There is a huge difference in physical abuse and corrective, physical discipline

Exactly, as a father of six, one-size-fits-all does not work

In my house there were three rules that guaranteed a quick corrective, physical discipline

1. Lying
2. Hitting sibling out of anger
3. Temper tantrum (passive rebellion)

Lying was also the number one spanking offense in our household and all of the boys knew it.
