      Correct, I wonder why it´s depicted so short though. You can´t stop charging cavalry with something that short I think. Also:

      The goedendag was probably set in the ground secured by the fighter’s foot and aimed with both hands

      From the article you linked.

        Its body was a wooden staff roughly 90 cm to 150 cm (3 to 5 feet) long

        Checks out. It’s a combination of a club and spear. I’d imagine the shorter version is more on the club side, while the longer one is more on the stabby side.
