    Lightest tip/barrel set for foil?

    I'm looking for the lightest tip/barrel combo to help avoid point lag. I've heard of some light barrels cracking easily but that's not a big problem right now as I'd like to experiment.

    Any and all suggestions welcome!

    The differences in weight are tiny, less than half a gram.

    Nod, it seems like common sense. Asking as it has been noted on other forums that a certain barrel/tip combo is preferable for flick ripostes under the new timings due to the weight. I was wondering about going the other direction for finer point control.

    If it's negligible, so be it!
