Dunlop Nanomax Pro
About the Dunlop Nanomax Pro
The Nanomax Pro keeps the all-round intent of the Nanomax range but firms things up compared with the Nanomax Lite: a hybrid head and medium balance paired with an EVA core Dunlop describes as denser than the Lite's soft version. The result is a racket that returns the ball a little more briskly and rewards a bit more of a player's own swing, without moving into the control-first or power-first territory of Dunlop's Galactica range.
That makes the Pro the natural next step for a player who has outgrown the Lite's softness but is not yet looking for a specialist racket. It still carries a generous, forgiving sweet spot, so it remains accessible to beginner and intermediate players, but the firmer core gives it more life on attacking shots and at the net than the Lite is built to provide. A player who still wants maximum comfort and the softest possible feel should stay with the Lite; one who is ready for a more assertive all-rounder is the target for the Pro.
The Nanomax Pro is not positioned as a power racket in the way the Galactica Pro is: its hybrid head and medium balance keep it in all-round territory, aimed at players developing their game rather than those already playing an aggressive, net-forward style.
Questions about the Dunlop Nanomax Pro
Who is the Dunlop Nanomax Pro designed for?
Beginner and intermediate players who have outgrown the softness of the Nanomax Lite and want a bit more punch from an all-round racket, without moving into a specialist control or power model.
Is the Nanomax Pro suitable for a beginner?
It can be, though the softer-cored Nanomax Lite is the gentler starting point. The Pro suits a beginner who wants a little more response from their shots, or an improving player who has moved past needing maximum forgiveness.
What core does the Dunlop Nanomax Pro use?
A firmer EVA core than the Nanomax Lite's soft version, described by Dunlop as a denser compound. EVA holds its firmness over repeated use, and this denser version gives the Pro more energy return on attacking shots while still keeping a forgiving, all-round feel.
How does the Nanomax Pro compare with the Nanomax Lite?
Both share a similar all-round intent and balance, but the Pro's core is firmer, giving it more punch and a livelier response. The Lite stays softer and more forgiving, which suits a player who prioritises comfort over pace.
Does the Nanomax Pro favour control, power, or an all-round game?
An all-round game, ahead of either extreme. Its hybrid head and medium balance are built to cover control and power reasonably well rather than to specialise, though its firmer core gives it more attacking punch than the Nanomax Lite.
Is the Nanomax Pro a step toward Dunlop's Galactica range?
Not directly. It stays within Dunlop's more accessible Nanomax line rather than moving toward the control-first or power-first specialism of the Galactica range, so a player looking for that level of specialisation should look at Galactica models instead.
