The Shutter Wide Angle Yoyo is YoYoFactory’s latest addition to Gentry Stein’s Shutter Yoyo lineup. The Shutter Wide Angle is not made to replace the super popular Shutter, but rather standards as an alternative for bolder and more extreme tricks. The Shutter Wide Angle Yoyo feels very familiar in the hand. The beefy Shutter rims are almost exactly the same, making the Shutter Wide Angle just as comfortable to hold and throw. All of the width that has been added to the Shutter Wide Angle comes from the step off of the bearing, which has been lengthened on both sides. The additional width makes the Shutter Wide Angle particularly well suited for Gentry’s signature tricks like Bass Jump and Ballistic. The difficult to hit hops in these tricks are only made easier with the Shutter Wide Angle. On Stage, the Shutter Wide Angle helps you focus less on hitting your tricks, and more on the performance – making the Shutter Wide Angle the perfect companion for Gentry Steins “How To Be A Yoyo Champion” series. Aside from the increased width, the Shutter Wide Angle Yoyo also has a smaller inner foil, which makes the Shutter Wide Angle surprising good for finger spins. Your finger stays nice and centered for medium length finger spins and the center is easy to hit.

“Change is constant. Ever since the Shutter was launched in 2013 there have been small changes made to keep it both at the forefront of modern performance and in tune with the needs of @gentrystein. This year Gentrys Freestyle was a bit bigger and a bit bolder. Is this the future? Maybe. It’s probably the biggest departure from the original so we have decided to offer it as a stand alone edition. This is not the NEW #yyfshutter, it’s just a bit different. Full specs coming soon. Want to see it in action? Watch Gentrys Worlds Freestyle ?” “When designing my signature model yoyo Shutter, there was one major goal. To create the best performing, most well rounded yoyo that could handle any trick I throw at it. We were beyond successful with this design. We did it. We created THE most ideal yoyo.Manufacturer's Description of The Shutter Wide Angle Yoyo
Fast forward 4 years later, Shutter is still the most ideal yoyo. It is the go to yoyo for myself and thousands of players around the world.
A few months ago though, I had a thought. What about when I feel like something a little more extreme? What about when I want to push the boundaries a little more with my tricks and performances and try something unique? Well, there was only one answer. “Let’s make something extreme! ” let’s take the most well rounded yoyo on the market and tweak it a little bit. The goal was not to create something better, but something that is simply different.
I present, Shutter Wide Angle.
Shutter Wide Angle is not a Shutter replacement, but rather an addition to the Shutter lineup. For those who want to get a little more… extreme!” – Gentry Stein
