YoyoFactory Shutter

It’s the YoyoFactory Shutter! Signature model of 2013 and 2019 World Yoyo Champion Gentry Stein. We’ve had a number of Shutters in stock over the years, and our very first order had the classic Red, Black, and Aqua color variations. Like a lot of people, the Shutter was my first “nice” yoyo, and there was no way we weren’t getting the Shutter in the Motmot Shop. The Shutter has remained in stock at the Motmot Shop since 2018.
The Shutter remains a viable yoyo, over a decade after it’s release. A lot of folks online will tell you the Shutter is outdated, but I say the Shutter is still a great yoyo for anyone looking for a first unresponsive metal yo-yo. The Shutter has a lot of center weight so it’s extremely stable, but still has a decent amount of power. The shape is extremely versatile, and in many ways the Shutter ushered in a new era of yo-yo design, that we are still living in.
The Shutter has remained in production since 2013, and you can pick up a Shutter at the Motmot Shop.

YoyoFactory Replay Pro

The Replay Pro is a budget unresponsive yoyo, and signature model of yoyo champ Gentry Stein. It’s pretty interesting that Gentry Stein didn’t go for a plastic Shutter, but a completely different type of yo-yo. The Replay Pro is about as cheap as an unresponsive yoyo can get, and it’s still a solid performer. Gentry Stein went on to win the 2015 US National Yoyo championship with a Replay Pro.
The Replay Pro is available in a very wide array of some really cool colors, and it also lights up like crazy under a black light, if you’re into that kind of thing. It’s a testament to the design that, we still stock the Replay Pro to this day. The Replay Pro serves as a great gift yo-yo, and a low budget starter yoyo.
You can still get one at the Motmot Shop!
