I bought two of these boomerangs, the Ranier and this one and I must say that the Aspen is much easier to throw and have it return in your vicinity. Shouldn't be surprising though since this is a beginner boomerang. Lots of fun and perfect if this is your first boomerang.

This was one of the first boomerangs I bought in 1992 or 1993, after my collection was stolen. If thrown properly, it is an excellent returner, and has a relatively small radius which is good when throwing room is limited. If you follow the instructions, it will last for years (do not throw over concrete or asphalt, watch out for trees, DO NOT THROW SIDEARM; that can be death for even the most well constructed boomerang). It is light, and one of the easiest ones to catch, and one of the few that can be thrown both right and left handed. One other hint: it requires spin much more than hand strength, and if it's not returning, try not throwing as hard.

This product took me almost a year to finally catch. It wont come but within 15 feet of you.It might be good for a pro but its not good for a beginner rang.
