I'm an old geezer and needed a lefty to give my right a break.
The boomerang came the color of white and as I was more interested in the left hand properties when I ordered than the color I paid little attention to that fact. After unpacking and laying in the sun while I surveyed my throwing area a short while, I turned back around and "WOW!!!"... It had turned a deep purple which was unexpected but super cool. My first throw was nice and uniform as expected from this model and it looked good against the blue sky. The wind was tricky but after some adjustments it wasn't long before I made my first trick catch of the season with lefty! This design is great for righty too so maybe next throw I'll get some video to post of both. Till then this Boomer says "get out there and throw till it comes back U fools!!!" Later Gaters!

manu sells his 3 blade booms on this site.. you need to tune a fast catch boomerang.. its not like anything else u have ever done . It takes patience
Manu makes his own boomerangs. Whatever he used would be optimized for his arm strength. It is also very difficult to throw and catch a fast catch boomerang with a hard throw straight around like that. He actually uses an old ski mitten worn in to catch with impact mainly on his left hand as the impact is hard. He also measures the radius of throws for each boomerang in order to just barely pass the 20 meter mark. It would be best to try several models to throw with, and utilize different ones for different wind conditions. You might want to try one of our new “Kuzco” boomerangs which are very light and fast and capable of sub 20 second times. It would be good to have a heavier, more wind resistant model with holes drilled and such for better performance on windy days. You never know what wind conditions will be available in any given tournament.
Hi, do you have any idea what type and model of trirang Shutz used for his fast catch record please ? (Or is that a Euro team secret?) Would like to find out who the maker was because I would like a seriously accurate and equally fast, well tuned trirang to train with for this event,
Angle it closer to vertical and gentler force in stronger breezes,
Thanks,
Francis.
