Dunlop Galactica Pro Nisse
About the Dunlop Galactica Pro Nisse
Beyond its graphics, the Pro Nisse is the standard Galactica Pro: the same hybrid head, the same medium balance, and the same medium-density EVA core built to add pace for players who attack rather than defend. Nothing about the construction or playing character sets it apart from the model it is based on.
The Nisse treatment is cosmetic: a numbered, limited-run colourway made in collaboration with the artist Nisse, distinct from Dunlop's standard Pro graphics but not from what the racket does in play. Buyers should expect the same profile as the standard Pro — an attacking, net-forward racket suited to intermediate and advanced players who already generate their own pace, and considerably more demanding than the round-headed, control-first Galactica OS models in the same range.
The base Pro is the tier Dunlop has associated with professional player Juan Mieres across multiple seasons, and that association carries through to the platform underneath the Pro Nisse even though the edition itself is built around art rather than competition. A player deciding between the two should weigh the design and its limited availability, not any difference in performance, since there is none.
Questions about the Dunlop Galactica Pro Nisse
What is different about the Dunlop Galactica Pro Nisse compared with the standard Pro?
Only the colourway. The Pro Nisse is a numbered, limited-run edition built on the same hybrid head, medium balance and medium-density EVA core as the standard Galactica Pro, created in collaboration with the artist Nisse rather than as a separate playing platform.
Who is the Galactica Pro Nisse built for?
The same intermediate and advanced, attack-minded players as the standard Galactica Pro. Its head shape, balance and core are unchanged from that model, so the playing profile carries over exactly.
What core does the Galactica Pro Nisse use?
A medium-density EVA core, identical to the standard Galactica Pro it is based on. It is firmer and more responsive than a foam core, built to add punch on attacking shots while keeping enough give for control, which suits a player who already generates their own pace.
Is the Galactica Pro Nisse suitable for a beginner?
No, in the same way the standard Pro is not. Its hybrid head and medium balance ask more of a player's swing than the range's round-headed OS models, which are built to be more forgiving.
Should I choose the Galactica Pro Nisse over the standard Galactica Pro?
On performance alone it makes no difference; the two share their head, balance and core. The choice comes down to whether the limited-run artist colourway appeals, since the racket underneath plays identically to the standard Pro.
Is the Galactica Pro Nisse a control racket or a power racket?
Power, exactly as the standard Galactica Pro is. Its hybrid head and medium-density EVA core are built to add pace for an attacking, net-forward game rather than to maximise stability.
