MATERIAL:
Westside Discs BT Hard is a plastic blend designed for disc golfers who prefer a firmer feel in their discs. Here are some key features of BT Hard:

Firmer feel: Compared to other Westside plastics, BT Hard offers a noticeably firmer grip. This can be beneficial for players who want more control over their discs, especially in cold or wet weather conditions.

Durability: BT Hard is a durable plastic that can withstand a lot of punishment. This makes it a good choice for discs that will be used for hard throws or that are likely to hit obstacles on the course.

Stays true to shape: BT Hard is a stiff plastic that holds its shape well. This can be helpful for players who want discs that will fly predictably, even in windy conditions.
Here are some additional things to keep in mind about BT Hard:

Not as grippy as some other plastics: While BT Hard is more grippy than some premium plastics, it is not as grippy as some of Westside's other plastic blends, such as VIP or Tournament.

May be more difficult to break in: Because of its stiffness, BT Hard discs may take a little longer to break in and reach their full potential.

BT Hard is a good choice for disc golfers who are looking for a durable, firm plastic that will hold its shape in windy conditions. It is a good option for putters, midranges, and fairway drivers.

DESCRIPTION:
Westside Discs Shield is a putt and approach disc designed for players who need a stable disc for controlled flight. Here are its key characteristics:

Stable Flight: The Shield boasts a flight rating of 3 speed, 3 glide, 0 turn, and 1 fade. This translates to a straight flight path with minimal turn and a predictable fade at the end of the flight. This stability makes it a go-to option for putting where accuracy is crucial and approach shots requiring a controlled finish.

Beaded Rim: The Shield features a beaded rim, which is a preferred rim style for many disc golfers, especially those who putt with a lot of thumb pressure. The bead provides a secure grip and a defined release point.

Multiple Plastics: The Shield comes in various plastics to cater to different preferences. A popular choice is the BT Hard plastic, known for its grippy, durable feel in all weather conditions. 
Other options include BT Medium for a tackier feel and VIP for a grippy and very durable choice.

Overstable Compared to Swan: The Shield is considered more stable than the Swan 1 and Swan 2 putters from Westside Discs. This means it will resist turning as much during flight and have a more pronounced fade at the end.

Westside Discs Shield is a versatile putter and approach disc that excels in providing a stable flight path and a comfortable grip. Its beaded rim and variety of plastics cater to different putting styles and preferences.
