Junior equipment question

**Hitman** · 04-03-2001 08:15 AM

Since I am getting back into fencing I would like my daughter tolearn as well, of course she is interested but not quite as much as I am.

What I want to know is this...she is 11 and about 56 inches tall. What size foild would she need to use, adult or junior model?
Thanks,
Chris

I would go with a #2 (32") blade; depending on her hand size you may want to go with a smaller grip, too.
