Using the flat paddle with the small rubber ball attached at the center via an elastic string, the player tries to hit the ball with the paddle in succession as many times as possible. The paddle (sometimes called a bolo bat [1]) is similar in size and shape to a table tennis racket. It is usually made from either wood or plastic.
A spanking paddle is an implement used to strike a person on the buttocks. The act of spanking a person with a paddle is known as "paddling". A paddling may be for punishment (normally of a student at school in the United States), for fun, or as an initiation or hazing ritual.
Racket sports (or racquet sports) are games in which players use a racket or paddle to hit a ball or other object. [1] Rackets consist of a handled frame with an open hoop that supports a network of tightly stretched strings.
To play paddle ball, it is necessary to have a paddle (resembling a racquetball paddle) that is no longer than 18 inches and no wider than 9.5 inches. The paddle ball is made of rubber and is the size of a softball. Air holes in the ball enable less friction in its travel. Paddleballs come in yellow and light green. [1]
If a small drum carder is being used, the bat is the length of the circumference of the big drum and is often the finished product. A big drum carder, though, will then take that bat and turn it into roving, by stretching it thinner and thinner, until it is the desired thickness (often rovings are the thickness of a wrist).

Basque pelota (Basque: pilota, Spanish: pelota vasca, French: pelote basque) is the name for a variety of court sports played with a ball using one's hand, a racket, a wooden bat or a basket, against a wall (frontis or fronton) or, more traditionally, with two teams face to face separated by a line on the ground or a net.
The differences among different types of table tennis rackets are often based on control, spin, speed, and power. Players should choose their racket based on their playing style, skill level, and personal preferences. Though the official ITTF term is "racket", [1] the US generally uses the term "paddle", while Europe and Asia use the term "bat".
