> This is true but it also depends on the location of the weight. The Shutter is heavier than the Shutter Wide Angle but the Wide Angle is more stable and tends to spin longer because it has more weight pushed away from the center of the yoyo.

Would this be like, “As weight moves away from center axle (rim weight), stability increases”

I dont have any yoyos that are good to compare rim weight vs not in terms of stability  
I just know my 60g yoyo hates when i play sloppy and 80 doesnt care
