The Shutter is more of an all around yoyo, it can go horizontal if you want it to and it gives a decent fingerspin too. But I think the Horizon is a better match for you. It was pretty much made for horizontal play, it sleeps forever and itms fingerspins are crazy. Just my 2 cents ---

Not a single bad thing I could say about the Horizon. Very fun yoyo and its extra size makes it stand out a little. ---

It depends on what your looking for. But i would say go with the shutter as far as all around performance. ---

Horizon is excellent for horizontal play. Although I would take a Shutter over the Horizon any day. Better yet, get yourself a Shu-ta - In my opinion… It’s far better than either one! ;D ---

I don’t like the way the Horizon comes down on a throw; it doesn’t feel right. There’s no “thunk” at the end of the string. Maybe it’s the Center Trac bearing, idk. I like the Shutter better, but the Horizon is really fun for fingerspins. ---

Never tried Horizon but I have two Shutters which one is my main practice yoyo, and the other one is my guest yoyo in case someone goes “Can I try”. I love the way the Shutter plays, solid performance. ---

All preference, bro. The shutter is a very middle of the road kind of yoyo. The horizon is larger, so you will will have longer spin times and finger spins. Simple answer: Do you like big yoyos and cannot lie? Get a Horizon. else: get shutter If you don’t know what you like, I’d say you should get the shutter. Personally, I find that the shutter thuds at the end of the string, like it feels heavy, so I like the OD Benchmarks. They are much lighter getting to the end of the string. ---

Like everyone else said, Horizon’s best suited for horizontal play and it’s sleeptime is really impressive. The extra weight and large size is actually unnoticeable to me when i throw
