I love thud.
That said, there are some implements - usually leather paddles (but only specific ones) and heavier wood paddles, that are wider. Smaller or stingy wood paddles are no good. Reserved for punishment and playful play only. For a nice long good girl spanking I prefer hands, OTK, and any thuddy implement that can be used OTK. I loveeeeeee Red Stingers - which Cody from Colorado Spankers makes. I also like the straps Wood Paddles makes!
Overall - I love to play hard, stingy or thuddy, just prefer thuddy. The harder the spanking, the more excited I get.
Right now I've got someone for discipline, a very close friend (possible boyfriend?!) So right now I am just looking for fun spanking friends
And remember...thud.
