Estoc Screwless Epee Point

I ordered this tip from swordmasters with a leonpaul fie blade, and have been happy since. I like seeing the judges looking all around my tip, then finally realizing there aern't any screws and ending with the comment "its about time they made these." Im rather brutal on equipment, and this barrel has recieve massive amounts of hits, beat attacks and so on, but the compression action is still the smoothest ive ever felt, due to the thinner(i haven't been able to bend it either) and isolated tip spindle. On the occasion i do forget to put loc-tite on the tip to barrel threads which can result in the contact spring not being able to reach the wire block. my best advise is to soften your pressure spring, due to shorter inside barrel length, and put loc-tite on your threads. Also you can get away with cutting your contact springs in half.
