Hammacher Schlemmer Introduces Revolutionary Table Tennis Paddles From BrodmannBlades

NEW YORK, March 17 /PRNewswire/ -- Continuing its 162-year history of offering the Best, the Only and the Unexpected, Hammacher Schlemmer has selected BrodmannBlades™, maker of the patent-pending, double-bladed ping pong paddles that are worn like mittens.

The paddle represents the first major innovation in the sport of table tennis since two immigrants named Hammacher and Schlemmer opened their first store in 1848. The mitt's unconventional design eliminates the handle and spreads apart the front and back of the paddles, allowing your hand to slip between them and hold onto an ergonomically designed thumb groove.  The paddle becomes a natural extension of your arm, resulting in greater ball control, faster volleys, an improved backhand, and more spin.  

The product set consists of two paddles that are worn on either hand, 4 balls, 2 hand bands and a sturdy carrying case.  It will be featured in the Hammacher Schlemmer Father's Day catalog and is available online now.  Go to http://www.hammacher.com/Product/78529?promo=search for more information, photos, and video and to purchase the product.

"We are honored to be included in Hammacher Schlemmer because they are the best of the best when it comes to bringing uniquely designed, high quality products to consumers," said inventor and designer, Alfred Brodmann.  "Chosen for the Father's Day catalog is special because I conceived of the product while playing with my son."
