COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. — Solid traction on the metal fencing strip can mean the  difference between scoring a bout-winning touch and losing your footing on the strip at a decisive moment.

That’s why USA Fencing, the national governing body of fencing in the United States, has taken a leap into the future by signing a landmark partnership with Edge Spray, a revolutionary non-slip traction spray that promises to enhance the performance of fencers of all ages.

The creators behind Edge Spray want to give fencers that extra edge through their non-slip traction spray. The product is deceptively simple — just “Spray to Play.” The formula dries within seconds without leaving any stickiness or dust. And better yet, it lasts for hours, ensuring fencers have improved traction round after round. (Though for maximum effectiveness, Edge Spray recommends respraying between rounds.)

But while using Edge Spray is simple, the technology itself and the science behind it is quite complex.

Unlike traditional methods that only temporarily increase traction, Edge Spray's formula works by enhancing the grip of rubber soles on indoor athletic surfaces. The biodegradable green solvent used in the spray accelerates drying time while being VOC-exempt, ensuring that it’s both eco-friendly and compliant with EPA Safer Choice standards.

As our members know, fencing is a high-intensity sport that requires split-second decisions, sharp movements and a stable footing. The advanced non-slip technology of Edge Spray is designed to provide fencers with the ideal grip on the fencing strip, thus preventing accidents and enhancing performance.

“Fencing is a sport of precision and balance,” says Phil Andrews, CEO of USA Fencing. “Having a reliable grip is paramount. Our partnership with Edge Spray underlines our commitment to providing our athletes with the best possible conditions to excel in their sport. This isn't just about performance — it's about safety, and we're excited to introduce this technology to our athletes."

As a result of the partnership, USA Fencing members will have exclusive access to Edge Spray products, as well as a 20% discount on their first order. To take advantage of the discount, members can visit edgespray.com/USFA and use the discount code “USFA” at checkout.
