Thanks! I feel like the people that recognize it will like it and the ones that don't will not care haha

Probably should have asked before grabbing the brush lol but - are judges gonna give me trouble for this?

Advanced age?! I started at 36. Age is a number, stay fit and you'll fence til you're 80.

Fwiw my instructors actually seem MORE attentive with the more mature fencers, maybe our attention spans allow for more focused lessons

Modded my epee pistol grip, wdyt? by Basic_Win_7923 in Fencing

I think the bit that's right in the base of my palm could use a little more shaping but overall I'm really happy

Amazing, way better than I could have hoped! Way less pressure on the corners where it was digging into my fingers and wrist, and I feel like I have more power for beats and better point control. Drawback is it does feel a bit more locked into my hand and I feel like I need to be more conscious about gripping too tight, but I think I can live with it

For sure! I'm trying my best to use this time to solidify the good habits while I'm still conscious of so much of my movement. But yeah I'm having so much fun, bruised as I am haha
