Boomerang

Boomerang is one of the most impressive looping-style tricks for beginners. Instead of staying below your hand, the yoyo shoots forward and comes back like a real boomerang. It also helps improve your timing and string control.

How to Do the Boomerang

Start with a Sleeper. About halfway through the trick, place the string over your left index finger. Then "throw" the yoyo forward by bouncing it off the string above your right hand.

Tips for a Smooth Flight

To make the yoyo travel forward, move your right hand closer to your left hand. Start with only a small movement while you're learning. Once you're comfortable with the trick, you can bring your hands much closer together—but be careful not to burn your fingers with the spinning string!
