It's the last week of October and we still don't have an announcement of the March NAC. We need an explanation from USA Fencing about what's going on and why they don't have a location yet.

Is there anyone that sells a Leon Paul Foil socket look alike? I don’t particularly care for the standard Foil socket as I hate those things with passion but I’d rather not pay the Leon Paul tax, especially living in the US.

I have seen their fencing apparatus that looks amazing, anyone had any experience buying or using their stuff?

So, from what research I've done, people recommend either Negrini or Leon Paul as the best bodycords for épée. But if you guys had to choose between these two, where would you throw your money at?
