Palio Legend 2.0 Table Tennis Racket & Case | ITTF-Approved Advanced Ping Pong Paddle | Maximum Power, Speed & Spin

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.

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.

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.

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 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.

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.
