At 48mm wide, the Shutter Wide Angle is, as the name implies, much wider than the Shutter. The weight distribution of the latest WA release has also been tweaked to put more weight at the rims.

From what I’ve heard the WA performs better. I have one(I’ve never tried the regular one) and I play it a lot

Seems either is good enough of a yoyo to allow the right player to win a world championship
