AK47
AK47 is a single canonical Palio identity offered with three sponge colours. Red is the softest sponge, blue sits in the middle and yellow is the firmest; the sponge colour is a hardness designation and says nothing about the rubber colour, which is separately available in red and black. TTDNA stores the sponge colours as variants under one approval identity rather than as three products.

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 and ranges are manufacturer figures on Palio's own regional or printed scale. A printed 54° is not assumed to equal a DHS or ESN 54°, and ranges such as 36–38 are kept verbatim.
No reliable official Palio list price is published per region, so no price is shown rather than an invented one.

Variants and configurations
3 variantsColour, thickness and configuration are variants of one model — never separate products. Colour never changes a rating, MAX and OX stay qualitative labels, and OX carries no sponge hardness.

Offensive club and league players who want a spin-first inverted sheet on the forehand or backhand.
Palio publishes no athlete roster for this sheet, so TTDNA shows the player profile it is built for instead of invented names.
