Aerobie 30C12 Outdoor Orbiter Boomerang, Colors May Vary

I had one of these as a child and had a lot of fun with it. Now I have kids of my own I was glad to see you can still get these. This boomerang is great! It's hard to get a perfect throw every time, so be prepared to run a lot to catch it or fetch it from the ground. It really does come back when you get the right throwing angle and speed! You need a large open area for this because it travels at least 150-200 feet. The triangular shape makes it easy to get stuck in trees, so use common sense. I got it stuck one time but managed to rescue it by throwing sticks at it until it got knocked down! The flight pattern of this boomerang is not a perfect arc like you might expect; it goes towards the ground, sweeps around to the left and up high, then curves right and down as you (hopefully!) catch it. For less than $10, this is a very fun toy that really works and will get you some exercise. It's a bargain. Buy one and have fun with it! It will take some trial and error to get the hang of it, but the thrill of getting a catch is worth all the effort!

Just a quick intro: I am an adult who may never grow up when it comes to fun outdoor toys. I do not have very much experience with boomerangs but I decided to get one after reading the reviews. I do not have a big backyard but I was able to have a little fun with it. It did get caught up in the tree on more than one occasion but that's besides the point. Anyway, the real fun is when you can go to a park or somewhere with a lot of open area. My nephew and I had a blast with it at the park throwing it as hard as we could and at different angles. We also tried it out on a windy day and I thought it was going to fly out of the park! OK, I am exaggerating but it was a blast! There is a bit of a learning curve in order to get the boomerang to eventually land in the general area that you would like it to but it is a fun process getting to that point. Even when you think you've learned the science behind it, it may still take an extra turn or curve when you don't expect it too. I think it's the unpredictability is what gives this even more replay value. I highly recommend this to kids of all ages!

I bought this for my three boys. They are 5, 8, and 10. It took a bit of practice but they were able to get it to come back and land next to them. It really does work and it is a whole lot of fun! My husband was hogging it most of the time so I may have to order another one. I took a star off for durability. They have had it one day and the silicone corner is separating from the frame but it still works perfectly. I guess I didn't expect it would last forever but I was not expecting that to happen so quickly. Still works perfectly and no more separation has happened since then. Maybe it was just a fluke. This toy is so fun. We spend hours throwing it and chasing it down. It takes some figuring out but that is all part of the fun.

It's a very good starter boomerang and it was my first boomerang as well. You can see it fly through the air with ease because of its bright colors which makes it easier to catch. Very easy to throw and get the hang of with some time. The thing about it is though, it dies pretty quick. After about 3 days of use it started to come apart on one of the wings, revealing the inner plastic. Also, after several flights and preference tweaking (bending it to suit) it doesn't fly very well afterwards. It's original aerodynamic shape is lost. It can be fixed, but only temporarily as it will go back to whatever shape it was made into. I'd probably invest an extra $10 on a more durable boomerang, but for starters, this is a great item.

I bought this boomerang because I could get two for the price of a better one, and I'm glad I bought them both. Turns out, they not only work but they don't really hurt when you try to catch them, and you can easily throw two at once. Also, sometimes the boomerang comes back and lands softly like a "UFO" when the wind is right and with enough spin. When this happens it looks like a circular hole in the middle when looking up at it, and you can just stick your arm in there to catch it if you can't otherwise or just for more fun. When throwing two at once, all you need to do is grip a little tighter and "spoon" them together and they usually stick within 10 feet of each other. These are not too difficult to learn, I was able to in just a couple hours of practice with no instruction or tips other than what's printed on top of each one. A couple things it doesn't say on top... 1) When there's wind, simply make sure the wind is hitting your left side (90 degrees from wind direction). Unless of course you are throwing left-handed then the wind should be coming from the right. That way the wind helps it make the full 360 degrees so you can catch it before it starts to make an "S" maneuver away from the throwing location. 2) Two can easily be thrown at once, and they usually stick close together and land nearby each other if thrown correctly. 3) You can sometimes catch it easily with any type of long object at least 4" or thinner, such as a bat, golf club or even your arm

muy bueno excelente para ejercicio al aire libre, se requiere técnica para lanzar pero es un buen producto. recomendado. 😉

C'est assez facile de le faire voler... Le faire revenir vers soi, pas si simple... mais on prend réellement plaisir à apprendre. Il faut un bel espace un peu libre (champ, plage du Nord,... ), car cet engin volant part assez vite et assez loin en formant de belles trajectoires. Comme il est caoutchouté, le choc éventuel n'est pas violent.

First of all, make sure you order the Aerobie Orbiter that's made in the USA and not in China as the US one is definitely superior quality. Read the instructions on the back of the packaging to learn the proper technique of throwing it or watch some YouTube videos that demonstrate how to do so. There's a YouTube instructional video by the inventor of the Orbiter. It will definitely come back to you when thrown properly but you'll most likely have to move or run around a bit to try and catch it as the wind can alter the flight path at times. It's a great alternative to the Aerobie Pro Ring when you don't have someone else to play with and you'll still get a good workout at the same time. My personal best for throw and catch is 8 in a row but I also like to throw it hard which makes it fly further out but then harder to judge the catching location. I think it's a fantastic activity and product. :)

Beim ersten Wurf ist es mir schon ganz gut gelungen, vielleicht 10 Meter links vor mir gelandet. Und beim zweiten Wurf gleich gefangen. Danach legte der Wind zu und es wurde sehr schwer die Genauigkeit der ersten Würfe zu reproduzieren. Meine Freundin entdeckte, dass wenn man mit der Linken Hand über den Kopf abwirft, man weniger falsch machen kann. Abwurfwinkel und Höhe passen so besser. Musste sogar ich als Rechtswerfer einsehen. Man sollte auf die Beschreibung auf der Verpackung hören, lieber flacher und nicht zu steil abwerfen und vorallem nicht viel höher als Horizontlinie zielen. Die übrigen Bewertungen empfand ich als sehr widersprüchlich. Jeder Bummerang fliegt anders und man lernt es in der Regel nicht binnen Minuten!

Piacevole. Bellissimo vederne la traiettoria. Funziona bene
