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.
