Juani Mieres' new racket is Dunlop's new bet for this season, especially designed for advanced players looking for power. As usual, the Street Padel blog presents a complete analysis of the racket. It's time to get to know it from head to grip, to understand why it has become one of the favorite rackets of 2022.

Dunlop Galactica Pro 2022: the racket that makes a strong landing this season

Power and speed: its two great qualities

The new Galactica Pro belongs to Dunlop's range of advanced padel rackets. It is recommended for those who already have experience on the court and are accustomed to competitive play. A clear example of this is that it was created for Juani Mieres, a player who competes at the highest level of the World Padel Tour. But, moving on to what interests us, what type of player is the new Galactica Pro for? The essence of this racket is power. It is a racket that is characterized by facilitating offensive play, thanks to its characteristics that favor power. So, if you are an experienced offensive player, and you constantly go to the net to play with forcefulness, this is your new ideal racket.

Made of premium quality Japanese carbon

Brands always boast the most striking technical feature of their rackets. In the case of the Galactica Pro, the differential is in its composition. For this weapon, premium quality Japanese carbon has been used. This material is present in both the frame and the faces. In the case of the frame, it is a complete carbon tubular. The faces, meanwhile, are made of a 12K carbon fiber. This fiber is stronger than conventional carbon fiber, favoring aggressive play. The 12K fiber generates a drier and harder feel, something pleasant for hitters.

A semi-hard feel racket for attackers

The solidity of the materials is not only found on the outside, but also on the inside. Juani Mieres' racket has a Pro Eva core, an element already well known by fans of the brand. Now, we must clarify that when we say that the inside is also solid, it does not mean that it is as hard as the carbon exterior, because we are talking about a rubber. However, if we compare this Pro Eva rubber with an Eva Soft rubber, we can say that it is a little harder. This core is capable of improving power, while maintaining the rubber's qualities such as absorption, rebound and control.

The technologies of Juani Mieres' racket

To top it off perfectly, the Galactica Pro 2022 racket features several technologies that improve its performance. Most of them are old acquaintances that had been in previous rackets, but continue to be relevant today. One of them is Tri-Max, a piece in the heart of the racket that improves stability, firmness and control. Similarly, the rough finishes of the faces are seen again, with Extra Grip technology. It helps improve the spin of the ball when performing sliced and topspin shots. Another well-known technology that appears in this racket is Control Holes. This is the strategic positioning of the racket's holes to improve durability and resistance. Finally, a new technology appears this season, called 45° Face. This technology is applied to the faces, to have a more rigid feel that translates into a firmer contact with the ball.
