I was at the World Cup epee event in Vancouver this weekend and noticed that several of the French fencers, Jeannet, Robeiri, etc., were using what looked like a standard french grip that was bent at a pretty severe angle. Is this just a french grip stuck on a bent tang? has anyone used one of these? where can i get one???
Epee is the Louis Vuitton bag of fencing: only the best can get it, and the rest of the masses must content themselves with cheap knockoffs (sabre, foil)
To not recognize the power of the French grip is to be in denial
Does anyone have a picture of such a bent grip? I'd like to see what it looks like.
Also, from what I can gather, the bent grips are all the Negrini SchermaSport ones. But even if you can bend the grip, how do you bend the tang of the blade?
