YoYoFactory BiMetal Shutter

The question has been asked for years. Since Gentry first won the USA National contest in 2013 on the SHUTTER, people have been asking about a bi-metal version. When he won Worlds in 2014 it was almost expected, but instead, Gentry chose to go a different route. He could have any yo-yo he wanted, and when he chose to go with a plastic yo-yo (the REPLAY PRO) to win the USA Nationals, it made a bold statement. It’s more about the player than the equipment. It’s a question that could have answered at any point, but there was no desire to confuse anyone with the idea they needed an expensive bi-metal yo-yo to be the best. Still, there was wonder, what would a bi-metal Shutter look and play like? Designs were tinkered with, but some fresh perspective might help the situation, so YoYoFactory reached out to noted Japanese Yo-Yo designer SUS YOYO MECHANICS, and gave a pretty simple brief. Re-imagine the Shutter with Japanese design philosophy in a bi-metal format. The drawing was received fast
