Dunlop Galactica Pro 2025

Put the Galactica Pro 2025 next to its 2026 successor. The core, the 16K carbon face, the hybrid shape and the 38 mm profile are the same. Three things moved: the weight, the surface and the balance. That is the story of this racket, and it starts with a gap. No review of the 2025 version has been found yet. Everything below comes from the specs and from what they suggest on court.

Fixed 365 g, then 360 to 375 g: what the By Nisse 2026 changes

The 2025 racket is listed at 365 g, with the same number as minimum and maximum. So you get one weight, not a range. That is heavy, and it is the main reason the maneuverability meter reads Low. At the net, in fast exchanges, you will want a strong shoulder and a short swing.

The By Nisse 2026 is listed from 360 to 375 g. That spread means two rackets of the same model can differ in your hand. If you like to know exactly what you buy, the fixed 365 g is a small plus for the 2025.

Medium balance becomes High: the label that moved and the one you cannot measure

The retailer lists the 2025 balance as Medium. The 2026 version is listed as High. A label is not a measurement. The balance in millimetres is not published for this racket, so you cannot say how far the weight sits toward the head. What you can say is the direction: the successor is listed as more head-heavy.

What does that mean for you? A medium balance usually keeps the racket stable without dragging the head. A higher balance tends to add push on smashes and bandejas, at the cost of a slower wrist. If you want that, see the By Nisse 2026 or run the direct comparison. The surface also changed from Rough to 3D Rough, which is a changed label, nothing more.

16K carbon over Pro EVA: why control and power read Medium but comfort reads Low

The 16K carbon face is stiff. The Pro EVA core is medium. The face raises control and power, and so does the hybrid shape. The same face lowers comfort, and so does the heavy weight. The medium core pulls the other way, but not enough to turn Low into Medium.

In plain words: this racket gives you a firm, direct hit and passes more of it to your arm. If you have a sensitive elbow, take that seriously. A lighter frame with a soft core would be kinder.

Medium-high or Medium: where the product page and the retailer sheet disagree

The product page calls the balance medium-high. The retailer sheet says Medium. Both cannot be exact, and the millimetre figure that would settle it is not published. This page uses the retailer label.

The product page also claims great comfort, great control and minimal vibration. Treat that as marketing. The comfort meter on paper reads Low. The same text also mentions an LS model and a Tri-Max technology. Neither matches this listing. So it is not a clean source for this racket.

Advanced, no review and no head size: what the sheet leaves open

The level is listed as Advanced. Head area, frame, handle and weight system are not published. So you do not know how large the face is, and the Low sweet spot meter has no stated reason behind it. That matters most for a hybrid, since hybrids sit between the forgiving round and the powerful diamond.

With no review, there is also no word on how it ages, how it sounds or how stable it is off-centre. If you can, try it before you buy.

Galactica Pro 2025, Siux Diablo Pro 4 or Siux Pegasus GV Edition: picking your heavy hybrid

The Siux Diablo Pro 4 is also a 2025 Advanced hybrid, with Medium balance and the same 38 mm thickness. It uses an 18K Textreme carbon face and is listed from 355 to 375 g. Its meters match the Dunlop's.

The Siux Pegasus GV Edition is a hybrid at the same level with a 24K Twill Silver Carbon face and a published balance of 265 mm. If you want a number to check against your arm, that helps.

Pick the Galactica Pro 2025 when the fixed 365 g and the 16K face appeal. Pick one of the Siux rackets when you want a different face or a published balance figure.
