History

In the 1960s and early 1970s, my father, Gyula Apatini, spearheaded the formation of the New York Hungaria Table Tennis Team, as documented on this website: Hungaria Radio Ping Pong Gyula. During this period, he also orchestrated an extraordinary table tennis exhibition held in the lobby of the World Trade Center.

This event featured preeminent table tennis players from the United States, the Dominican Republic, and Trinidad, captivating an audience of over 1,000 spectators with their exceptional performances in exhibition matches.

As the culmination of the event, my father, Gyula Apatini, at the age of approximately 55, engaged in a highly anticipated match against one of the top female players of that era, famously known as the “Battle of the Sexes” in table tennis. Against seemingly insurmountable odds, he emerged triumphant, defeating the accomplished young athlete.

It was after this groundbreaking event that the concept for the Progressive Weighted Aerobic Ping Pong Exercise Racquet was conceived. The idea remained dormant for over four decades before I, Jules Apatini, brought it to fruition. I patented the invention in 2016, with the patent officially granted in 2019.
