Qsh bearing
« on: March 04, 2017, 07:33:14 PM »

Maybe this has been addressed earlier . Wondering throwing boomerang ..string gets hung up on tip a lot ..using a thicker string I bought from dale o .wrapping first wraps real tight seems to help ..don't want to send it through a window :)

check to see if theres an agressive burr on the shoulder of the tip, might be catching the line

First two wraps are tight - then normal wrap. I don't use knots - I use HEAT SHRINK with C.A. TRY IT.

This can also be caused by the string being too long, or by having a hesitation and / or an early snap in your boomerang.

If the string gets some moisture in it, sometimes it will start to act differently.  Even some sweat will occasionally cause it to catch a bit as it is unwinding.
