@DualAxer : A double grip is not historically accurate and decreases maneuverability with the shield. Viking style of shield combat was meant to deflect blows, not absorb them like a heavier Greek shield.
The dish is harder to go through than the wood, so no, it makes it harder for the shield to be penetrated. The hole and dish is needed to accommodate a center style grip.
