BackGround:
Basically along with his other signature throws, the super G and G funk, Gentry STein from Yoyo factory came out with another throw, the shutter.
Fast Forwarding to the US NAtionals, Gentry took 1st with his new SIgnature Throw, Inspiring the creation of the BLasted national Champs edition
Pros:
Excellent shape for horizinatal
Feels really stable
HAs a very wide catchzone
Comes in a blasted version
Grinds very well
COmes with a Tutorial with purchase from YYE :o
Inexpensivvvvvveee
Cons:
National CHamps edition is sold out.
FInal Thoughts:
I LOVE my Blue NAtionals Champs shutter! Comparing it to my equilateral, it feels a tad bit heavier, but mops the floor with all of my other yoyos in terms of grinding. This yoyo really deserves all the hype, and is in my oponion one of the greatest Throws that came out in 2013, especially in terms of Cost/Performance.
If you haven’t already, Pick one up! AT $45 Dollars, you cannot go wrong.
