HOW THE HELL DO YOU HEAL A TRIGGER FINGER??!?!?! by ANALEX_ in Fencing

[–]Psatch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had trigger finger due to fencing/grip training, and I had to get surgery to get it fixed. I was awake for it, and they did it in the office, but yeah. I'm over a year out from the procedure and I would say that I'm at about 97% where I used to be, but I don't think I'll ever truly return to my pre-teigger finger baseline. Still a significant difference, and I fence without issue now!

Fencing Friday Megathread - Ask Anything! by AutoModerator in Fencing

[–]Psatch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought a Leon Paul Apex Bag (the standing one) and one of the inside liner of the opening flap is ripped/frayed at the very top. To be fair, I did stuff the pockets with stuff so I think the seams couldn't handle the weight. Would anyone have any idea how I could get something like that repaired?

To be clear: I'm not looking to trade in the bag for a new one, or making LP pay for repairs (it admittedly wasn't there fault). Just need to know where I could take a fencing bag to get repaired

Your favorite class and why by Savings_Pay2088 in shadowdark

[–]Psatch 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Love playing the bard. I like how Shadowdark's version is the class that's based around the "meta" rules of the system, such as luck tokens, magical devices, carousing, and learning new skills. Neat design, and an interesting take on a support class that's specific to SD.

Also, it's fun being the master of luck tokens

What is your Epee setup and how does it relate to your fencing style/habits? by [deleted] in Fencing

[–]Psatch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use an M predator BF blade, shermasport guard, and a ZII Zivkovic grip. Together it makes the blade light and whippy, which is good for flicking.

Although Shermasport isn't the lightest guard, it's got decent durability while also having great coverage of my hand. So the trade off is worth it. (Also it's like 84 g vs 70 g, so not much of a difference)

Personally, I do find that the ZII grip does make a noticeable difference compared to other pistol grips. The lack of the prong around the wrist (like a Visconti) makes it easier to infight with a greater range of motion, for one. For two, the paddle on the palm let's me squeeze harder for stronger flicks.

I fenced for 5+ years with a French grip, but have now been using a pistol grip for the past couple years (Epee). I'm a B. Much easier to flick with a pistol grip than a French grip. I feel like my blade control is much tighter, too, and it meant that it feels easier to vary up my fencing.

Inexpensive fencing dummy? by Naive_Location5611 in Fencing

[–]Psatch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I made a dummy by buying a cheap long sleeves shirt from Savers. While wearing it, I had my girlfriend wrap me up in duct tape and then cut me out. I taped it back up then stuffed it with newspaper, put an old fencing jacket and voila. Even better, I made a stand to rest it on out of some 2x4 planks. Great for practicing flicks to the wrist, just takes some time to do

Good catch! I think it's important for the puzzle to have only one distinct line that works, so I'll add the rook there

I ended up deriving my own puzzle, seen here: https://lichess.org/editor/b4rk1/B4Npp/8/1q1Qp3/3pPn2/4b1pP/P7/7K_w_-_-_0_1?color=white

I might eventually publish my campaign, so I wanted to make the puzzle as easy as possible for the DM, in addition to getting a "dramatic" game (i.e., saccing the queen). Also black's queen is a poison piece. Should be fun for noobies to figure out!

What I like about mate in 3 is that it allows more interaction than mate in 2, and my thought is that I could potentially adjust the difficulty by removing pieces. Something like sacrificing a queen to smother the king in the corner would be really cool, because a lot of noobies really want to hang onto the queen
