DUNLOP Galactica Team Padel Racquet

The Dunlop Galactica Team serves as the highly accessible, user-friendly bridge within Dunlop's elite flagship collection. While the Pro models are rigid and demanding weapons tailored strictly for advanced and tournament-level competitors, the Team version is engineered specifically to offer forgiving playability, supreme comfort, and an even blend of power and control.

By substituting the ultra-stiff carbon fiber faces of the Pro series with a flexible Premium Fiberglass construction layout wrapped around a Carbon/Graphite frame, Dunlop created a responsive racket that expands the sweet spot and reduces structural fatigue.

Performance Profile

1. Forgiving All-Court Versatility (High): Built in an oversize teardrop shape with a centered medium/even balance, the Galactica Team doesn't pull heavily toward your wrist or drag through the air. This neutral balance ensures you can switch fluidly between defending fast baseline attacks and maintaining high-speed volleys at the net.
2. Elastic Comfort & Easy Ball Output: Thanks to the combination of the fiberglass face and a medium-density Pro EVA core, the hitting surface yields a soft, highly elastic response. This creates an exceptional "trampoline effect," helping you generate deep, pushing lobs and baseline clearance even when your feet aren't perfectly positioned.
3. Expanded Sweet Spot: Because fiberglass naturally flexes more than carbon, the optimal hitting zone spreads much wider across the face. Off-center hits retain their direction and structural pace rather than dropping dead or sending jarring shocks up your arm.
4. Strategic Spin: The face is finished with Dunlop’s sand-textured Extra Grip coating. This rough abrasive layer grabs the ball at impact, helping you cut down your volleys or put extra drop on your chiquitas so they skid away low off the glass.

Best Suited For

The Dunlop Galactica Team is tailor-made for Intermediate, Club, and Progressing players who play a polyvalent (all-court) style.

It is highly recommended for:

• Intermediate players looking to move away from basic beginner rackets into a high-quality, durable frame without losing arm comfort.
• Players who prioritize control, easy depth, and a plush impact sensation over maximum, raw smash speed.
• Tennis players transitioning into padel who need a forgiving, structurally stable frame while they master their short-swing mechanics.

Pro Tip

Because the Galactica Team uses a more flexible fiberglass face layout, it naturally excels at absorbing the incoming velocity of your opponent's heavy shots.
