Leverage vs. reach. It is easier to control your opponents weapon if you manipulate the leaver point thats farthest away from the wrist. Given that he’s facing a gladus and buckler (equivailant to a sidearm when compared to a lance or javelin), he does not need to worry about reach, and given that he can’t two-hand the weapon without disusing the net, his best option is to give his opponent a shorter fulcrum while still retaining enough length to control the distance.
