well, i was wondering if maybe in singular combat the spear may have been held lower... mid chest? waist height? from a little experimentation it seems to be a little bit more stable and manueverable.
However all references i have found have pointed at the spear held overhead, which makes sense in group combat (so you dont stab your buddy behind you with the butt spike...) but seems to me like a waste of energy holding it up over your head in single combat.
just a few thoughts...
