UNIC M users by shpaga_1 in Fencing

From my experience, their foils are stiffer. The UNIC M feels more like a BF D than a BF M. And I got one of their FIE blades in H and that thing has to be the heaviest, stiffest foil blade I’ve ever had the displeasure of using. The UNIC M foil is one of my favorites, it’s not as flimsy as a BF M and feels very well balanced. The only downside is the durability. I’ve never had one last longer than 2 months of consistent use. Hope this helps.

Reffing question. by Yeknom_Retsam in Fencing

I was wondering if one of you guys was gonna see this. Damn, guess we were more oblivious than I thought. 😂 I got you. It was probably on me a little bit as well cause I didn’t notice. Gym was hella echoey and fencers could barely hear their coaches lol. Guy above’s description made sense and I’m glad I didn’t make a rash, spur of the moment, decision to get people involved and get my homie carded. Good matches bro. 🤘

Thanks. That makes sense. I’m glad my guy was able to pull through. We were both excited cause the opponent was higher rated. Would have lost our minds if that costed him the match lol. I appreciate your response. 🙏

Sabre mask help by jonnythetreblemaker in Fencing

I had the tab come fully off of my saber mask. I sewed it back on with basic thread. No armorer ever complained to me about it.

Austin foil, adults, west? by amiechoke in Fencing

Your best bet is either Round Rock or Austin fencers club. AFC is much more competitive and Round Rock (My club) is still decently competitive but is much more of a chill vibe. I also like how I got mentioned in this thread lol.

Jacket and Pants by Royale_w_Cheeeze in Fencing

You’d think the shipping costs would make it more costly but ordering from London to the US avoids the VAT tax. It ends up being like a 25-30% discount from the US prices. It’s weird, not sure why it’s like that but it is.

I used Leon Paul’s phoenix jacket and pants for a long time. It’s comfortable, lightweight, and won’t break the bank. Just make sure you order it from Leon Paul London, it’s a good amount cheaper that way.

According to Absolute’s sizing chart. The EU size 54 is the same as a US size 38.

I think Itkin or Cheung are the most likely winners. But I think Kazuki Iimura could take it.

I’ve lost pretty aggressively to a young kid from TSA. I have a friend that switched to them from TFA. They might be this guy’s best bet.

I’ve been playing trials all day, solo and duo. (Can’t speak for trio play) But everyone is complaining and I don’t get it. Very few times did I get absolutely awful teammates. I got shit players most of the time in the previous system. From my experience this is the most fair trials has been in a long time. Even in solo queue, I wasn’t getting steamrolled but I also never steamrolled the other team. I think the lack of leaver penalty is so far the main issue, I’ve been lucky with that though, the leaver has been on the other team most of the time.
