Yanaki Boomerang

Bottom Line

One of the most popular hobby boomerangs ever, the Yanaki has great hover for easy catches. It's not a great pick for beginners, though.

Pros

Handcrafted wooden design. Made from airplane-grade plywood. Very visible paint job. Floats. Best for throwing in open fields. Travels pretty far and does return, once you get the hang of it.

Cons

This boomerang can break if it hits hard surfaces with too much force, so it's recommended you use it in open grassy fields. For right-handed throwers only.

Bottom Line

This boomerang is brightly colored and can be easily bent into shape. It's a great choice for beginners.

Pros

Classic V-Omega boomerang. Bright orange for high visibility. Excellent wind resistance. Can be modified for competition. Instructions are embossed on underside of blades. Easy to bend back into shape. Floats in water.

Cons

Material is thinner than expected. For right-handed throwers only.

Bottom Line

This tri-blade boomerang whistles as it flies, so it's popular with kids. Tri-blades are often more stable than standard boomerang designs.

Pros

Tri-blade design increases stability and accurate returns. Whistles while it flies. Has a range of 50 to 80 feet. Can fly in an 80-foot circle back to you when properly tuned. Returns relatively well.

Cons

It is made of hard plastic, so be sure not to throw it at another person.

Bottom Line

With a smaller size and long hover period, this tri-blade boomerang is a good choice for teaching kids throwing and catching techniques.

Pros

A good choice for beginners; small enough for kids. Long helicopter-style hover helps thrower learn to catch. Return of 25 to 35 yards. Bendable blades let you adjust for better throws.

Cons

Edges may be a little sharp, so use caution when throwing, and do not toss it to others. For right-handed throwers only.

Pros

Cons

Painted design may be different than shown. Can't be tuned/bent too much or it will crack. For right-handed throwers only.
