Video overview
The Dunlop Galactica Lite is a lightweight teardrop racket built for intermediate players who want fast handling and comfortable power.
- Shape: Teardrop, a balance of control and power that covers every part of the game.
- Level: Suits intermediate players.
- Face: Carbon, firmer and more direct, turning your swing speed straight into ball speed.
- Balance: Low, handle heavy. The head feels light and quick in your hand, easy at the net.
- Weight: 345-360g, light enough to swing all session without tiring your arm.
- Surface: A rough finish grips the ball, making slice and topspin easier to add.
- Standout: At 345-360g with a low balance, it offers genuinely easy manoeuvrability without dropping into beginner territory.
- Value: A sensible step up from entry level: you get real carbon construction and spin-friendly surface texture without paying for tour-level tech you are not ready to use yet.
- 16K Carbon Frame: Carbon fibre construction with a 16K weave provides strength and responsiveness without adding unnecessary weight. Stiffer than fibreglass so you get better energy return on hard hits, but the Soft EVA core keeps it comfortable enough for intermediate players.
- Soft EVA Core: Softer foam core absorbs vibration and gives a forgiving feel on off-centre hits. It delivers a comfortable blend of power and control, though advanced players may eventually want a firmer core for crisper feedback and more precision.
- Extra Grip Textured Surface: Rough surface finish increases friction between ball and racket, making it easier to generate spin on aggressive shots. Particularly useful on smashes and angled volleys where you want the ball to dip or kick.
- Tri-Max Reinforcement: Reinforced frame structure improves torsional stability, meaning the racket twists less on impact. This translates to better accuracy, especially on volleys and blocks where you need the face to stay square.
- Control Holes System: Hole drilling pattern designed to improve consistency across the sweet spot. Helps maintain precision on a range of shots, particularly useful when you are developing more varied shot placement.
The galactica lite is a versatile intermediate model, allowing for control, power and manoeuvrability. Excels in groundstrokes and off the wall play.

Everything listed as in stock is sitting in our warehouse ready to go, so there's no waiting on suppliers. Orders placed after the cut-off, on weekends or on bank holidays are dispatched the next working day.

How do I choose the right padel racket for my skill level and playing style?
Start with your level, then your style. As a rough guide: round rackets have a big sweet spot and maximum control, ideal for beginners and defensive players. Teardrop rackets balance power and control, perfect for most intermediate players. Diamond rackets are power-focused with a smaller sweet spot, best for advanced, aggressive players. The quickest way to narrow it down is our Racket Quiz, answer a few questions about your level, style and budget and it'll recommend the best options currently in stock. You can also check out our YouTube channel where we review and test rackets on court, or just message us on WhatsApp and we'll recommend one personally.
