Choose it for
Straight putts and stable approaches. Westside presents it as the next step up from its Swan putters, a little thicker and with a small bead on the rim.
Choose something else if…
You want a beadless putter. The Shield has a small bead that you feel on the rim.
What the Shield flight numbers mean
Turn 0 and fade 1 give a straight flight with a light finish, the shape many players want for putting.
