Love these carbon rangs: you can't break them or warp them by leaving them in the rain. This model is nice and sturdy, but the range is limited. Still fun to throw!
I was worried that it was so thin that it came in an envelope but once I started to use it I was amazed honestly. It hasn't broken and it has taken some hard landing. I'm currently learning how to do some tricks and it definitely is worth the money
I gave your boomerang to my step grandson as a gift to use because I saw that he was making some out of paper. He was a bit frustrated trying to get it to work but I told him it takes practice. Hopefully he'll stick with it.
