Is not balanced. You have mid to advance rubbers with a cheap entry-level blade. From an economic point of view, it is better to have expensive blade and not-so expensive rubbers. The catch is to utilize this expensive blade in a way that a cheap blade can't replace it. Depending on your play stile and future goals, you can upgrade with some of the loop classics - Acoustic, Swat, Korbel, or inner carbon blade.

My Palio Energy 03 has terrible build quality and an average sweet spot, explained by the soft (and fake) carbon layers. The blade needs to be sealed to prevent splitting of the soft ayous top layer. Bare test and comparison with other blades indicate high dwell time and above average stiffness.

G1 is excellent rubber, but can be a little challenging for open ups and backspin lifting. If you have a more flexible blade, looping with G1 will be easy. But with good technic G1 is playable on stiffer and harder blades.

I agree with @belllfador here, why not get a better budget blade? Or just a normal better blade? They don't have to cost much! If you tell us your blade budget I can think along with you!

Btw, depending on your level, let's assume you are intermediate-ish, those rubbers are not a bad choice. If you are a beginner then they are too advanced for you. If you are advanced, you can use them but can also use the bluegrip C- rubbers as well for example or even the genextion on forehand! (haven't tried it yet but a V2C sheet is coming tomorrow so I will test it and review it soon).

Ahh, i was thinking of getting a palio stealth 3 but i decided to go for the p03 because ive read some reviews that the p03 has a lot of control and good for all around attackers

I probably wont change it for now because id like to see how does it perform first 😊

Oh yeah this is a bit out of topic but what kind of rubber protector should i get? Sticky or non sticky? iam thinking of getting a donic formula or probably a yinhe rubber protector

For all equipment questions like that, check this out! https://www.tabletennisequipmenthelp.com/equipment-faq

Tl;dr: for sticky rubbers, better non-sticky protectors, i use the dhs blue ones, last a long time and are very cheap and good quality

This one correct?

Correct!

I think it's okayish. Palio Energy 3 is so so, Nittaku G1 and Donic S1 are great rubbers.

I wouldn't listen to anyone criticising your racket unless they have played it and can then really make a call on whether another blade they've tried may be a good alternative for you

To me your racket sounds great and unless you're experiencing very definite problems with it (example blade too stiff or too hard so racket is too fast for you) then I'd say just enjoy it for a few months and see how you are able to control the ball with it.
But what little I've just read about that blade tells me it will probably be fine.

All of this is dependent on your level, skill, technique, playstyle etc and I know nothing about you personally so the real question is:
How do you find the Racket? 🙂

I haven't tried it on a table yet, however currently it feels nice
