. Never been one for naming things after me though. If it works, the Homing Knuckle would be great.
As for leaf shield, momentum will still go with it, and I imagine you can jump even with it summoned, but we still really don't know how it's fired and if you can move in the Horizontal axis (or even the Vertical if you use the stick to jump). Also about that gimp, I don't think it'd work well on disjoints (such as swordies) as, while it'd likely trade with them, they could probably hit you out of the way and recover fine, since the knockback for the shield form of Leaf Shield looks pretty vertical. If anything in that situation, you just let Link recover
