| So not only does LP make awsome stuff, they can also know what I'm going to think before I think it. AWSOME! | |

| Here's an idea to work on:
The pistol grips on my Epees keep wearing holes in my bag. Do you think you could develop some kind of covering for these grips so that this doesn't happen? Maybe some kind of smoothe, strap-on cap? | |

| Or a large PVC pipe cap.
Or a small plastic bowl.
Improvise!

| I would like to see more training aids for fencing. A recent trip too a local sporting goods store, i was astonished by the amount of training devices for different sports. especially Golf. Been thinking of spending the money for a targetspeed to help with my footwork/blade drills at home. It about the only option for fencing Ive seen. | |

| Barry- I'd like to get a chance to handle the LP lexan sabre masks, both with x-Change and conventional bibs. I know masks are a pain to transport, but samples that stay at the booth would be nice.
-B[/QUOTE
i was told that the X change masks were not legal but when i fenced in a wc half the fencers there were using them. is it legal by FIE standards and not usfa or have i just been missenformed? | |

There is a USFA rule that prevents the use of bibs that are removable but this was to stop the old bibs (not made by LP) that were held on by poppers. The X change mask is subjected to the same tests as any FIE sabre masks (you can hang a ton off the bib!).
We will have a reasonable stock of x change masks and also a small stock of x change lexan masks. Come early though as we expect them to sell out. We will maintain at least one sample of each item for people to look at. | |

Any ideas on pricing, and how sizing compares to the Adidas sizes?
(Sorry for threadjacking. I didn't feel the need to start yet another shoe thread and I couldn't find any info on either of the Leon Paul websites.)

| I have not received any comment/criticism about my idea of a universal bodywire, so i'm posting it again.
The current bayonet wire has a "pin" and a "disc" fastened perpendicular to it, which when twisted inside the socket, presses against the underside of the "ledge". How about adding another "disc" and ledge, to accomodate the A,B,C lines for epee, along with a crocodile clip attached to A at the other end.
The same type of wire and socket could conceivably be used for all three weapons, without worries of the sockets sticking out of the guards, and getting into the way. Add in the advantages of the bayonet design.
Comments anyone?
