2030° right turn? So your disc will fly in circles like 5 or 6 times before landing? This, I must see.

I rock the shield. I have the one from trilogy challenge and I was able to score a BT soft from All Things Disc Golf last year. I find they fight the headwind pretty good and hold a nice line.
I have no interest in a more OS MVP putter. Unless it's in Electron. I'll gobble anything they give us in Electron.

Who's talking about MVP here?
I tried a lot of putters - and the shield definitely is my current putter and driving putter. It holds up really well in headwind and hold lines as you wish. For me it was surprisingly overstable - I expected it to be closer to the Mercy, but it does have more hss and lsf. It does fly long as well - longer than I ever got a Wizard to go ever...

I love Shields and I think they are more 0/2 instead of 0/3 like a Rhyno. It definitely feels comfy in the hand and a great option for the OP if he likes Pure feel.

I really like both the Ion and Anode (Neutron). Besides being able to handle quite a bit of power, they are very durable. Mine fly just about the same as they did when I bought them 2 years ago. I personally have not had that happen with other putters.

the bt shield i got from trilogy challenge is more beat in than the soft one right now, (thanks to smashing a tree in a playoff last year), and it seems to fly pretty straight for about 250' then it tails off. The soft shield is not as beat in and gives me a strong o/s shot. I think when i order more i will go with the bt plastic over the soft but hey the soft one was free so im not complaining.

The Proto putter, if it could be tweaked a bit more OS, is this. They'll do it eventually, I have no doubt.

Instead of waiting for MVP/Axiom to make an OS putter, why not get one of the plethora of good ones that already exist? Are you guys sponsored by MVP/Axiom?

I know, but MVP/Axiom doesn't have an OS putter, so why in the discussion?
VIP Harp is probably going to be your best bet for a good overstable driving putter
zone
gator (i know it's not a putter)
breaker
fwiw, I replaced rhynos with breakers.

I bagged a Zone for awhile. Awesome disc. But it's not needed when you can hyzer an Ion, Envy, or Tensor, or power down a Resistor.
A agree with those saying that MVP doesn't make a truly OS putter. They don't have a Pig, or Zone, or Scale, or anything really beefy. So for right now, the OP would probably shift towards another manufacturer. He already said he's going to try the Scale, which has been getting rave reviews.

Second this. I just switched from the Sinus to the Harp.
Yepp, the Sinus left the bag as soon as I touched a Harp. But if you don't have an "internet distance arm" the Harp is not great for driving - it will be short and dump hard.

What's the difference between the harp and disc like the suspect/breaker?

Haven't thrown a breaker. But a Suspect is going to be a little longer. And while it still has more than plenty HSS, it will have a later/less fade.
