Ancient Noldorin combat manual:

„Heavy weapons should be held upright. If you let lose, the weapon will fall to the ground. Use this force of Arda, create momentum and strike from above.“

Thoughts of the experienced fighter:

„Rest a heavy weapon on your shoulder. Parry and jab with the shaft, use your body to accelerate and strike from above. Follow the force of Arda which pulls every thing and every being to the ground.“
