Hey guys! Today I got my shutter at yoyo-club. This thing is a beast, and a thing of beauty, so I thought I’d do a review of it. Please feel free to critique me in the comments. On to the review.
Specs: (Taken from the YYE store)
YYF Shutter Stats:
Diameter: 56 mm / 2.20 inches
Width: 44.40 mm / 1.74 inches
Gap Width: 4.75 mm / .18 inches
Weight: 67.8 grams
Bearing Size: Size C (.250 x .500 x .187)
CBC SPEC Bearing
Response: CBC Silicone Slim Pad (19mm)
Looks:
This thing looks amazing. I love the step in the cup, and I love the step in the catch zone. The designs, colors, and everything looks flawless. Yoyofactory really hit the nail right on the head with the etching on this one!
Feels:
This yoyo feels good in the hand, although it can feel quite large at times. My middle finger fits perfectly in the little indentation in the catch zone. This finish is not made for grinding, although I’m sure you could finger grind if you really wanted to. I love the shiny-ish color that this finish has.
Play:
This yoyo plays amazing. It’s super smooth, and whips around on the string pretty fast. It’s not the fastest yoyo, but it’s not slow either. I’m not good at horizontal, but this yoyo can do it well (Atleast what I can do so far with horizontal.) When I got this yoyo, I expected it to be just like a dv888, well playing but nothing super special. I was wrong. This is 10x better than I expected. You can do some pretty sick inner ring grinds with this as well. I timed myself and got a 10 second inner ring grind.
Summary:
The shutter is a great yoyo, it’s super smooth, and it has an amazing price tag. In my opinion, they should just stop producing the dv888 and produce this. Its looks are stunning, its play is stunning, and I love it. It has a great inner ring, and the cup looks stunning with the engraving.

Have you tried the Chief or the Sine/Saw? If so, how would you compare them?

I liked this yoyo better then the H.O.T and Genesis I dont know why it just seemed so easy to control when doing tricks like Branding, Black Hops And Whut ect. I am getting a Dif-E-Yo KonKave Bearing so I will tell you if its worth it to get the bearing

Was the bearing that came with your Shutter noisy? I recently got one and it was very noisy, it plays great just like you mentioned but it was very noisy.

The gap of the yoyo is very wide. check that both pads are in properly (a friend’s was not) and then maybe change the string.
hope this helps!

Honestly if this thing was blasted and had a fatter lip I would definitely buy another. It’s an amazing throw, but it’s not the best grind in either aspect.
