If these Brodmann Blades catch on, you can bet that the game of ping pong will change dramatically. “By moving the front and back of the paddle away from each other and removing the grip altogether, the Blades are able to offer a glove-like fit, and promise a faster and more intuitive game, more spin on the ball, and superior control.” I’m going to have to try these paddles on for size before I make further commentary about them. Price at $100, we may have to rely on the hard-core amateurs to give ’em a spin. (Mind you, $100 buys you a set of two paddles, with four logo-adorned balls, terrycloth wristbands, and a zip-up carrying case.)
