[How padell.io earns money](https://padell.io/how-we-earn-money/) The short answer The Dunlop Galactica Lite 2025 is the light one in the 2025 Galactica range. It weighs 350 to 355 g, where the Pro and Team weigh 365 g. On paper it is a hybrid with a soft core and no extremes. No review exists yet, so this is a read of the specs. It suits an advanced player who wants an easy-to-swing racket, not a specialist tool. By [Ruud Caris](https://padell.io/about/) · facts checked 9 October 2026 Choose it if - you want a hybrid in the Galactica family but find 365 g too heavy to swing for a full match - you value a soft core and a forgiving hit over a stiff, punishing feel - you play a mixed game and prefer a racket without a strong lean towards attack or defence Skip it if - you want a heavier, firmer hybrid, in which case look at the Kuikma Hybrid Pro Coki Nieto, which is listed at 365 g - you need proof from reviews before buying, because none exist yet for this racket - you are a beginner and want the most forgiving option, where the round Dunlop Galactica OS Lite is the gentler sibling ## How it plays 7.4 **padell.io score 7.4** Play 7.9 (60%) and reviews 6.6 (40%). No independent reviews found yet, so that part starts low.

Checked every night. The Dunlop Galactica Lite 2025 weighs 350 to 355 g. The [Galactica Pro](https://padell.io/rackets/dunlop/galactica-pro-2025/) and Team next to it both weigh 365 g, and that gap is the story of this racket. It is a hybrid with a carbon face, a soft core and a medium balance. Nothing in it is extreme. No review of this racket has been found yet, so everything below comes from the specs and from what the brand says. ## 350 to 355 g against 365 g: how light the Lite is among the 2025 Galactica rackets The gap is small on paper. A lighter racket should be quicker to bring up for a volley and ask less of your wrist and shoulder when you defend. Retailers list the nominal weight as 350 g, and the range runs up to 355 g. Dunlop's own Canadian site gives the upper figure. So the name is honest. This is the light version of the hybrid Galactica. It is not a very light racket by any absolute standard, but within its family it is the easiest to swing. ## Soft EVA under 16K carbon: why every meter reads Medium The face is listed as 16K carbon by a retailer. A brand listing mentions a 12K carbon construction instead. The sources disagree, and the specs alone cannot settle it. Either way, it is a carbon face, and carbon faces are stiff. Under it sits a Soft EVA core. That is the part that sets this racket apart from the Pro and Team, which both use a Pro EVA core. A soft core takes some pace out of the ball but adds forgiveness and a gentler impact. The result is a racket where the stiff face and the soft core pull in opposite directions. The face adds power and costs some comfort. The core adds comfort and costs some power. That is why every meter reads Medium. Not a flaw, but a compromise. ## Great power and thorough control, says the product page: what a Medium profile gives an advanced player The product page claims the racket combines great power with a very thorough control. That is a marketing line. The meters say something more modest: control, power, comfort, maneuverability and sweet spot all land in the middle. Is that a problem? Not for everyone. A racket with no strong lean gives you room to build your own game. If you smash and defend in roughly equal measure, you do not fight the racket. If you want a racket that does a lot of the work in one area, you will not find it here. The level label is Advanced, from one retailer. Treat it as a guide. The soft core and low weight point to a racket that may be less demanding than the label suggests. That is a reading of the specs, not a test. ## Tri-Max, Control Holes, Extra Grip: what Dunlop claims and what the sheet lists The product page names several technologies. Tri-Max reinforcement is said to give stability. Control Holes are said to help precise shots. Extra Grip is said to help generate spin. Sonic Core Infinergy is said to reduce vibrations. These are claims. None of them comes with a measurement, and no reviewer has tested them. The surface is listed as rough, which fits the spin claim in a general way. Beyond that, treat the names as the brand's description, not as proven effects. ## Galactica Lite next to the OS Lite, Pro and Team The Galactica family Same year, from most power (left) to most control (right) [**Pro**](https://padell.io/rackets/dunlop/galactica-pro-2025/) [**Team**](https://padell.io/rackets/dunlop/galactica-team-2025/) **Lite** [**OS Lite**](https://padell.io/rackets/dunlop/galactica-os-lite/) The [Galactica Pro 2025](https://padell.io/rackets/dunlop/galactica-pro-2025/) shares the hybrid shape, the medium balance and the carbon face with the Lite. It weighs 365 g and has the Pro EVA core. Its meters read lower for comfort, maneuverability and sweet spot. Choose it only if you want the heavier, firmer version. The [Galactica OS Lite](https://padell.io/rackets/dunlop/galactica-os-lite/) is a different racket. It is round, with a 3K carbon face, and is aimed at beginner and intermediate players. Its meters read high for control, comfort and sweet spot, and low for power. It is the forgiving choice. The Lite sits between it and the Pro. The Team has the same 365 g weight and Pro EVA core, with a different face and a beginner to intermediate label. Outside the family, the [Stiga 18K LW Cybershape Amanda Girdo Edition](https://padell.io/rackets/stiga/18k-lw-cybershape-amanda-girdo-edition/) is a close match on paper. It is also a 350 g hybrid with a medium balance and a soft foam core, and it carries an intermediate label. ## No review, no head size, no balance in mm: what you cannot check No review of this racket has been found. No head size, frame, handle length or weight system is published. The balance is only given as medium, without a figure in millimetres. The thickness is listed at 38 mm in a manual published on a French site, extreme-padel.fr. That matters. Without a balance figure you cannot compare it closely with another racket. Without a head size you cannot judge the hitting area. If you can, try it before you buy. Until reviews appear, treat the Medium profile as a prediction, not a result.

It weighs 350 to 355 g, while the Pro and Team both weigh 365 g. The OS Lite is listed at 355 to 365 g. **Is it suitable for beginners?** A retailer labels it Advanced. The soft core makes it less harsh than that suggests, but a beginner will find the round Galactica OS Lite a gentler fit on paper. **Will it be comfortable for your arm?** The soft core should help with vibrations, but the stiff carbon face works against it, and the comfort meter reads Medium. No reviewer has reported on arm comfort yet. **Has anyone reviewed this racket?** Not yet. The page is built from the published specs and from Dunlop's own claims, which are treated here as claims and not as test results. **Is the Galactica Lite 2025 worth the money right now?** Today's price is labelled "Good value" compared with the rackets that play most alike.

That counts as light. Each racket can differ within that range. [Why a range? →](https://padell.io/guides/padel-racket-weight-range/)
