Strongly agree with Paul on grip change.
When on guard with shield infrond of you and your in spear vertical position toy can execute "DORI ANASCHESTHAI" by raising it and lever it on your shield to level it. Thumb points twards point then. It is alast disch defence for rear rankers whose stichos has been penetrated but it awkard and difficult in synaspismos.
Thumb in overarm thrust can point either towards the buttspike or can be close to your fingers. Our members are devided on what is better.
Hope I have helped you Sean
Kind regards
