$315 USD... for a broken sword.
#59
If anyone has recommendations for shops to buy a practice foil from, I'd like them. Googling is good, but I'd also enjoy advice from anyone currently practicing or purchasing/repairing. There is a fencing club here at State College, Penn State University Park where I attend (Go PSU Engineers!) which I enjoy, and would like to get some of my own equipment (and clothing).

CAS Iberia had a Practical Fencing Foil which looks like the fencing club house equipment I've been using. It looks like a french grip from here.

I would have bought from CAS Iberia on the spot as an impulse buy, but I had difficulty with their online system. It requires some dealer membership? or some features aren't working? Or does it require orders to be phoned in? I do not know. It is not pointing me to local dealers (this feature is not functional yet) nor accepting "add to cart" without requiring dealer membership login information (and also restating this feature is not functional yet).

Additional Question, with backround I am having some trouble with the french grip. Apparently I've been using a left handed grip club equipment in my right hand that further complicates matters. Should my palm be facing mostly up, sideways, or some diagonal in-between?
