Fleche Y-shape S-2000 regulation sabre blade

Summary: Pretty sweet...July 24th, 2003
I've gotten to play with two different Y-shaped blades.
I'm impressed. I really didn't think that the Y-section would make a noticable difference. I was wrong. Much lighter and easier to control than a rectangular blade. I expected it to be whippier than it was, but most of the stiffness in the blade is retained. Control was precise enough, even with point action. (hey, foil habits die hard) I still haven't been able to play with the blades enough to determine how durable they will be. But I'm looking forward to the opportunity.
Bottom line: a nice step up, and not frighteningly expensive.
