The Palio Macro is a 5-ply all-wood blade constructed with 5-ply wood. With a lower stiffness rating of 4/10, this blade offers excellent dwell time — the ball stays on the paddle longer, allowing you to generate heavy spin on loops and feel the ball 'load up' before release. This makes it forgiving for developing technique. The speed rating of 7/10 offers enough pace for offensive play while the 8.5/10 control score keeps the ball manageable. This balance makes it suitable for players who attack but still need reliability in rallies. At just 80-85g, this blade is relatively light, making it easy to maneuver and quick on transitions — ideal for players who value hand speed over raw power. This blade is best suited for allround players who mix offense and defense, defensive choppers who need control, and is recommended for intermediate level players.
