YoYo Factory | Shutter Wide Angle

YoYoFactory Shutter Wide Angle

The YoYoFactory Shutter Wide Angle is the wider version of the iconic Shutter and the official signature yo-yo of World Champion Gentry Stein. With its extra-wide profile, this competition yo-yo provides a larger catch zone, making complex tricks more accurate and consistent

Designed for advanced players, the Shutter Wide Angle delivers excellent stability, long spin times, and precise control. Whether you're preparing for competitions or taking your freestyle skills to the next level, this aluminium unresponsive yo-yo provides the performance needed for demanding technical play

Why Choose the Shutter Wide Angle?

The Shutter Wide Angle combines the proven performance of the original Shutter with an increased width of 48 mm. The wider playing area makes it easier to land string hits during long technical combos and complex mounts

Its carefully balanced weight distribution provides:

• Excellent spin stability
• High rotational speed
• Long spin times
• Precise control during technical tricks
• A larger catch zone for demanding combinations

These characteristics make the Shutter Wide Angle a popular choice among competition players and experienced yo-yo enthusiasts

Designed for DNA Tricks & Fingerspins

The inner cup design is optimised for modern yo-yo tricks such as the popular DNA Trick. The central cups make fingerspins easier to perform while helping the yo-yo maintain a stable spin during these dynamic tricks

The smooth aluminium surface and H-shaped profile also make the Shutter Wide Angle well suited for grind tricks

Full Aluminium Construction

The Shutter Wide Angle is made entirely from aluminium, offering an excellent combination of low weight, strength, durability, and rigidity

Benefits of aluminium:

• Lightweight yet strong
• Durable construction
• Excellent weight distribution
• Stable and responsive playing characteristics
• Suitable for intensive everyday use

Centre Trac C Bearing

The Shutter Wide Angle comes equipped with a Centre Trac C Bearing. This high-quality bearing helps keep the string centred during play, reducing unwanted string contact and allowing the yo-yo to maintain a smooth, stable spin

Combined with the 19 mm Thin Pad response system, the Shutter Wide Angle provides a reliable unresponsive setup for advanced players

Who Is It For?

The Shutter Wide Angle is ideal for:

• Advanced yo-yo players
• Competition players
• Freestyle yo-yoers
• Players who enjoy fingerspins and DNA tricks
• Anyone looking for maximum control and long combos

Because it is set up as an unresponsive yo-yo, the Shutter Wide Angle is not recommended as a first yo-yo. Beginners are generally better off starting with a responsive model before moving on to an advanced unresponsive yo-yo
