Shutter Wide Angle (Champions Collection)

YoYoFactory - Shutter Wide Angle (Champions Collection)

This is the model used by Gentry Stein at the 2019 World Yo-Yo Contest in Cleveland.

This model is a reissue of the same design as the model used by the world champions of the time. Therefore, the specifications may differ from those of the current model or the model of the same name at that time. Also, there may be damage to the packaging.

Snagging the 1A championship at the 2014 World Yo-Yo Contest, Gentry Stein's first metal signature model soon followed, the Shutter. The Wide Angle version has a larger catch zone, making it even easier than before to hit the string during difficult acrobatic combos. Gentry used this exact model at Worlds in Cleveland, and snagged 1st place with his impressive performance.

The profile is noticeably wider than the original Shutter. It's only a difference of 4mm, but in the yo-yo world, that 4mm means a huge difference! It's so much easier to hit the string, and although the other specs like weight and diameter are unchanged, it plays like a completely different yo-yo.

Since the base profile was preserved, the new Shutter has a very familiar playfeel, making the Wide Angle feel more like a variation paying homage to the original rather than a completely different throw.

*Silver / Color Rim is Polished. Not Bi-Metal.
