Speed Racer Fast Catch Boomerangs - Orange!

This boomerang works great! My 12 year old son loves it! After a few throws he was getting it to return right back to him. It's difficult to use in any wind as it's pretty light, but it's tons of fun to play with.

It’s good, but more practice needed to make sure it’s returning.

Full disclosure, I'm about 15 hours into throwing boomerangs. This boomerang is probably better as a second boomerang once you have gotten the hang of an easier one (see my review of the Manu Pro, also from Colorado Boomerangs, which I recommend). Fast Throw is an actual boomerang sporting event and this type of boomerang is made for that sport. It does come back for experienced users consistently but requires a hard throw with ample spin applied. The construction may seem cheap to some buyers but it is robust and made for that particular event. I do wonder if a heavier construction would help apply a better throw and spin. My tips are to throw it at a slightly upwards trajectory (maybe 25% vs. the horizon), almost completely vertically-oriented, and make sure it has enough spin on release, it is very important. Also keep the wind on your left cheek, and make sure you have the proper side facing you. Wear both eye protection and gloves, it is easy to lose it in the sun and boomerangs in general can cut up your hands if they hit with enough speed. Have patience, and watch some instructional videos online, as well as following the good directions Colorado Boomerangs sends with these. If you find it isn't reaching you on the throw, throw it slightly higher and make sure there is enough spin, which is very important. If it keeps going back too far behind or in front of you (making a "4" instead of a circle), check the wind direction and throw more to your right. If it is too windy, put the boomerang away and fly a kite instead, because anything over 9 mph or so will blow it all over the place. Also, you can look at it sideways and see if you need to apply less or more warp, though frankly that is a more advanced tip and you should really just focus initially on getting it to make a complete circuit and your release. Check out my video here for it in action.

I tried the Blue Speed Racer Fast Catch Boomerang as a beginner and found it easy to use right out of the box. The included instructions and access to helpful videos made learning how to throw much simpler. The boomerang is lightweight and designed specifically for right-handed throwers, which worked well for me. I appreciated the long helicopter hover, which gave me time to track and catch it. It’s well-suited for teens and adults looking for a fun outdoor activity.

Trying to go a long distance and return this is not the boomerang for you. This one will return to you, but if there's any more than a breeze it doesn't like to return directly to you. It also does not go out very far and probably goes out about 75 feet and returns. I think the problem with it is just too light and small. It's probably perfect for kids though but for an adult I think it's too lightweight.

Tons of fun! Very safe and great buy for the money. Very durable and light weight.

I chose this boomerang after having watched a top 10 boomerangs video on YouTube. Don't listen to the trash talking in Amazon reviews. This was the second favorite of the reviewer on YouTube. I just ordered another one. This boomerang will come back to you, depending on the conditions and your skill at throwing. It is a good flyer, and my family has enjoyed it very much. It's also good for smaller areas, as it has a fairly short flight arc. The checkerboard pattern on one of the lobes is wearing off pretty quickly. But that can't be helped. I would recommend this booma without hesitation as a suitable beginner boomerang. June 14th 2020 - I have been throwing this boomerang several hours per week for about a month now. I have developed the strength in my arm and adjusted my throwing style to the point where I am now getting consistent returns to the point of origin, and frequent catches. I would also note, per the complaint of the gentleman from Saudi Arabia, this boomerang will injure you if you take a direct hit. My daughter was struck directly in the kneecap, and it bled pretty good. So be careful, when catching!

I call this one the ankle breaker. You really gotta huck it and learn the right height to throw since it tends to go low.

very nice balance

Es un buen producto y lo recomiendo me diverti mucho con el.

We tried other ones from different brands and even the traditional one (V-shaped) from this brand and they did not return easily. This one does and my son loves it. He can't wait to go play with it.

It’s a really good ‘rang. Pretty durable but don’t throw on concrete. If it doesn’t come back to you then you don’t know how to throw a boomerang.

The Speed Racer Boomerang is a blast! It flies smoothly, does a nice loop, and actually comes back when thrown correctly. Lightweight but sturdy enough for regular use. Great for kids and adults looking to practice their throws.
