The Russell “Ban‑Ban Ball” paddle refers to a paddle‑ball style toy that the Russell company sold in some markets (particularly Japan) in the 1970s under the name Ban Ban Ball (in other regions a similar toy was called Ding Bats). This product was part of Russell’s broader range of simple skill toys beyond its more famous yo‑yos, and it typically consisted of a handheld paddle with a rubber ball attached by an elastic string that players would try to hit repeatedly — a classic paddle‑ball toy format that dates back to the early 20th century. The Ban Ban Ball version was released during that decade as part of Russell’s export and promotional offerings.
