    The grippy glove isn't worth it in my opinion. Put one layer of tip-tape on the grip itself and you have the same or better performance for whatever 2 inches of tip tape costs.

    except if your fencing epee...

    where taping your grip is a no-no (legality wise), and to a lesser degree, why give your opponent more surface area on which to register a valid touch?...

    If in epee, use a rubber, preferably Allstar, handle and use a Santelli 3 weapon deerskin glove. It is the perfect combo for a Frenchie epee.
