After recently picking up a Shu-ta, I’m still leaning more towards the Shutter as my favorite of the two. I do like the solid feel of the Shu-ta though, (especially the lofty spin times and stability that comes with it) but the speed of the Shutter makes it win the battle in my mind. Both very fun to play yoyos though 🙂

What do you guys think? Discuss!

I have a shu-ta and I’ve been thinking whether should I get a shutter. ???

Would like to hear more opinions from other owners of both. ;D

I own both Shutter and Shu-Ta. I tend to favor the Shu-ta as I like some stability with my throws. The shutter’s still great but for me its easy to knock it off plane while the Shu-ta is more forgiving for me. It’s not as quick as the Shutter but still can be pushed.

The shutter has a very floaty hollow like feeling to it, a very sharp contrast from the Shu-ta. Considering It’s only $45, i think It’d be worth it to pick one up 🙂

Honestly, I know there is a difference, but it’s not enough to make me prefer one over the other when it comes to playability. If it was me, I’d choose either for its color.
