[How padell.io earns money](https://padell.io/how-we-earn-money/) The short answer The Dunlop Galactica OS By Nisse 2026 is a round, 38 mm carbon racket rated Advanced by the retailer. Its weight window runs from 355 to 365 g, and the balance is listed as Medium. On paper it leans towards control and away from raw power. No review exists yet, and the balance in mm is not published. By [Ruud Caris](https://padell.io/about/) · facts checked 26 October 2026 Choose it if - you want a round racket that favours control and are comfortable at Advanced level - you want control and a medium balance rather than a head-heavy frame - you prefer a racket with a carbon face that stays on the softer side of the range Skip it if - you want a power racket for smashes, where the hybrid Dunlop Galactica Pro By Nisse 2026 fits better - you are new to padel and want a racket listed for Beginner / Intermediate players, such as the Dunlop Megamax Green 2025 - you want a larger sweet spot, since the adidas Metalbone Carbon Ctrl 2026 is listed High there against Medium here ## How it plays 7.7 **padell.io score 7.7** Play 8.5 (60%) and reviews 6.6 (40%).

Core (EVA Pro), face (3K carbon), shape (Round), thickness (38 mm) and level (Advanced) match. The compared fields that differ are the balance, Low there and Medium here, and the weight, a fixed 360 g there against 355 to 365 g here. Treat those as changed labels, not measured changes. The plain version is listed with a Low balance, but without the balance in mm the actual difference is unknown. If the weight window matters to you, a fixed 360 g may suit you better. ## Price history Today **€ 184.95** Lowest in 30 days **€ 184.95** vs 30-day average **-8%** Lowest price per day across the shops in your market.

Put the Galactica OS By Nisse 2026 next to the plain [Galactica OS](https://padell.io/rackets/dunlop/galactica-os/) and the sheets match on core, face, shape, thickness and level. The compared fields that differ are the balance label and the weight. That makes this page a question of what two small changes can tell you, because no review of this racket exists yet. The Galactica family Same year, from most power (left) to most control (right) [**Pro By Nisse**](https://padell.io/rackets/dunlop/galactica-pro-by-nisse-2026/) **OS By Nisse** [**OS**](https://padell.io/rackets/dunlop/galactica-os/) ## Low or Medium balance: the one label that moved between two Galactica OS sheets The plain [Galactica OS](https://padell.io/rackets/dunlop/galactica-os/) is listed with a Low balance. This one is listed as Medium. What that means in your hand is not known. The balance in mm is not published for either racket, so nobody can say how big the gap really is. Be careful with that. A label is a label. It may be a real change or just a different way of describing the same frame. Until a number or a test shows up, treat the difference as unknown. ## 355 to 365 g instead of a fixed 360 g: what the window means in your hand The plain version is listed at 360 g. This one is listed from 355 to 365 g. A window means the racket you receive can land anywhere inside that range. Ten grams is a small spread, but it is a spread. If you are sensitive to weight, handle the one you get before you commit to it for a season. ## Round, EVA Pro, 3K carbon: why control reads High and power reads Low The [round shape](https://padell.io/guides/padel-racket-shapes/) does most of the work. It is the main reason control reads High and power reads Low. The EVA Pro core and the medium balance add to control. The 3K carbon face and the core also lift comfort to Medium. What do you notice? On paper, a racket that rewards placement. You generate pace with your own swing, and the specs give you little help on smashes. Maneuverability and sweet spot both read Medium, so nothing here is extreme in either direction. ## Galactica OS By Nisse or Galactica Pro By Nisse: a round control racket against a hybrid with a 16K face The same-year [Galactica Pro By Nisse 2026](https://padell.io/rackets/dunlop/galactica-pro-by-nisse-2026/) is a different racket. It is a hybrid with a High balance and a 16K carbon face, listed at 360 to 375 g. Its meters are close to the opposite of this one: power High, control Medium, comfort Low and sweet spot Low. So the choice is simple. Want control and medium comfort? Stay here. Want more power and accept lower comfort and a smaller sweet spot? Look at the Pro. The [Dunlop Megamax Green 2025](https://padell.io/compare/dunlop-megamax-green-2025-vs-dunlop-galactica-os-by-nisse-2026/) is another route. It is also round with High control and Low power, but its maneuverability reads Low against Medium here. It uses a fiberglass face and is listed for Beginner / Intermediate players. ## Tri-Max and a polyvalent profile: what a retailer lists and what the page only claims A retailer lists Tri-Max as the anti-vibration technology and a Medium / Hard core density. It also describes the player profile as polyvalent. Those are retailer entries, not test results, so treat them as descriptions. The product page goes further. It claims the 355 to 365 g weight gives great stability, that the sweet spot is wide, and that the racket suits intermediate and advanced players. The meters here show a Medium sweet spot, and the level is listed as Advanced. The wide sweet spot claim is not backed by the Medium sweet spot meter. ## Not published: balance in mm, head size, handle and any court test Several things are missing. The balance in mm, the head size, the handle and the weight system are not published. No reviewer has tested it either. So everything above comes from the specs and the retailer sheet. What can you do? Wait for a first court test if you can. Or try the racket through a demo. The weight window and the medium balance are the two things to check in your own hand.
