Launching the Boomerang

Boomerang is launched close to upright (vertical), 45o to the right of the wind* and aimed upward at 5o (just above horizon). The boomerang is gripped firmly with the flat side away (to the right*) and cocked back as far as comfortable to impart maximum spin.

*Left handed throwers should throw using the same motion unless using a left handed boomerang, in which case the throw should be 45o to the left of the wind. The boomerang should be held with the flat side to the left.
