If you decide to buy a boomerang and are at a loss about which one to choose, then here are some of our tips based on practice that will help you decide on a choice.
We suggest thinking about how the boomerang will be used. For example, for outdoor activities and launches or as a decorative souvenir? Having decided on the main priority, choose the model with the characteristics most suitable for your needs.
Boomerang for launches
The first thing you should pay attention to is the size. For a comfortable launch, choose small/medium-sized models with a wingspan of up to 400 mm. Such boomerangs are easy to manage. You will be able to use different launch techniques, control the speed and rotation. Models Hook, Fan and Hare will be the optimal choice.
For comparison, boomerang Mako is larger than the others, and we do not recommend it for practical launches. It is not very convenient to launch a heavy and large boomerang, and it is dangerous to catch it. Mako is more suitable for placement in the interior, as a souvenir.
The second thing to consider is the coverage. We use several types of coatings, such as paint, oil and various types of lacquers. When choosing a boomerang for practical launches, we definitely recommend choosing a varnish coating, because it protects the boomerang from contamination, small scratches and moisture. In case of contamination, a varnished boomerang can simply be wiped with a damp cloth, without the risk of spoiling the appearance.

In the case of products covered with oil, when falling on loose soil, the earth can clog into the pores of the wood, which is very problematic to clean.
The third is the type of boomerang. Here we mean the way he flies. For beginner throwers, "ordinary" boomerangs with a classic flight path are suitable. You can develop existing skills with more extreme models of long-range boomerangs (LD) Challenger and Naawi.
Also, you need to take into account the weight. Heavy models, as a rule, require a strong start. It is necessary to give more speed and rotation so that it can fly and return to you. Such a boomerang can return at high speed, which can be dangerous to catch. When buying a heavy boomerang, evaluate your physical capabilities.
Boomerang for interior decoration
A boomerang in the interior always looks unusual, attracting with its colors and silhouette. A special place in this regard is occupied by a wooden boomerang, distinguished by the beautiful texture of this natural, natural material.

Here it is worth paying attention to solid wood products and laminated models. The former, as a rule, are made of a piece of wood with a natural bend and have a well-marked texture with a "wooden" pattern.
Laminated models are also made of natural wood. Thin strips of different breeds are glued together in special shapes, forming a blank for the future boomerang. Such products are very beautiful due to the wide variety of color and texture combinations of natural shades.
Laminated boomerangs are often decorated with a variety of decorative inlays, which gives them even more attractiveness and individuality.
When buying a boomerang in the interior, pay attention to its coating. Products covered with glossy varnish can shine strongly in a room where there are many light sources, or direct sunlight. In this regard, we recommend choosing products coated with oil or matte varnish, because they look almost the same regardless of the illumination.
Boomerangs with different types of coating: light - oil; medium - matte varnish; bottom - glossy varnish.

You can also add that the products covered with oil, to the touch – wood, while varnished, respectively - varnish.
We have many color variants of laminated models. Choose what you like best.
Various accessories can be added to the boomerang, for a more attractive placement in the interior. For example, to decorate a wall, you can place a boomerang in a frame or use a special stand to place it on a shelf.
Boomerang as a gift
A real wooden boomerang is a great idea for a gift. Which model to choose in this case, decide for yourself, guided by the recommendations described above.

Many people consider a boomerang to be a gift that carries a certain meaning. Often, various wishes are written on the boomerang or other marks are left. In our case, we can make inlaid inscriptions or place other graphic elements that fit on the boomerang. It's like an engraving, only the words are "embedded" in the tree itself. Such an element or inscription is not erased and does not fade with time.
