The Dunlop Nanomax Pro is a hybrid racket with a carbon frame, listed for beginners and intermediates. It weighs 370 g, which is heavy for that audience, and its meters read Low for comfort and maneuverability. No reviews exist yet, so this is a read of the specs. Compare it with the Galactica Team 2025 at 365 g before you decide.
RBy Ruud Caris · facts checked 9 October 2026Choose it if
- you are an improving player who wants a stable, solid racket and can handle a heavier frame
- you like a hybrid shape with medium balance and want control and power in similar amounts
- you have already played a heavier racket and know your arm copes with it
Skip it if
- you are brand new to padel and want a slightly lighter racket. The Dunlop Galactica Team 2025 weighs 365 g, though its meters read the same as this one
- your elbow or shoulder is sensitive, because comfort reads Low here and the Oxdog Pure Tour X 2026 reads Medium
- you want a large forgiving sweet spot, which the specs do not promise for this racket
How it plays
Line = the average of all rackets ▲ above ▼ below
On paper, this is a medium all-rounder with a heavy frame. Here is what the specs suggest on court.
- Control Medium, helped by the hybrid shape, the medium balance and the EVA Pro core.
- Power Medium, with the carbon-type face and the heavy frame adding some weight to your shots.
- Comfort Low, because the heavy frame outweighs what the EVA Pro core can absorb.
- Handling Low, since the weight makes quick volleys and fast resets harder work.
- Forgiveness Low, so you will want to find the middle of the face consistently.

Price history
Lowest price per day across the shops in your market. Checked every night.
The first thing to check on the Dunlop Nanomax Pro is its weight. The retailer lists it for Beginner / Intermediate players, yet it weighs 370 g. That weight is fixed, with no range. No reviewer has tested it yet, so everything below comes from the specs.
Sold for first steps, built at 370 g
The product page calls it the companion for those starting in padel. That is the brand's pitch. The specs tell a slightly different story. A 370 g racket is a heavy one, and the profile meters mark its weight class as heavy.
What does that mean for you? A heavy frame is stable on contact. It also asks more of your wrist and arm over a long match. Not a problem for everyone, but a real consideration if you are new and still building strength.
Dunlop promises comfort, the meters say Low: reading the claim
The product page says the EVA Pro core absorbs vibrations and reduces fatigue. Treat that as a claim. The meters give a more careful picture. The core does raise comfort, but the heavy weight pulls it down, and the net result is Low.
So the core is not the problem. The weight is. If you choose this racket, a good overgrip and sensible session lengths help. If your arm already complains, a lighter racket is the safer route.
The same logic applies to handling. The brand talks about maneuverability. The meter reads Low, because the weight lowers it and the medium balance only partly makes up for it. Expect to work a bit harder at the net.
Hybrid, medium balance, 38 mm: where Medium control comes from
Control reads Medium, and four things raise it: the EVA Pro core, the Glaphite face, the hybrid shape and the medium balance of 265 mm. Nothing here is extreme. That is the point. The racket is not built to be pointed at one style of play.
A hybrid shape sits between round and diamond. You get a mix of control and power rather than a lean toward either. The medium balance means the weight is not pushed into the head. The thickness is 38 mm.
Power also reads Medium. The face and the shape raise it, and so does the heavy frame. You get some push from the mass, but the specs do not describe a power racket.
The frame is carbon and the surface is listed as rough. The specs say nothing more about how much that adds.
Sweet spot reads Low, and no driver is listed for it. Read that as a prompt to be accurate with your contact point. No source says where the sweet spot sits, so it stays an open question.
Nanomax Pro next to the Galactica Team 2025: 365 g or 370 g, and one name apart
The closest comparison is the Dunlop Galactica Team 2025. It shares the hybrid shape, the medium balance, the Glaphite face, the 38 mm thickness and the Beginner / Intermediate level. The core is written as Pro EVA there and EVA Pro here. That is a difference in label, not proof of a different material. All five meters match.
The visible difference is weight: 365 g for the Galactica Team 2025 against 370 g for the Nanomax Pro. On paper, they are very close rackets. You can run the direct comparison to see them side by side.
Weight is the only listed difference, and the meters do not separate the two. If you want a little more mass behind the ball, pick the Nanomax Pro. If you prefer slightly less weight in your hand, pick the Galactica Team 2025.
No review, no head size, no handle spec: what the specs cannot tell you
There are no reviews for this racket yet. No tester has published an opinion on feel, vibration or durability. The head size, the handle and the weight system are also not published. Those details matter for how the racket sits in your hand and how it swings, so a demo session is worth more than usual here.
The playing side is not stated either. Do not treat this as a racket made for one side of the court.
Nanomax Pro, Galactica Team 2025 or Oxdog Pure Tour X 2026: picking your hybrid
The Oxdog Pure Tour X 2026 is also a hybrid with medium balance and 365 g weight, but it is aimed at Intermediate / Advanced players. Its meters read Medium for comfort and sweet spot, where the Nanomax Pro reads Low. It is a step up in level, not in weight.
A simple way to choose: if you are comfortable with weight and want that extra mass, take the Nanomax Pro. If you want a slightly lighter racket and nothing else changed, the Galactica Team 2025 fits. If comfort and a more forgiving face matter most and you are past the first months, look at the Oxdog.

Questions before you buy
Is the Dunlop Nanomax Pro good for beginners?
It is listed for Beginner / Intermediate players, but at 370 g it is heavy for a first racket. Comfort and maneuverability both read Low on paper. The Galactica Team 2025 weighs 365 g, though its meters read the same, so try before you commit.
How does the Nanomax Pro differ from the Galactica Team 2025?
On paper, very little. Shape, balance, face, thickness and level match, and all five meters are the same. The Nanomax Pro weighs 370 g and the Galactica Team 2025 weighs 365 g. The core is written EVA Pro on one and Pro EVA on the other.
Is the Nanomax Pro kind to the arm?
The EVA Pro core helps, and the product page claims it absorbs vibrations. But the heavy weight pulls comfort down to Low on the meters. No review confirms how it feels, so be careful if you have elbow or shoulder trouble.
What do the specs not tell me about this racket?
Head size, handle and weight system are not published, and there are no reviews yet. Without them you cannot judge swing feel or vibration from the specs alone.
