Is it worth picking up a fh1 if I already have a zero?

If your FHZ isn’t pad recessed, then 100% yes.

New FH1s play perfect for unresponsive if you throw in a clean concave A bearing, and stock out of the package they’re perfect for being responsive while not being overly snaggy or sensitive.

how would you compare shutter evo and edge 22?

Obviously I’m not @Yoyogeek15 but here’s the comparison I made awhile back on Reddit when someone asked the same thing:

Edge 22 is faster and feels lighter on the string. Shutter EVO is probably the most “powerful” feeling yoyo I’ve ever used though. It’s got a ton of kickback on binds if you’re into that sort of thing, and is literally so hard to knock off plane it’s unbelievable. If you do lots of horizontal throwing, it’s the best yoyo I’ve ever used for it - it will stay horizontal for however long you want it to. 2/3rds of the weight is actually in the stainless steel rims, which is what makes it so stable and gives it that powerful feeling. It does however not even really feel like a yoyo (I consider this a dope thing but others who have played mine weren’t a huge fan of this “unnatural feeling” aspect) - I call it a futuristic super high performance string trick tool, cause that’s what it feels like more than anything. Basically it comes down to this:

If you want a banger “all around” typical “do it all” bimetal that can go fast and feels light, get the Edge 22. If you want to experience something totally different feeling than most throws, but also something unusually powerful and wildly stable, get the Shutter EVO.
