I'm in the same boat. I'll have 3 in slightly different colors, hoping for one to be puddle topped as my thrower.
Got mine today. Stiff grey Z plastic. Flat like my stiff esp. Wouldn't call it puddle top. Haven't thrown it yet.

I was right. The one that is my thrower (found a pair of black flecks in an orange disc) is the puddle topped one. The other 2 are flat. I haven't thrown mine yet, my shoulder is still sore after dodgeball on Friday, near 0 degree F temps, and 15 mph+ wind sounds like a recipe for disaster. I'll hopefully be throwing either Wednesday or Friday depending on my shoulder, but the plastic feels really nice, but strangely for Z its grippy.
Is it fairly stiff? I bought a couple puddle top ESP's 4-5 years ago that were stiff & am still using them today.
I've felt a few at some shops over the last couple years & they've been a little soft.
This one is very stiff

Pics? Throwing experiences?
I bought a green one. I have to say, I got it mainly because of the stamp and 1st run Paul hype, not because I expect it to fly any different from any of my other Zones. I haven't seen any of these with bad plastic colors. They're all nice and bright, except for the grey/smoke ones, which also look sweet.

It flew just as I would expect a ROS putter to fly. I over torqued it (RHFH) and it was just straight, but I also had a right to left crosswind. I expect it to be reliably OS in all but the above mentioned conditions.

Anyone played around with those 2019 ledgestone glo sparkle Z zones? On paper it sounds like they would be quite beefy.
I recently got one. They are really beefy. Mine has a slight puddle top and tons of the sparkle flakes in it. I am bagging it for the foreseeable future.
I threw a magenta '19 glow sparkle Z for a couple rounds before shelfing it.
Super OS. Almost no straight flight before fading. The rim feels thick and chunky vs a puddle top esp.
Certainly great and useful, just not what I want from my Zone.

Just got the zone I ordered with the mcbeth stamp. I got a really badass dark teal colored one, but I am really surprised by the plastic. I thought I had read that most of them were pretty stiff, but I would call mine gummy. It feels really good and is board flat. I do not like the puddle tops so I pretty much got exactly what I would want if I could make my own.

Anyone else have their 1st run McBeths come with the weight penned instead of the usual sticker? I bought them from a shop that I know does not have a scale and they don't ever mark their discs.
Also, all four that the shop had have a slight dome in the center of the disc. If moving from the wing inward, they start with no shoulder, but as I said develop the slightest dome about half way along the radius. I have seen domey Zones before, but never like this. You almost can't tell except for setting them on a flat surface. I can easily flat top them, but it just surprised me.
