Shield | Westside Golf Discs · Discgolf-Dorado.com

The "Shield" by Westside Golf Discs positions itself as a versatile putter with a slightly overstable character. With a speed of 3, glide of 3, turn of 0, and fade of 1, this disc covers both precise putting inside the circle and controlled approach shots. The bead on the underside adds extra stability and provides a distinct feel in the hand. Particularly in VIP plastic, the "Shield" proves to be a reliable throwing putter, while the BT Medium and BT Soft variants excel in putting thanks to their grippy surface. The high profile contributes to comfortable handling and keeps the disc predictable even in windy conditions. The flight path of the "Shield" is straight with a moderate fade at the end. The turn of 0 ensures the disc holds its line even on stronger throws without unwanted turning. The subtle fade of 1 results in predictable landings without excessive hooking. This combination allows for precise approach shots in the 40 to 60-meter range, where control is more important than maximum distance. In windy conditions, the "Shield" maintains its stability and stays true to the chosen line. The glide of 3 provides enough float for gentle landings without making the disc uncontrollable. For beginners, the "Shield" proves to be an ideal companion, as it forgives mistakes while rewarding precise throws. The disc works well for both backhand and forehand throws and is excellent for straight approaches to the basket. Advanced players appreciate its reliability for approach shots and the ability to work with hyzer angles. Thanks to the different plastic types, everyone can find the right firmness for their individual throwing style—from the soft Megasoft version to the durable VIP plastic.
