Palio Energy 03 comparison with Allwood Blades?

[sky500]

Hi,

Has someone experience with the Palio Energy 03 and can compare it with Allwood Blades? Are they similar? It has 4 Soft Carbon ply. So it's not a 5 ply wood blade by definition.

I have a Palio Energy 03 and considering changing my main rubbers to it and test it. I want to try a allwood blade beside my ALC blade and stiga allround classic. Not sure if I can test with the Palio energy 03 or if I should by a real 5 ply wood blade.

I have used it as my first custom blade. I can only compare it to the wooden blades I have used, which are Yasaka Sweden Extra and Nittaku Violin.

The Palio is noticeably slower than both of those blades, even though it is advertised as OFF.
The carbon does offer a large sweet spot and it was very noticeable when I switched to the Violin. I have to be much more precise with the Violin.

From my experience, this is just a very slow carbon blade. Quite different from wooden blades.
