Next Generation German Point

For YEARS fencers and armorers have had to put up with the 2 primary faults in German foil points...screws getting smashed flat because they project out from teh sides of the barrel, and tips jamming because the barrel's so thin it dents easily.



Now FWF has elected to solve those problems by the very simple method of increasing the thickness of the barrel (by maybe 1/2 mm). The screws are now flush with the barrel surface like a French point, and I cannot see anyone delivering a hit hard enough to dent this puppy to the point where the tip would jam.



H.O.M. Fencing has switched over to this barrel for all German foil points.



The difference in weight between the new and old barrels is 9/10th of a gram...basically nil....
