I’m pretty sure the onedrop released the m1 before all of the yoyos mentioned above. For $60. ---

> [@samcordell](#): > > I’m pretty sure the onedrop released the m1 before all of the yoyos mentioned above. For $60. True Fact! The M1 didn’t necessarily turn the entire industry on its head though. The shutter changed the way we thought about $50 throws. It paved the way for an array of other budget metals. Yoyos that play just as well as there $100 counterparts. Before the shutter, you’ve got Dv888’s, Dingos, and a Raptor. The Shutter’s released ushered in the golden age of budget metals. The M1 didn’t. At the time yoyo trends were different too. The Shutter fits today’s trends and fits the performance needs of today’s players better than an M1. M1 had its day. The sun has set on mid-walls, .555 response, and super narrow throws. Plus the shutter is $15 cheaper, but of course you already knew all that. :wink: ---

Before it was released, the idea of a budget metal that performed as well as the premium yoyos of it’s time was unheard of. It made “budget metal” an actual category. ---

> [@stuarttw](#): > > Are you just assuming that or have you actually heard manufacturers saying that? I wasn’t thinking about the super-cheapness of the shutter when I heard of it. According to Steve Brown “Manufacturers are saying ‘it’s all going down at the $50 price point’…” I don’t have ties to companies, but I trust the word of Steve Brown. You may not be concerned with price, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t a selling point. ---

Easily the best review I’ve yet to come across. You’re entertaining and honest. The backstory with links was VERY fun. It gives the yoyo a personality and gives the whole piece a fun build up. Good work. Do more. ---

YYF has stopped producing the Genesis+. It’s an amazing yoyo, but not readily available. I try to review yoyos that others have an opportunity to purchase. ---
