DF26
DF26 is a short-pips rubber and a separate canonical product from DF16. No speed hierarchy between the two is stated, because no source establishing one could be verified, and variants are never copied between them.

Specifications and evidence
Approval evidence and market availability are recorded separately. A name listed by an approval source is not proof that the rubber is currently on sale, and a rubber on sale is not proof of a current approval. Approval is never inherited by a suffix or edition, and no expiry date is invented.
Market status describes current commercial availability only. Where it could not be verified it stays unknown rather than being guessed from a shop listing.
Printed hardness values are manufacturer figures on the maker's own scale. A printed Chinese degree is not assumed to equal an ESN degree, and no hardness is inferred from a product code or a sponge colour.
No reliable official Double Fish list price is published per region, so no price is shown rather than an invented one.

TTDNA values are TTDNA's own editorial 0–100 ratings. They are not official Double Fish measurements, not laboratory data and not a conversion of any retailer score.
Short and long pips behave differently: short pips hit flat and generate some spin of their own, while long pips mainly return the incoming spin. Generated spin and spin reversal are separate ratings.

Variants and configurations

Known users
Fast-block and hitting players — pen-hold forehands and close-to-table backhands that punish topspin early.
Double Fish publishes no athlete roster for this sheet, so TTDNA shows the player profile it is built for instead of invented names.
