Bob Letson was very active in the competition circuit back in the 1980s. He surprised everyone by using a very odd looking "Tennis Racket" boomerang in competition. These not only worked well, but they had an odd straight-out-and-almost-straight-back flight with a very small turning radius at the point of maximum range. Bob made very few of these tennis racket boomerangs for others. They are rarely offered for sale and only found in a few older collections. The tennis racket boomerangs usually come stringed and look like they are ready to use in a game of tennis. They will work with the strings, but only in stronger winds. In light to moderate winds, you need to cut the strings off for best performance. It is a pain to restring these, so most collectors don't throw thesse and leave the strings on.

This item is the single arch model in used condition, and with the strings attached. The wrapping on the handle grip is the only wear on this boomerang and the wrap can be replaced easily. This is the regular model that is easier to throw and is what Bob used to win Aussie Round in the 1986 USBA Nationals.
