The Shutter is versatile and that’s why I love it! Both are great yoyos, and I should be receiving my Horizon next week, so I have little to no experience with the Horizon at all. Since it’s your birthday, get a nice colorway with whichever one you end up getting 🙂 ---

I have a horizon but I found it to be light. I am however INCREDIBLY strong… ---

While not my favorite throw, the Shutter, in my humble opinion, is far better that the Horizon. ---

If you like extreme tricks (behind the back, horizontal, fingerspins) get a horizon. If you like an all around great yoyo that can handle everything well, get a shutter. ---

Both are great to have, I would say start with the Shutter and get a Horizon next
