I've seen people talk about Galaxy(YinHe), Dawei, DHS and Double Fish table tennis equipments, but not Palio, which is surprising since their rubbers are well known and they have a large line of blades. A friend of mine who went to China(Guangzhou and Shenzen) recently mentioned that Palio are the most popular brand in China, overtaking even YinHe. The quality of the blades are good, and are easily as good as any YinHe blade in most table tennis shop. My question is that why Palio products have remained so obscure?

I was informed that a few years back, their range of table tennis equipment was known as the budget brand in China. This could be the reason that they are popular. I checked out some of their rubbers, and the quality and consistency was largely there. The YinHe blades are of the better quality I have seen come out of China. Now I have seen some Palio blades to judge their quality, eg Palio TCT, T7, TNT etc.

From what I can gather in other forums they have indeed lifted their products, and have now come up with some quality and top notch products.

Their rubbers, especially the CJ8000 is very popular and at a reasonable price too. They have 2 types, one made in China factory, the other under ESN (like the Macro Era) which is a tensor rubber.
