How to throw a boomerang
You must always hold the boomerang so the curved or
shaped painted sides
is toward you - the flat unpainted side
should always face away from you.
When holding the boomerang choose a comfortable grip.
Pinch Grip: Make a fist then pinch the boomerang tightly
between your thumb
and first (index) finger.
Pencil Grip: Support the boomerang with your thumb, first
finger and middle
finger - much like you would hold a pencil
(with your first finger hooked
around or on the edge of the
boomerang)
Check direction of the wind - face directly into it, then turn
approximately 45
degrees to the right (45 degrees to the left
for left handed throwers).
Holding the boomerang ready to throw - tilt or angle it off
vertical (this angle
is called “layover”) and picturing your arm
and boomerang as the hour hand
on a clock the boomerang
will be about 1 o’clock for the right handed thrower
and 11
o’clock for the left handed thrower.
Choose a far away object that is a little higher than the
horizon in the
distance such as a tree, rooftop or hill and use
this as your point as
boomerangs should be thrown in a
slightly upwards direction.
Throw overhand (like throwing a baseball) toward your
aiming point,
snapping your wrist as you throw to impart the
boomerang. The boomerang
will tend to pull itself out of your
hand as you throw. Be sure the boomerang
is released at the
1 o’clock or 11 o’clock plane. (Do not throw horizontally
sidearm).
WARNING: Use only in open spaces clear of other people
and
property.
Do not attempt to catch the boomerang as
injury may occur.
