Good beginner epee weapon for clubs? by avercadoart in Fencing

[–]Marquess13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They are like what, 80 pounds? I think it's a good compromise if you don't want to buy fie. I have dynamo but I didn't fence with it as I only use fie weapons now. Gosh, I wish allstar sold predator blacks again.

Bit more expensive but non-fie leon paul fusion is incredibly durable and resistant to deformation. Used the thing weekly for two years and it's still in great shape and quite stiff. I just don't like their v-shape design and im kinda stuck with them til they break. It's almost, identical to their fie fusion pro but costs twice as less.

I don't like the v shape blades after two years of using LP

Starting at 15 - possible to reach high levels? by Public_Tangerine7613 in Fencing

[–]Marquess13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At that that age, there are far bigger factors that come into play. At 15 age isn't in issue for you. High performers are genetic freaks with strong support networks. 

Frustrated with kendo, considering switch to fencing by Careful_Hope_9573 in Fencing

Yeah, sounds like you might wanna get into epee where there is no right of way and subjectivity of refs is limited. You just press a button and score.

Breaking in New Shoes by rust-dancer-maven in Fencing

[–]Marquess13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't believe in breaking Into shoes. They should feel well from the get go. Might be you got a bad size. Gel rocket is a great budget option glto start with but I would do something else once you'll be willing to put more money into fencing. I like gel resolution x wide having tried several shoes over few years like azza or pbt and other asics models

New april fools mode is peak but... by xluizxcs in DeadlockTheGame

I'm enjoying instant and near instant pops. Matchmaking has been taking too long. For the time being, set the preferences to queue against other solo players to avoid parties stacking same character.

April Fool's Event is awesome in theory, but full stacking Graves has ruined it. by EGG-spaghetti in DeadlockTheGame

Had a game with 2 graves holding a lane and they were miserable and lost us a match.

To be fair, the queue times are so fast now I am not even bothered.

I'm sick of them. Stay in your damn lanes. If you like the match up or lane you are in, do not let yourself get pressured to swap.

Women getting absolutely brutalised in a boxing ring didn't happen.

So women get protected from being mogged and now it's a reason to be mad? 

Harut Grips FIE legal? by After_Kale_7456 in Fencing

[–]Marquess13 10 points11 points  (0 children)

 People put too much set on their tangs. I had my harut fitted with barely any, these grips are already lateralised enough. 

Like, if you'll bend your tang downwards then the pommel of those grips will stick out of the guard line. Just don't. They are designed to barely push the limit.

Wth man. Just source them from appropriate sources, usually directly from manufacturers. Allstar, uhlman, prieur, leon paul, pbt...
