>If you have a rectangular or oblong shield with a central grip, do you prefer a vertical or a horizontal grip?

Vertical grip, but I use a system that holds the shield at near full arm extension from the body to maximize the area of coverage, while allowing me to control the range (Di Grassi). If it was a horizontal grip, a strike to the top or bottom would “table” the shield, and expose me. Horizontal works better for larger shields like full pavaise and scutum that have the mass to hold them down.
