Throwing Your Boomerang
3. Bend your wrist way back so the boomerang touches your forearm as
shown in figure #1.4. Snap
your wrist, spinning the boomerang straight out in front of you and
releasing at eye level with your arm fully extended. Use an
overhand
throw like a baseball. All boomerangs are thrown vertically
not sidearm
like a "FrisbeeŽ".
ˇˇ ROOMERANGS
require more spin and are thrown like a dart or
knocking on a door.
ˇˇ BACKYARD BOOMERANGS require full arm extension and must be
thrown like a baseball. |

How to Throw with Wind
5. Wind isn't necessary to make a boomerang
return. When there is a wind, right handed
people throw the boomerang 45 degrees to
the right of the wind (the wind should blow
against your left cheek). Left handed
people should throw the boomerang 45
degrees to the left of the wind (the wind |
should blow against the right side
of cheek). Refer to figure #2. To help you
determine wind direction, drop a piece of grass into the air to see which
way
the wind blows the grass. If boomerang lands in front of you, throw more
into the wind. If boomerang lands behind you, throw more off wind. If
boomerang is climbing high, you're throwing too much like a "FrisbeeŽ".
Keep it straight up and down (vertically).
