> [@YoYoExpertGarrett](#): > > **From YoYoFactory:** In part of a theme for 2019 we are exploring Yo-Yo design. In the Massively rim weighted MVP we crushed the myth that Bi-Metal design is needed for rim weight. So what is left? Thus undermining every single one of their bimetal releases. > [@YoYoExpertGarrett](#): > > There is the undeniable fact that Bi-Metal yo-yos look good! So in this design we have created the amazing look and style of a Bi-Metal design and we kept the retail price unchanged! Was that gracious of YYF to leave the price unchanged?.. A Wide Angle Shutter for the price of a Wide Angle Shutter sounds reasonable to me. Now I really like YoyoFactory, but this seems like a misguided attempt to push the Shutter line even further by giving customers the perception that it is something new. Just look at the write-up they gave it for simply polished rims. The Wide Angle Shutter really is a great yoyo, though. ---

I think they were just trying to make something that looks cool and plays well. Like most releases though; It’s not for everyone, some people will like it and some will not. 🤷‍♂️ ---

When I found out that it was just polished I got a good chuckle at the expense of those excited for a bimetal with steel rings far from the rim. People get too serious about this stuff; it looks great and I have no problem with what YYF did here. Cool look! ---

Yeah, but I think it’s pretty easy to accomplish without resorting to a bimetal design. I guess there were several YYJ designs like that. Just also was ironic that it was right on the heels of questioning the need for bimetal designs at all… ---

> [@zslane](#): > > Well, apparently EXTREME MID WEIGHT!!! has its benefits: Depending on the shape and thickness of what is before and after it, putting a steel rim in that area does have benefits. One of my favourite yoyos if the OD 2016 W Benchmark. It has weight concentrated in that area. Not steel of course, but still a good concentration of weight. ---

> [@FiveIronBrian](#): > > When I found out that it was just polished I got a good chuckle at the expense of those excited for a bimetal with steel rings far from the rim. When people get past the idea that steel rings absolutely need to be put on the edge of the rim, I believe more interesting designs will appear that still offer performance benefits. Take a look at the Sturm Panzer Rising Phenom.(based on the YYJ Phenom). Sturm Panzer really don’t fool around with steel rims in useless places. ---

So I’ve learned that this isn’t the first time Gentry has used (and released) a Shutter with polished rims that make it look like a bimetal. I’m kinda surprised nobody mentioned this before. ---

Yep! We sold a handful of them! (2014). When Gentry won Worlds in Prague he used a version with polished rims. The theme was ‘razor sharp’ in line with the song he used to win (still such a fun freestyle to watch). The inner rim was polished for a striking visual, etc. > **[YoYoExpert Blog & Yo-Yo News – Polished Rim Shutters!

lmao I know it’s just clickbait but man, YYF is overcomplicating with all this. Why not just call them “Polished Shutter Wide Angles”?
