Paddle

A solid tool that is used for impact play and discipline. Usually has a narrow handle and a wider striking surface made from a single rigid material, as opposed to a slapper, which has a flexible striking surface.

Often made out of wood, but also sometimes out of metal, epoxy or other rigid material. "Pervertible" versions often come from the kitchen or sporting goods aisles in the form of cutting boards, cricket bats, etc. Some paddles have a textured surface.

The breaking of a paddle on someone is sometimes seen as a rite of passage.
