1. How to hold it?
There are two kind of grips. One, the Lifting(Flight)-arm Grip and two, the Dingle-arm Grip. Both the grips will work provided the boomerang is held with the flat side away from you. In general, Dingle-arm Grip will produce a lower, more circular flight, better suited to windier conditions and stronger throws. In either case, the boomerang should be cocked back along your arm so that plenty of spin is given automatically on launch, and the grip should be reasonably firm to allow a clean release and control of tilt and trajectory.
2. Facing the wind, throw the boomerang 45to the right of you.
Standing at a wide area or a field, feel the wind around you. Now, face the wind. If the wind is quite strong, wait for a while or your boomerang will be blown away. In other words, it will not come back to you!! Strong wind should be avoided when throwing. Like any flying device, boomerangs are greatly affected by wind and blustery condition make return flights impossible and crashes more likely. Ok, at about 40-50 degrees to the right from where you are standing, you're ready to throw!!
3. Boomerangs should be thrown almost vertically!!
The thing that beginners always do is that they think that boomerangs are thrown like a frisbee, which is thrown horizontally. Well, a boomerang is not thrown that way. A boomerang is thrown almost vertically but not too vertical. Keep an angle at about 5-10 degrees when you throw. NEVER LAID OVER FLAT!
Don't ever throw like this!!.
4. The outward tilt.
The outward tilt of the boomerang has a great effect on the height and stability of the flight. Too much tilt will cause the boomerang to swoop and stall, giving it an unpredictable flight and making catching difficult. If you throw the boomerang laid over flat, it will climb very high, stall and then come crashing down vertically. In this event, the risk of damage to the boomerang is high, as is the danger to yourself and to bystanders, so this practice is definitely not recommended. What you need to do is aim just above your eye-sight and throw.
5. If you do not know where the wind comes from, then the boomerang will not return back to you.
6. Here are some reasons why a boomerang does not return back.
This is a complete circular flight.
1. Too much tilt.
This is what is going happen if you put on too much tilt. The boomerang will climb very high, and crash down vertically.
The right way is to throw the boomerang almost vertically. This way, it will not stall and crash and hit you by ant chance.
Q. Targeting too high
The boomerang that you throw returns back and lands at your feet.
The right way is not to target a high point. Look forward and target the point where your eyes looks at.
R. The boomerang returns at the back of you.
The right way is to throw the boomerang a little bit more to the right.
The boomerang returns back infront of you.
The right way is to throw the boomerang a little bit to the left.
