The patent recognizes the work of founder and CEO, Fredi Brodmann, for a design and structure that is "configured to provide a glove-like fit to the player's hand to allow for fast and easy transition from a forehand to a backhand and to provide more direct control of a ball during play".

The BrodmannBlades™ is the first major innovation in the game of table tennis, or ping pong, in over a hundred years. The blades, or hitting surfaces, are worn like a glove on either hand. Players make forehand and backhand shots by using the front and back of their hands.
"This is important because it protects our company from imitators as our product continues to gain traction with players looking for a change of pace and a good time," said Brodmann. "While this is an important business milestone, I'm most pleased by the joy the product brings to players of all ages and skill levels."
BrodmannBlades™ products including the flagship gift set, ball belt and others are available online at The Sports Authority, MC Sports, Modell's Sporting Goods, Olympia Sports, Dunham's Sports, Fogdog Sports, and Teamstore. They all make great holiday gifts.
