Palio Aeolus

I replace my Ten 05/80 with Aeolus 475/450 on my Barwell Fleet. Excellent. Faster and also spinny. It also has some grip, the feeling very very good. Can come from close to far table.

Good speed Don't know the reason but somewhat tacky So very good spin

Excellent rubber , fast but very grippy . No problem dealing with underspin and very consistent !

I tested a pair of Palio Aeolus rubbers, one black and one red, both with the 47.5° sponge in MAX thickness. Although Palio is a Chinese brand, the Aeolus is made in Germany by ESN, just like the older Palio Blitz. To me, it feels like a further development of the Blitz: essentially a European-style tensor rubber sold under a Chinese brand name. In terms of playing characteristics, it reminds me most of the Tibhar Aurus and the original Donic Acuda series. The topsheet feels medium-firm rather than genuinely hard, with a familiar Acuda-like touch. The sponge has relatively large pores—larger, in my impression, than those of the Aurus or Acuda, although not quite like a Bluefire M1 or an Evolution MX-P. An early Andro Hexer might be a reasonable comparison. Fortunately, I did not get the strange two-speed sensation that I experienced with the Bluefire M1. The Aeolus behaves more consistently, without that sudden, hard-to-predict change in response. Despite its nominal 47.5° sponge, the complete rubber feels somewhat softer than the number might suggest. Contact is pleasant, and delicate touches and drop shots are surprisingly easy to control. Overall, this is a classic European offensive tensor: comfortable, capable and fairly uncomplicated. It does pretty much everything well enough, without really standing out in any particular department. That is not a criticism of its quality. It is a genuinely good, versatile rubber that could suit players ranging from ambitious hobbyists to competitive players. It is also not particularly picky about the blade: I could see it working on all-wood blades as well as inner- or outer-composite constructions.

This rubber is a nice rubber nice feel and if you want to have good control this is the rubber for you. I'm basing this off the rhyzm-p that I use and this rubber is very similar just a step behind. I play close to the table and fast attack style and this rubber is good but like I said maybe just a step slower but spin is almost the same. I don't smash a lot but I use placement to get my opponent off and I think if you use this rubber a lot it will be good for you.
