Fli-back paddle

Has anyone here ever been spanked with a fli-back paddle?

Do you mean the thing that looks like a ping pong paddle with the ball attached to a rubber band???

He does, if he agrees with google

Yes switchablesusie, I do!

I have been spanked/paddled with much worse!

I have also been ping pong paddled.

Hi susie, if you don't mind me asking, what other things were you spanked with? Presumably 'ping pong paddled' is being paddled with a ping pong bat?

I did not come across this particular brand as a child, but as a kid I saw other very similar paddleball paddles, and a few years ago looking for a paddleball paddle (and no, not for playing the ball) I got a few Fli-backs from ebay, since they were a prevailing brand there.

There seemed to be two kinds of paddleball paddles, both with ones I remember from the childhood and also among those several Fli-back's I bought. One kind was a thin very flimsy paddles not really suitable for spanking anyone past 5 years of age. Hand spanking would do a more impressive job. The other kind were more solid paddles. If you look on ebay, the first kind of Fli-back paddles are those with a wooden look, and the second are red-painted paddles. Not all red-painted paddles are created quite equal, but they normally are more solid than the flimsy kind.

@JohnHill57, what kind was yours?

My first spanking paddle in the childhood used at age 10-11 was in fact quite similar to the red Fli-back kind, except it was not Fli-back but some off-brand paddle and was not red, but just yellow-coated wood (may be plywood). It was however quite similar in size and heft and the wallop it packed.

The closest however I ever later saw to it was not Fli-back, but Cracker Barrel paddle

After seeing CB paddle some years ago I really wished to buy it because it was so similar to the paddleball spanking paddle I used to get spanked with as a younger kid, so lots of memories, but when I went online trying to find it, turned out Cracker Barrel stopped to sell it because people were buying it to spank kids, so CB pulled it out of sales.

Another paddleball paddle that was suitable for spankings was "The Paddle Ball King Paddle"

that suspiciously also went marked "Sold Out". Either it was pulled out of sales for the same reason, or was sold out because it was in great demand, for reasons one may only guess at. Characteristically, one of the top links when looking for "The Paddle Ball King Paddle" in Google, pictures it with the title "Time to spank".

I've been on both sides of that paddle. As a child (1950s) they were almost universal among my friend's family's. I would say most of us (baby boomers) were introduced to it as the first implement employed by parents. Later (1970s) they got thin and still worked as a first implement but not much more. I found a Toys R Us white Geoffrey plastic one. I was told it stung much worse than the wood one.

Never been spanked by the fli-back paddle but my wife's first implement was an old wooden oversized ping pong paddle. It was pretty effective until it broke. Today when its time for a spanking she prefers to use leather tawse. It is extremely effective and as she likes to say … 'gets the job done quickly'.

I bought one some years ago, but nowadays they are manufactured in a material so thin that they break easily.

My wife was spanked with the old style (red heavier version) and she said it hurt like hell. I don't remember what happened to it but by the time I met her in high school it had been replaced with a slightly larger homemade version that hung in the linen closet.

In her words " my mom could scaled my ass through a pair of Levi's with that thing but bare butt or on panties was the worst and burned like your ass was on fire"

The originals----with the little rubber ball on a rubber band strand really did not cut it as a proper spanking paddle. Made with either balsa wood or some concoction of glue and sawdust..rather worthless as a real spanking paddle for any misbehaving child age 5 up even on a bare bottom. The parental spanking hand was way more effective.

I remember those paddle-balls when I was young in the 1950's. The rubber band never seemed to last all that long, and we all knew our parents would find another use for the paddle.

Several of my friends had parents who put those to good use when they were no longer suitable for there ORIGINAL PURPOSE! They testified to they effectiveness as spanking implements! One buddy of mine, Jimmy, showed me, one afternoon, the state of his bottom following a paddling his Mom had given him that morning. To this day I can recall how much his scarlet butt cheeks glowed!!!

The red fly back was my mother's go to implement from the time I was around 8 until I got my last one at 15. Quite the Stinger, 10 or 15 swats kept you sore for quite a while

Thanks to this thread I now have the right name - not fly-back, but fli-back so as to trade mark it. Found some history about it https://www.ncmuseumofhistory.org/blog/fli-back-to-nc Have to wonder about all the backsides that felt it's unadvertised use..

I did not get spanked with one but I remember my friend Joey's mom had three of those paddles she glued together and that was HER spanking paddle. How do i know that?, One day I went over to see Joey. We were all like family. They lived in a small apartment house in Brooklyn so her door was always open (before crime was as rampant as it is now). I walked down the hallway to his apartment and walked in just in time to see his mom pull him over her knee on an armless kitchen chair, his legs flailing as she reached between the elastic band and pull his underwear down to his knees. Then she took HER spanking paddle and rain down I think about thirty spanks with the paddle down on his pale buttocks which went from white to pink to red then dark red. This was one of the quickest spankings I saw. She was really pissed off at him to spank him like that. When he was released, he was rubbing his red bottom between cries.

This brings back a memory. There was a Fli-Back paddle, absent the ball, at my grandmother’s house. It belonged to an aunt who had been an elementary school teacher before she married. It had a number of names of the unfortunates whose seats it had warmed inscribed on it with a ballpoint pen.

@stingr I did not get spanked with one but I remember my friend Joey's mom had three of those paddles she glued together and that was HER spanking paddle.

Interesting and clever to make a stronger and better paddle by gluing three of them together. First I've heard of doing that and she must have been a believer in using the paddle!

Hi Red Devil, Yes she WAS a believer in using that spanking paddle. It was during the early 1970s when this type of discipline was an accepted form of punishment. NOT like today. I think if the paddle was much more utilized this world would be a much more respectful place. :-)

I do remember my mom using a fli-back paddle on me. Very likely it was the first paddle she used on me. In retrospect, its value was more psychological than physical. Scary and loud but I don't remember it having much sting. It wasn't long before she adopted an old ping-pong paddle we had. It was heavier and had a real sting. The fli-back was a very common tool used by many of my friends parents as well.

My sister and I each had a ping pong paddle with the ball attached to a rubber band when we were kids, but they were plastic and we were never spanked with them.
