Dunlop Nanomax Lite 2025 Padel Racket

Zona de Padel lists a teardrop racket of 350 to 360 g with a soft EVA core and fibreglass surfaces with a sandpaper roughness, aimed at beginners and described as polyvalent. It calls the build lightweight and control-minded, with flexible surfaces that reduce fatigue.

That description fits the way most sellers talk about the racket: a gentle, forgiving first racket that will not tire you out. It is not meant to be a power racket, and the soft core is the main reason.

Stringers World lists a 350 g racket with a hybrid head, an even balance and a carbon face and frame. Padel Reference lists 365 g and a graphite frame, and Padelspeed's review says Pro EVA and a glassfibre face. None gives a carbon grade, and the sources do not settle which listing is right.

The 2026 Nanomax Lite is described in similar terms, with a graphite frame and a rough face, so for a first racket the two behave alike. Buy the one you can find at the better price and read the year on the listing.

The Nanomax Pro is the heavier sibling (last season's Nanomax Pro 2025 is the same step up), and the FX Start is the 2026 entry racket from the newer range. The Megamax is the round, forgiving option, and the Galactica Lite is last season's carbon hybrid.
