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 event slike Accuracy, where he was the first person to ever do a perfect round of 50 points in that event. Frido makes very few boomerangs, most of which are competition products. He 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 and Mahogany. Each tip has a lead weight. This one has Frido's signature on the underside with a date ef 2/97 and the words "Shape Rod Jones". I have test thrown this one and the flight is only about 35 metres, but it has a memory of where it was thrown from and it keeps trying to return, no matter how you throw it. I would have to say that this is one of the best flying boomerangs that I have ever thrown. It would be ideal for Sports throwing or for ussse in the Accuracy event. This boomerang is in excellent condition, but it does have surface wear from use.
