How to Hold the Pistol Grip | Fencing Tutorial [Bladework Style] (Foil, Epee, Saber)

Hi all, here is a quick video shot ages ago (sorry for how grainy it is), talking about different ways and reasons to hold the pistol grip. Let us know what you think, and please show us how you like to hold it!
Cheers

Nice video! Helps my hand/wrist a lot especially when holding a heavier sword.

Is Garozzo hold his grip like that style?

Hey, thanks for the video! I use a PBT S grip (epee) and was wondering about trying different grips. Is the issue the size of the stem? What about that Visconti helps you place your fingers to manipulate the point in 3D?

[@S-classFencing]

Yes, I'd say the dimensions of the stem, where your thumb and index finger pinch (how thin, or how elliptical VS rectangular), will determine how you can hold the grip. In my case, I prefer the thin elliptical shape of the uhlman/allstar/absolute visconti

[@S-classFencing]

Size small, uninsulated, of course

Does it also apply to epee ?
