← Sports & EntertainmentIf a fencer initiates a lunge with a delayed tactile pressure on their foil grip, which consequence follows?
A)Faster parry timing response
B)Slower blade extension velocity✓
C)Increased riposte target accuracy
D)Earlier disengage preparation onset
💡 Explanation
A delayed tactile pressure leads to slower blade extension velocity because the force generated by the arm muscles is not efficiently transferred to the foil tip due to poor grip timing; therefore, the lunge lacks speed and precision, rather than allowing the fencer to parry faster.
