It feels firm when you hold it, but it's made of soft, foamed resin. You can adjust the shape (and thus the trajectory) by bending the wings. This is my first boomerang, and I thought the weight and size were just right. When I actually threw it, it didn't quite come back to me, but with practice, it curves almost all the way back, so I feel like I'm getting the hang of it. It's a used item♪ Please check the photos before purchasing ^ ^
