Cartel Epee Pommel

[JonTong]

I use the wooden epee handle by Prieur or Cartel and I "post" quite a lot. I am think of purchasing new pommels for my weapon. Have any one tried these:

Do anyones know its weight? And do anyone knows the weight of an allstar epee pommel (I currently use the allsat one)?

I've seen similar and am not a fan. I also post, but I use the PBT grips and pommels. I like them quite a bit.

Thanks TK, but I believe the PBT one doesn't work too fine with the wooden one because the wooden one is thicker. I am still trying to find a solution.

I use the Schermasport 2 peice pommel and I find it works great. I use the oversized coach Reith grips so they should probably fit onto the grips you use as well. The only grips I have ever seen that are thicker than the ones I use are the LP Carbon Fiber grips!

My solution in general to this sort of problem is a couple layers of athletic tape, since the grip is narrower than I'd like anyway (and the metal handle is slippery).

Hi CF,

Sounds very atteactive and thanks for your reply. In fact I have a few 2 piece pommels which my italian friend brought but since they dont fit my wooden handle I just leave them in my tool box. Would you mind post a few photos of your weapon so that I can have a close look on the coach Reith grips. BTW, regarding the grips, can I purchase them online? If yes, where can I find them. I am currently staying in Hong Kong.
