PIL, one of my favourite moves of all time in foil. Difficult to implement but when executed can be so rewarding. Heck, watch the semi-final match from 2019 at WCHs where Marcus Mepstead for Son Young Ki. There was some marvellous PIL in that bout.

[@zagteam442]

Id love to see some additional explanation about how and why the PIL is working in these different situations. I would find thay very informative

[@DrTodd13]

I saw some small circling but in other cases it looked like the PIL blade didn't move and inexplicably the parry missed.

[@alexthegreat38]

Was expecting more Mepstead if I'm being honest. Great video though. Landing PIL is almost more satisfying when it's one light lol, like the Avola v Garozzo one

[@rylandelap4734]

Came here to make sure the Mepstead one was here. You know it is a good line when the one one the receiving end has their soul partially leave their body from disappointment lmao

[@SlicerSabre]

Was expecting at least 10 from Mepstead tbh...

[@benpeltola1364]

I was hoping eight of them would be from that one Akhmatkhuzin vs Cadot bout 😆

God that was wild, nobody is ever going to beat that

Bruh your channel isn’t that far away from 10k :)

[@OlympicFoil]

Yeah it's exciting 😃 I'm really dragging myself over the line, it'll get there eventually 😭

[@hiddenbunny7205]

Is it still a point in line when you lunge into prep?

[@OlympicFoil]

You can do a lunge with point in line if you still keep a good point in line

[@ehvlwkrma]

I can’t get the first one…. why the hell left won the point??😮
