Palio · No family · Medium pips
WP1013
WP1013 sits between short and long pips: its pimples are longer than a hitting short-pips sheet but shorter than a classic defensive long-pips sheet. It produces limited spin of its own, partially returns incoming spin and destabilises the ball's trajectory. It is available as OX, which means no sponge at all, as well as with 1.5 mm and 1.8 mm sponges.

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 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.
Short, medium and long pips behave differently: short pips hit flat and generate some spin of their own, medium or half-long pips disrupt trajectory with partial reversal, and long pips mainly return incoming spin. Generated spin and spin reversal are separate ratings.

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.

Palio publishes no athlete roster for this sheet, so TTDNA shows the player profile it is built for instead of invented names.
