Maybe I will just have to quit fighting the urge to rub it in that DFP got his bootie handed to him at the Houston NAC. 
edit: oh and don't worry...I'll be beating him with a stick soon enough. He now has a target on the front of his jacket  | nononono... it wasnt a ding, it was a compliment I believe you misinterpreted me.

And yes, dear, it does take more than 750g - I put my whole weight behind it.
As for someone else's testers - I can and will use as many as I can get my tip to - you know, have to keep testing just to make sure  Quote: |

| My preference for a stiff blade over the softer variety also goes a long way in hitting all the right spots.

| While I'm sure you must be proud, there's something to be said for a man with finesse on the piste…
So often I receive touches that are so gentle, I can’t help but smile at my opponent’s skill and knowledge of the sport.
These type of matches are always best, as it brings out my one-upmanship.

Although she always does seem to know right where her point is and where the target is.
Well, I'm sorry we lost another one guys, but I'm glad you at least enjoy the new weapon. But as someone who got the chance to fence all three weapons before i made any decisions, I dont really understand how you can like it better than sabre. There is nothing more fun then backing someone off the strip right as you land a flying touch from five feet away. That's sabre.
But hey, what do I know.

| Well, I'm slowly shifting from epee to foil.. My coach says I'm doing much better at foil than epee and my results show that too. WHile the new timings don't mean anything to me and right of way isn't too bad, sometimes I feel like a foil (no pun) wrapped baked potato when I am wearing a lame'. (I guess that just means the extra pounds have to go!) | |
