuring that the support team is behind me. After I found the defect, I reached out to Sam and he was extremely helpful and made sure I was taken care.I highly recommend working with Sam and his team at TT Trading Co.

UPDATE: 5 starUpon contacting the seller "TT Trading Co US", they were very helpful and quick in sending a replacement racket. The new racket arrived in a couple days and looks good. The racket itself is of really high quality and is pretty fast, generates great spin with good control. Only time will tell if this one has been assembled well and the rubber won't fade quickly.ORIGINAL: 1 starThis TT racket has a really nice rubber and a solid blade. The grip is alright, it's a little sharp edged, but sanding it down will fix that easily. It loops really well, is pretty fast and generates a lot of spin for me. The quality of play with the racket itself deserves 5 stars. However, within a month of playing with it, the top sheet started to come off the sponger layer underneath, right in the center . First, a small bubble appeared and quickly became a large area where the rubber wasn't touching anything anymore. The quality of assembly must have been very poor and the rubber not glued correctly. This rendered the one side of the racket useless. I've attached pictures of the defect. For a racket of this cost, I expect a much better quality of assembly, and not just great play.

This paddle is amazing!! It comes with the case pictured and the grip is super sticky which is perfect for spins.I would rate myself as a low intermediate player, so this paddle is far too advanced for me. When I get the chance I think I will purchase a lower level paddle so I can control my shots a lot more until Im ready for this again.That being said, if you can control this paddle, it will definitely hold up to your expectations. There have been quite a few times that I surprised myself and the people I play with where I slam a perfect top spin where it barely goes over the net and doesn't give them much room to return it.

When I bought this Paddle I was looking for a Paddle that would suit my strong offensive playing style, right out of the box the rubber is super tacky and puts massive amounts of spin on the ball, since the rubber is super tacky dust and just about everything sticks to it so use the provided case. I would recommend this Paddle to intermediate and pro players but if your a beginner get something cheaper and something with thinner foam because as a beginner it will be super hard to play with it and it will be super hard to control your shots, but if you have the fundementals down and are good with your loops and spins then you will have no trouble and you will fall in love with this Paddle! Also the rubber is removable so when the rubber wears down you can replace it with the rubbers of your choice. Turkey an Amazing Paddle!!!!!!
