Palio 5Q Sound

Palio 5Q Sound (AN) is a well-made blade with a decent overall feel. It is flexible, yet moderately stiff, providing a unique combination of control and power. The blade has a soft-medium hardness of 5 (2.1), similar to Tackiness Chop 2 (1.7).

Tackiness Chop 2 is an excellent choice for backhand, as it produces a good amount of spin and control. For forehand, players might prefer Tackiness Chop 1 (1.7) - a highly-rated inverted rubber that offers great control and spin.

The 5Q Sound works well for all-around play, but it excels in blocking and countering, providing great stability and control. It can also handle power loops well, and is comparable to popular blades like Yasaka Mark V or Butterfly Viscaria.

Overall, the Palio 5Q Sound is a versatile blade that offers a balanced combination of control and power, making it suitable for a wide range of playing styles.
