Omar –
The punch shields are pretty great in terms of versatility and the Teardrop is no exception! I was thinking I wanted a tower shield thinking I wanted something big, but boy was it a good idea to start with the teardrop! It is already quite large and for those with a small frame, it’ll definitely fit into that criteria of a tower. For those with medium/tall/larger builds, this will serve as a large enough shield for anything. It will fit into a shield wall easily or protect you in a duel. Whatever you use it for, the teardrop will not do you wrong. It can be used in the orientation shown in the image above or upside down, depending on how comfortable you feel with either way.
It’s not too heavy, it’s constructed well, and will be around for years to come so long as you aren’t treating it poorly.
Pros:
Actually quite large!
Decent weight
Well-balanced
Will take whatever strikes comes its way
ForgedFoam construction quality as always! Great stuff!
Neutral:
Might be too big for people with a smaller stature
Grip is a bit rough on the hands
Cons:
None so far!
