12in Impressions Slapper/heart

When a couple wants a light impact tool with a bit of visual character, a leather slapper covers the job. The 12in Impressions Slapper/Heart is built for that: a 12.5-inch leather paddle with a striking end that makes a sharp crack on contact and leaves heart-shaped impressions on skin.

Hand-Stitched Leather Flaps

The striking end is made of two flaps of tanned cowhide leather, each with three hearts cut out of it. The flaps separate at the top, so they move apart on the swing rather than landing as one solid strip. Each piece is hand-stitched, and the stitching carries through the handle, where the most stress falls during use.

Leather like this should be kept dry and wiped clean after use.

Handle Length and Weight

The paddle measures 12.5 inches in length with a 2.13-inch diameter. At 0.24 pounds, its weight keeps the swing easy to control, and the stitched leather handle gives a steady grip from the first strike to the last.

Nickel-Free Hardware and Limited Warranty

A nylon cord holds the components together, and the metal hardware is nickel-free. An RBSE glass batten is part of the construction as well. Sportsheets backs the paddle with a Limited Lifetime Warranty, which covers defective product. If a replacement is unavailable, the company substitutes a similar product of similar function.
