Zebra Carbon Fibre Boomerang

I bought mine for around $20 from Colorado Boomerangs. It came with an instruction booklet, which I highly recommend you read and even memorize as there is an art to throwing a boomerang. This one works, and works well. When I opened it I noticed it actually has a carbon fiber weave on the top side if you look closely. The actual boomerang says Frog on the top, which I assume is the brand name. On the bottom side it says LMI and Fox, modele deposte 89, France, Olivier Vouktchevitch French Team Captain. When I read this, I knew this was a legitimate boomerang and NOT a cheaply made piece of junk that wouldn't return (like the first boomerang I bought). There was no wind the first time I took it out, so it couldn't make its way all the way around back to me. On its second outing I found it likes a little gust that gets the leaves on trees moving. I gave it some good spin and decent power and I could catch it or get it to land at my feet nearly every time. The wind was a little unpredictable though and I managed to accidentally hit a baseball backstop once and it glided into the road a second time so beware that wind conditions are critical when throwing a boomerang. It still works fine though so its build is very strong and rigid. And let's not forget it can be thrown in a drizzle of rain, which would warp and ruin a wood boomerang. I would recommend giving yourself at least 50-60 yards distance all the way around you because sometimes the wind can pick up and this thing will really fly. This is my first real boomerang and after such a great experience I am hooked! I recommend this model and hope they never stop making it!

My 13 year old son absolutely loves the challenge of a new "toy." He actually asked for a real boomerang for Christmas, and he instantly had it figured out and really makes tossing this look easy. As with most "real" toys, one must be cautious and heed warnings in the instructions.

This is a real competition quality, carbon fiber boomerang for the experienced 'ranger. I do not recommend giving this to a young child. But for teenaged children or adults, this is a great boomerang for recreational use. This one will last for years. As with all 'rangs, use them with protective eyewear, large open spaces, and in low wind conditions, and have fun!

Great boomerang, tough and dense. Absolutely not for a beginner, it takes a good arm and is capable of hurting someone pretty badly if misused. I prefer the flamingo pink version as it is easier to see in the air or in the grass, but it is otherwise identical in shape and performance. I keep it mainly as a backup in case my flamingo buys the farm some day.

I have had boomerangs before and this one especially on a calm day will not return, a couple of days ago there was a slight breeze and would turn and try to come back some but never made it half way. If you like running 50-60 yards after it every throw here you go. I think it's made too flat, not enough foil?

Flys very predictably once you learn how to throw it. By their nature boomerangs are very easy to loose and so this is getting a little expensive since I have now bought my son 3 of these.

I bought this for a nephew for Xmas... it's still in the package so I can't comment on how it flies but it is much smaller than expected.

I graduated to this from a light wooden beginner level boomerang, where I could throw and catch it (or have it land in such a spot where I could have caught it) about 80% of the time.This one is a WAY faster, heavier, and needs a lot more room. I throw this on an empty high school baseball field near my house, and even that is barely enough space. I haven't been able to get it to come back yet... my flights look more like horseshoes than circles, but if it did come back I'd be getting out of the way instead of trying to catch it. This thing moves fast.I couldn't give this product 5 stars because I personally didn't enjoy it. This boomerang doesn't fit my skill level or the area I throw in. But I couldn't give this a bad review either, since I knew this was a different kind of boomerang than what I was used to, the seller gave me quick delivery, and the product was as advertised.All I can say is, don't make this your first boomerang and don't underestimate the amount of room you'll need. I wouldn't feel entirely safe throwing this unless I had 60-70 yards to play with.
