Often we fence and perform the plays, but have trouble getting them to work to our satisfaction. Sometimes you must consider your mind along with the physical movements.
when winding and setting aside, perhaps in all plays, there is a tendency to think about where your sword tip is almost exclusively. Unfortunately, this an cause your to lose track of the strong of your blade, leaving you open to after-hits and giving your a lack of control in winding.
Place more presence of mind toward the strong of the blade. The strong is the unsung hero of fencing. it does the work of parrying and guiding your opponent's blade during winding. It is the base of the "cone of steel". It is the frame of the speaking-window.
