This guy is brilliant for sure, but also a real champion at mental masturbation.

About the hoplite spear issue, his pride of "debunker" at all costs make him fail to realize that if sources show both methods were used it simply means... surprise! that both methods were used.

IMHO underarm grabbing is better at taking advantage of the full lenght of the spear, main target the thighs, overarm is better at very close combat, main target the neck. Simple as this.
