Help Me decide - French or Pistol - relatively experienced epee fencer
TLDR: Fencer that likes control of the blade before hitting (which I am working on). What weapon is best?
Hey All, I am a relatively experienced fencer (I will be fencing D3 in college next year). I currently fence pistol grip, but am open to fencing French grip, and am wondering which one would best suit my fencing style. I tend to favor moves that are closer, as I sometimes have trouble committing when I do not have control of the blade (which I am actively working on). I'm also quite good at having dexterity at close range, which I like. I also have developed de quervains tenosynovitis and TFCC damage in my wrist (likely from fencing and typing at school), so if there is one that is better for your wrist that would be great too!
