Salve everyone,
I am a first time poster but I have been lurking for a while now which goes to show how much great information there already is on this site since. I have questions all the time and seem to always find the answer I need. However after a search this time I did not find what I was looking for. I think I understand the basics (3 steps and throw with shield in hand) but the details have eluded me. Where do you hold the pilum(center, just behind the block, somewhere else)? How do you throw it (Like a football, like an Olympic throw, another way)? Also in the construction of the pilum, where does the balance point tend to be and how does that relate to where you hold it when throwing?
Lots of questions and any insight would help me greatly. Thank you in advance!
