Revamping my weapon! —Advice?

Posted 2 months ago
So I have a pistol grip epee and I’m pretty sure it’s a small size. But I was talking with a teammate and he was using a Zivkovic grip and he let me hold it and holy crap was it comfortable. Much more so than mine (which is just a standard Absolute Visconti non insulated grip). So I’m thinking of buying one. Anyone who’s used them, pros and cons?

Specifically, I’m looking at these two:

I’m also in the market for a french grip since I want to experiment with that again (I’ve always used pistol grips). I’m most likely getting this one but if you have anything to add, go ahead.

Oh, hey, did I ever post this? It’s me being shitty at my sport.

I mean it’s me in my first DE at Charm City in December.

Despite my lackluster DE, I’m really proud of Charm City. I helped! We set everything up and took everything down in record time and we had tons of people from UMBC sign up! AND I WASN’T THE ONLY GIRL FROM THE CLUB TO COMPETE. There were four! Seriously, past two years I was the only girl to do USFA at all.

There are literally circles on my ankles from the epee tips of my teammates. I’m switching to foil.

This happens to me whenever I wear shorter socks. Just wear thicker knee high socks.

Yes. And then they come down to Maryland to try and get easier ratings because our tournaments are smaller…
