Tuning up your hardware
A little goes a long way!
"Today."
Weights
Putting weights on your rangs for more distance and better wind performance.
Bending
Bending and twisting. Learn the basics of what affects your boom flight in what way. What makes a rang fly higher, hover longer, go further, become more catchable.
These tips can also be very helpful in order to tune your rang up to your very personal throwing style.

Most people do not fully understand that when they purchase a boomerang - even if it is a good one - they still get some kind of a well functioning blank, not more and not less.
These tips here are meant to help you to make the most of this blank, for whatever purpose. Be it that you want your rang to fly further (shorter), higher (lower), become easier catchable, hover longer, spin faster - the possibilities are numerous. You just have to decide what you want your boomerang to do - and under what kind of circumstances.
Adapting
Another idea: you have a boomerang and you are not quite happy with the way it works, because it doesn't fit your natural throwing style (some people have a more sidearm throw, others tend to a more vertical release e.g.). What do you do about it? Well, a lot can be altered through the understanding of the use of weight distribution.
"What one understands is only half true. What one does not understand is the full truth." Zen saying.
There is but one success -
to be able to spend your
life in your own way.
