Amigo
Amigo is a classic tacky Palio rubber sold with printed hardness ranges of 39–41 and 42–44 on Palio's own regional scale. Its tack, which is a surface property, is stored separately from grip: the sheet grips strongly at low impact and rewards brushing strokes rather than raw catapult.
Also listed as: Palio Amigo
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.

TTDNA ratings
TTDNA values are TTDNA's own editorial 0–100 ratings. They are not official Palio measurements, not laboratory data and not a conversion of any retailer score.
TTDNA ratings are normalized comparison values, not laboratory measurements. They are built from published specifications, technical sources and structured product evidence, converted to one 0–100 scale. Where a directly comparable measurement is unavailable, the value is an evidence-based estimate. Overall-style scores are composites of several characteristics. Methodology
Sources: Palio official product data · Retailer spec listings — weight, sponge hardness and thickness · TTDNA ratings — derived by TableTennisDNA, not manufacturer data

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.
