Manu Pro Yellow Boomerang - for Kids 8-80! A Great Professionally Molded Boomerang Designed by World Champion Manuel Schuetz!

The media could not be loaded. Full disclosure, I'm about 15 hours into throwing boomerangs. I wish I had bought this first, as it is far easier to throw properly, and is more forgiving for throws that aren't perfect. It travels farther than a fast catch boomerang and is easier to throw hard and apply proper spin to due to the weight and balance.My tips are to throw it at a slightly upwards trajectory (maybe 30% vs. the horizon), relatively straight, and make sure it has enough spin on release, it is very important. Also keep the wind on your left cheek, and make sure you have the proper side facing you. Wear both eye protection and gloves, it is easy to lose it in the sun and boomerangs in general can cut up your hands if they hit with enough speed. Have patience, and watch some instructional videos online, as well as following the good directions Colorado Boomerangs sends with these. If you find it isn't reaching you on the throw, throw it slightly higher and make sure there is enough spin, which is very important. If it keeps going back too far behind or in front of you (making a "4" instead of a circle), check the wind direction and throw more to your right. If it is too windy, put the boomerang away and fly a kite instead, because anything over 9 mph or so will blow it all over the place.Check out my video here for it in action.

I was a little bit hesitant to buy this boom (short for boomerang) but I decided to take a chance on it and what an awesome boom!! Construction seems very durable and it has a good weight. Definitely requires a medium to strong throw but it flies nicely, and returns right back to the thrower. Price is decent...probably wouldn't mind have spending a little less but its cool though. I would say that a pre-teen to teenager could throw and use this boom effectively!!

This is my first boomerang. I'm really surprised by how well it works considering I have zero experience. It definitely does come back when you angle properly according to the wind. I expected it to have more of a flat, circling, arc... but mine tends to climb up and return to me with a somewhat steep dive. Totally makes sense to me why a lot of people throw with gloves on. Catching it feels amazing from an accomplishment standpoint but can hurt quite a bit on the physical side.The area outside my home is just big enough to throw, thankfully, but it does require much more room than expected. A park is the ideal spot. Wouldn't recommend throwing this on blacktop or rough areas as it does seem like it will easily scratch. A couple of my early throws have landed with some hard contact but the boomerang remained intact, so that's nice.With practice I'm sure my return rate will get to a higher level, but I'm very pleased that I was able to complete some perfect tosses already. I'm confident in the boomerang's shape and construction, so I know any errors right now are on my end. Manuel Scheutz definitely knows his craft and has developed a stellar design. I'm interested in trying different models in the future; it's fun!The price seems a bit steep but everything's expensive these days. I'm not sure anything cheaper would provide such good results. For now I'll be trying to get my money's worth out of this... which should happen unless I happen to crack or lose it.A very satisfying purchase overall

Tried and tried learning to use boomerang with my son. Was never able to safely have the boomerang return to us. For us it was a fail and waste of money.

Fun and easy to learn

The media could not be loaded. Great durable boomerang. Good price too. I made the mistake to try it on the street my first couple of trows and it slammed straight down and it didn't break. So its a survivor! When I finally made it to the field it only took me a couple of trows to catch it. It made me feel like a pro even though I'm far from it.

Damages super easily. I have the instructions followed them does not work.

We were so excited for our new boomerang however the 20 dollar toy broke on the second throw. Very upsetting.
