Will the bi-metal shutter will have the 48mm width of the WA?

I can definitely see this. I honestly view the Shutter as an evolution of the Genesis design.

(puts on conspiracy theory hat) 🎩

If you look at how different the OG Edge is from the Edge Beyond, Wedge, Delrin Edge, Monster Edge, and so on… I think this is a credible statement. I’ve always wondered why everything past the original Edge was so Kuntosh like, whereas that first Edge model was kind of a generic-ish W shape.

I’m curious why the move past the original Edge to the hard angles that IMHO _define_ the Edge series now? The OG Edge looks like an outlier, like it doesn’t even belong in the same yo-yo family! Compare with the Shutter family… night and day, they are all absolutely identifiable as Shutters.

Speaking of, for “bimetal styling” why not make the whole yo-yo polished? Fake bimetal snark aside, I do actually agree the polished stuff looks great … and there actually aren’t that many (any??) fully polished yo-yos for sale these days, so why stop at bimetal stripes?

Yeah that’s why I love the Gentry line up so much. Seems like he really likes/stands behind each of his yo-yos. Even if he doesn’t throw the Replay all that often (maybe he does though) he still has said he really wanted an entry level signature plastic yo-yo.

I’d like to see Gentry get the same treatment as Evan did where he gets a bunch of variations on the Shutter, but I was talking to IBS about it on discord and he’s pretty much echoed what you’ve said. I assumed it’s up to you, but turns out it’s more about you and the player coming together. I think that’s very cool.

A bimetal shutter is confirmed as well as a titanium WA on the YYF blog.

Well, _there’s_ something the Shutter brand got that the Edge brand never did: titanium models.

I’ve been watching the Shutter birthday video that Gentry made the other day, and I find it a little ironic that he seems to really like the benefits of redistributing weight away from the center and towards the rims, yet he doesn’t like bi-metals. 🤨

I don’t think he “doesn’t like bi-metals”, i believe he just said he didn’t need one. I could be wrong though, I don’t know if he stated somewhere else that he didn’t like them.
