A man's ability to adapt to any situation is an important part of his masculinity. We're republishing an illustrated guide from our archive every Sunday so that you can improve your manly knowledge week by week.
The process usually goes like this: You buy a boomerang in a toy shop because it sounds interesting. You can throw it in an open field. Throw it half a dozen times, only to hear it crash to the ground about 20 feet from where you are standing. Place the boomerang at the back of the closet and forget about it.
It's easy to understand why boomerangs frustrate. It's not intuitive like throwing a football or baseball. The key to a successful throw is the correct grip, throwing motion and evaluation of your circumstances. Make sure you are using a "returning" boomerang. Many of them are only for decoration and fly around as well as snow globes.
