Frido Frost is one of Germany's most talented boomerang
makers and throwers. He has been world champion several
times and has held world records in events like Accuracy,
where he was the first person to ever do a perfect round of
50 points. Frido makes very few boomerangs, most of which
are his personal competition equipment. Frido has made a few
strip laminated beauties and this is one of the best that I
have ever seen. The strips are exotic woods like Ebony,
Black Palm and Mahogany. Each tip has a lead weight. Frido's
signature, the date 2/97 and the words " Shape Rod Jones "
are written on the underside. I have test thrown this one
and the flight is approximately 35 metres. It seems to have
a memory of where it was thrown from and it keeps trying to
return, no matter how you throw it. This is one of the
better flying boomerangs that I have thrown. It would be
ideal for Sports throwing or for use in the Accuracy event.
This boomerang is in very good condition, but it does have
surface wear from use and a couple of tiny edge chips that
are grain pull-outs of the outer plies of Black Palm. These
can easily be sanded smooth if needed.
