The YoYoFactory Shutter Mini 2020 is an undersized, all-stainless steel version of YoYoFactory's full-size Shutter model.
The original full-size Shutter was the signature model of two time USA National Champion and 2014 World Champion Gentry Stein of the USA. While a favorite model of many players around the world, the yo-yo also inspired Japanese yo-yo brand 66% to create a miniature version of it in 2017. It was known as the Shutter 66 and was 37mm diameter.
Interestingly, while the stainless steel Shutter Mini 2020 was scaled down 22% from the original, its weight of 65 grams came in very close to the full size weight of 67 grams. Besides the reduced size (44 mm diameter), it used a Size A CenterTrac ball bearing axle (size C bearing on the original) and YoYoFactory small bearing pads (19 mm pads on the original). The rim of each yo-yo was engraved with a serial number (one of supposedly 400), Gentry Stein's signature, and the "YYF" logo. When you ordered, the serial number you received was claimed to be entirely random. In this case it was number 200.
