Review on Manu Pro Yellow Boomerang Professionally by Tim Larsen

Revainrating 5 out of 5

The best boomerang for beginners and intermediate

Full disclosure, I've been throwing boomerangs for about 15 hours. Too bad I didn't buy this first as it's a lot easier to throw correctly and more forgiving on throws that aren't perfect. It flies farther than a fast catching boomerang and its weight and balance make it easier to throw hard and spin properly. and make sure it has enough spin on release, that's very important. Also, keep the wind on your left cheek and make sure your right side is facing you. Wear both goggles and gloves, they can easily get lost in the sun, and boomerangs can actually cut your hands if they hit with enough speed. Be patient and watch some tutorial videos online and also follow the good instructions Colorado Boomerangs sends with them. If you find he's not reaching you on the throw, throw him a little higher and make sure he has enough spin, which is very important. If it keeps coming back too far behind or in front of you (gives a "4” instead of a circle), check the wind direction and roll more to the right. If it's too windy, ditch the boomerang and fly a kite instead because anything over 9 mph or so will blow it all over the place. Watch my video here to see how it works.
