At one time, I didn’t see why everyone was going on about how great the Shutter is. After buying and playing with a few hundred yoyos in the last two years plus, I get it now. It can do just about anything, it’s very stable, which is very helpful for beginner and intermediate throwers, it is a great all around throw. Flat bearings aren’t bad, if anything it will force you to be a tiny bit more precise, they just aren’t quite s as helpful as some other types, definitely not a deal breaker, imho. I have two Shutters that came with flat bearings, and a few that came with a Centertrack bearing, and the play is not very different at all. The ones that came with a flat bearings, I purchased directly from Mr. Stein’s site brand new. If I didn’t know it, I wouldn’t be able to tell. I’d say you cannot go wrong for that price. Good luck! ---

Great deal. Get it. I have 2 Shutters and they did not come with flat bearings. Shutter is a great yoyo. ---

I mean I wouldn’t call a bearing a make or break thing for me. A flat bearing just requires a bit more precision. While this may mean a few spots of frustrations learning things it will actually only make you a cleaner player in the long run. So in my opinion if things are tough for you to get i would say a 35 dollar shutter is a fantastic place to start ---

Remember, you can always swap out the flat bearing for a centering bearing. The store you are buying from may even have centering bearings available. Edit to add: your Replay Pro likely has a centering bearing. You can swap that into the Shutter (taking care to gently screw the Shutter back together so as not to damage the threads) ---

A **MagicYoyo Y01 Node** is hard to beat for its ~$15 price tag. ---

+1 for the Silenus - I have two now. Great throw for a very reasonable price. The 7003 aluminium definitely has a more premium feel than 6061, just not quite like 7075.
