Dunlop Galactica Pro Nisse Padel Racket (2026)

Tennisnuts lists a 370 g racket with a high, head-heavy balance, a 38 mm profile, a rough 16K carbon face with a 45 degree face lay-up for control and precision, a Pro EVA core, Tri-Max reinforcement for stability on off-centre hits and Sonic Core Infinergy for rebound and vibration. It is labelled power focus and advanced.

The staff review describes it as stable and crisp rather than forgiving, which is how a heavy head-heavy racket should feel. It is made in partnership with Nisse LTD, in a limited edition.

Tennisnuts calls the head a diamond, designed for power with a high sweet spot, while our catalogue and research record tag it as a hybrid, as the 2025 Galactica Pro was. Every other detail we found lines up.

If the head shape matters to you, look at the listing photos before you buy. In practice, a 370 g racket with a high balance asks for the same thing whichever label wins: a fast, confident swing.

The 2025 Galactica Pro is the controlling, easier-handling version, and the 2026 FX Pro is Dunlop's other head-heavy diamond. For a round Nisse racket in the same edition, see the Galactica OS Nisse. Our wider list is on the advanced padel rackets page.

Anyone who is not already comfortable with a heavy, head-heavy racket, and players with elbow or shoulder trouble. Our intermediate padel rackets page lists lighter options, and our diamond padel rackets page covers the shape.
