I had been switching between tons of putters trying to find out what I like. I recently was liking the Shield but wanted something just a touch shallower. I like the bead of both. It just sits in between the index finger and I get a more consistent release. Flight is very straight on a putt and glide is lower. Flat top feels comfortable.
Throwing it flies very straight with a mild fade. I actually aced with it on a 230 foot hole with my second throw ever!
