Instinct: Light Pickleball Paddles

Lightweight Pickleball Paddles by Li-Ning for Quick Play

The Li-Ning Pickleball has made buying pickleball paddles easy by segmenting its paddles into four performance categories. The Pickleball paddles in the INSTINCT SERIES are lightweight Pickleball paddles that are designed for people with a quick hands style of play. Players focused on improving their game and honing their skills can be assured that when they choose a Li-Ning Instinct pickleball paddle, they are getting a high-quality pickleball paddle that the USA Pickleball Association has approved for competitive play.

While all Li-Ning pickleball paddles have very similar traits such as length and width, you will notice that the options in the INSTINCT SERIES tend to be slightly lighter than our COMBAT SERIES pickleball paddles, that are slightly heavier and cater to an explosive play style. This is done on purpose for a couple reasons; one to ensure the paddle is as easy to swing as possible and two because it provides a quick-hands playing style for players with skills and abilities that lend themselves to lightweight products. These paddles also will help your shot placement over and around the net as you start to increase your intensity of your game. You also can expect a fair amount of control and reasonable enough power on every shot. So simply choose a pickleball paddle with a head shape and color that you like and give it a try.

Choosing the Right Pickleball Paddle for you Starts With the Feel

You can spend a lot of time reading through manufacturer’s pickleball paddle specifications or talking with your pickleball playing partners about what paddle is right for you, but the bottom line is that most people choose the perfect pickleball paddle based on how it feels in their hand. Things like the weight, handle length and grip size are important considerations when purchasing a paddle to play pickleball, but you have likely honed that down and want to focus on getting a lightweight pickleball paddle from Li-Ning’s Instinct Series. As a general rule, lightweight pickleball paddles are defined as weighing 7.3 ounces or less. We hope your lightweight Li-Ning pickleball paddle feels perfect and fits hand in glove right out of the box. But if for some reason is doesn’t, please review our 30-day return policy so we can get the right pickleball paddle in your hand because Li-Ning wants you to feel confident on the pickleball court!
