Hey there,
In this video I take a look at the boomerang Ball. I saw an ad on Instagram from a company called flynova. The ball retails for about $40. The ad says you can even tops the ball like a boomerang and it will return. Let's check it out together!

As always have a great day!
Got three of them, on clearance, for $7.00 each. Everyone from my parents to my grandkids are acting like idiots out in the back yard. Best $21 I've ever spent. lol
Lol. Love it! Thanks for sharing. 😃
It’s a blessing to have parents AND grandkids at the same time… 🙂
I just got one for myself as well. My niece is getting one for Christmas and this was she and Auntie B can play with them together. My brother got himself one as well. I am hoping we will have fun and play together often :)
OMG ive been looking EVERYWHERE online and can't find em for less tham 70$!
Where did u find them?
@mleecthulhu check out Home Depot or lowes in their as seen on TV sections they have one for sale. Online retailers increase the price around Christmas. Thanks for stopping by and commenting 👍
Very nice for a child playing with dad, a nice childhood is the foundation of a good person. Live long and prosper
I just bought one for my granddaughter last night at walmart $16.95. Its called wonder spiral. It works good. My granddaughters father seem to hog it. He could get it to fly half a foot ball field . The granddaughter shes 3 years old . She gets so excited chasing it . Its more fun in the dark outside. Worth every penny. Granddaughter looks at it charging with red light. When its charged it turns green . She sees the green light and runs around house telling us its green. She want to fly it.
Got the same one from Walmart. A few bucks cheaper. They wanted 30 I wound up waiting and getting it for $14. Charging now. Watching video and commenting while it's charging. Glad to hear it works!! Well lights green now !! Time to play with my 4 year old grandson. Hope he likes it!!
I was frustrated at my Christmas gift thank you for showing me how to use it I learned so fast you’re a great teacher and father sir 😁 merry Christmas
That's awesome, glad it helped and thanks for the kind words. Have a great day and stay safe.
That boy was having what is called pure fun. Great to see!
i remember when i took one to the park. some kid grabbed it and threw it. it literally started hovering away. ive had the boomerang ball for a few months and its still as fun as the first day i got it. im glad you explained how it works in the video. a lot of people call it a scam. it just depends on whether you bought the real one or not, and if the moter is too heavy.
It really is a cool ball... once you get the hang of it. Lol. Thanks for sharing.
which one is the knock off? flynova or wonder sphere?
I can't imagine what kid wouldn't love that toy. Your little guy sure did (too cute). I agree that it'd be better with a longer play time.
He loves it and so do I. Lol... good for kids of all ages ha. Thanks for stopping by and commenting.
I can't imagine an adult who wouldn't want one.
@@Chris-Christopher- Lol your right
love u
I bought this as a gift for my partner....so I wanted to see if it worked. I couldn't get it to run and thought it was broken. I watched your video.. and it started right up. I was laughing so much chasing it around the house. Thanks for the helpful video. Christmas should be a hoot...when they open this gift. 🤪🎄😏
Happy to help. They are definitely a lot of fun. Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment 🙂 👍
Excellent review! Got this for my son in law for xmas 2022, and your demo was extremely helpful! Your style of review is AWESOME! Subscribing!
I appreciate the feedback and support! Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment 🙂 👍
The one I got at home Depot is called the Wonder Ball. I don't know if it's me or whatever but I can't get it to hover and it seems a little bit heavy or maybe it's just not spinning fast enough to gain altitude but when I toss it across the room it sort of flies more like a controlled falling and then it bounces around and then usually ends up upside down and still spinning. It really isn't for a dog because they tend to tear things up like this very easily but I got a little bit of a workout just chasing the darn thing so there's that.
Thank You, Thank You, Thank You!!! Got this for my boys & this video by far is the best one to show them how to use it!!!
That's awesome! Happy to help. Thanks for sharing.
That is the coolest thing I’ve seen in a long time… I have to admit that is one of your more awesome items you reviewed
I'll admit, once I got the hang of it, it is pretty fun... the hard part is sharing...lol. guess I'm getting 2 haha. Thanks for stopping by and commenting.
Thank you so much for this video I was having major difficulties trying to do the boomerang toss now I can actually do it now👍
Must be a living Dream for your boy to have such a dad :)) god bless you
Lol. Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment 🙂 👍
You make it look so easy! Amazing video!
Lol...took a lot of practice. Thanks for taking the time to comment.
Yes!!! Very cool, Thanks for the show!!!😎☺️
I was given this as a gift... the instructions were clearly not written by someone whose first language was English, so I'm pleased to learn about how to do the boomerang throw. It is also supposed to hover, and I was hoping to see that as well.
The hover is pretty easy. I hold my hand as flat as possible and move it as needed. It's all about balance and wind control.
Jeff, good video. Love that rural area. Plenty of room for roaming (and flying).
Glad you liked it! The country is a great place to learn how to use the hover Ball - lol. Thanks for stopping by and commenting.
That looks like hours of fun for the kids - I can tell your son really enjoyed playing with it :)
Lol...he sure did...hours of fun 10 minutes at a time. Ha. Thanks for stopping by and commenting.
Same as with a drone, hours of fun (8-10 minutes at a time). $40 is a lot for a 10 minute playtime. that $40 is half price btw.
48 years young and still alot of fun
Very good video! I ordered 2, the first one came for my 6 yr old grandson, who's loving it after 2 days of playing with it, and the next one is on the way, for my 3 yr old (and very precocious!) granddaughter. If you learn how to use it the right way, this toy will put a smile on the lucky kid who gets one!
It is a lot of fun. Thanks for sharing 👍
Thank you for your review. You have helped me make a decision for my two nephews and niece ages 6-10 -
Very cool! Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment 🙂 👍
Just got this for my son recovering from a stroke for his range of motion love it!
very cool, thanks for sharing!
Thanks for the review! We purchased it for my 4yr old grandson. I'm guessing his dad will have to help him with this a lot. Looks like fun.
Absolutely! They are a lot of fun. Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment 🙂 👍
I loved you review. It was very helpful and fun. Thanks!
Glad you liked it. Thanks for stopping by and commenting 👍
I just bought this item for a friend's daughter for Christmas. I wanted to see how if it worked and the instructions are not the best at helping me understand. I will definitely send this video to her mom so she can understand better how it works. Thanks for the great video.
Happy to help and thanks for sharing! 👍
Our cat loves to chase it all through the yard. Still practicing, but having fun.
Go Bills!!!
Keep at it, it gets easier over time. Oh yeah Go BILLS!
It's pretty cool when you put it upside down On the floor, so it stays on the floor. the cats were interested in it that way, but not when it was in the air...lol
Go Bills!
fantastic review that I absolutely needed before I gave this thing to my niece. (amazing uncle present BTW). Subscribed!
Lol...this an amazing uncle gift! Let us know what she thinks. Thanks for the support! 😃 👍
Thanks for the demonstration 👍🏾
Happy to help! Thanks for stopping by and commenting 👍
I just bought one of these for my grandsons (and me) and this video was very helpful in getting me started on using.
Only caution, when using inside keep clear of other people. It hit my wife on the head. She was not happy.
Lol. That is correct, make sure to keep away from spectators. Thanks for stopping by and commenting 👍
It can hit you in the face and you won't get hurt. Annoyed, but not hurt.
@@maryjanegreen7601 But is there a chance of it sucking someone's hair into the fan if it hits their head area?? That is what I want to know! 😬 LOL
@@kmokatz Some people think so, a co worker was concerned about that. Just be careful.
I have a Kmart flying ball. First time on a blade snapped on startup as it hit the gear. Return for replacement & it started ok but didn't have any power dropping to ground the LED light came unglued & its also the power.
got one for my granddaughter, can’t wait to try it myself😊
They are a lot of fun! Let us know what you think. Thanks for stopping by and commenting 👍
I got one last night at work. People have been returning them, not understanding how to use it. It's fun. The frustrating part is the short run time. At only $15, maybe I need more than one. It's a fun toy, gets you moving.
Hi Jeff, I bought this to play around with because it looked interesting. I will need to put more time into it, to figure out how to use it in the ways you mentioned. Thanks for uploading this review it’s been very helpful and has made me realise, I need to practice more.
Happy to help! It for sure takes some getting used to. Thanks for stopping by and commenting 🙂 👍
Hi Jeff, thanks for this video, I’ll practice the way you throw. One question, how to stop it? Ten on/off button is under the frame, thus when it turn the whole thing inside turns quickly, cna t access the off button.
Very cool demo ,very informative!😄
Happy to help. Thanks for stopping by and commenting.
Which would be a good Christmas gift for someone who has never used one and does not want to practice?
I'm just getting ready to try mine out. ....❤thank u
Absolutely! Have fun! Thanks for stopping by and commenting 👍
Thanks for your honest review
Absolutely. Thanks for stopping by and commenting 👍
Thanks for the hair warning. I got a set of three for $40 for my grandchildren. One has long hair so now I know how to coach them. I’m playing with one to get the feel and learn how to show them how it works. Thanks.
They are a lot of fun, I hope they enjoy. Thanks for stopping by and commenting 👍
You put this link in your video of the string thing and your son was in it and he's here too. Nice touch with the family review. He looked like he was having fun in both videos.
Two of his favorite items I've reviewed. Especially since he gets to keep them when I'm done. Lol. Thanks for stopping by and commenting 👍
I can’t thank you enough for this, I ordered two , it should fun
You are very welcome. Thanks for stopping by and commenting 👍
Just got one for the grandson! We’ll see ! 😊
ive read on
another site it can be bluetooth capable. i dont know if its the same for this ball
Still figuring out! My one has a plastic remote that starts/stops it rather than shaking it. When you hold it at an angle to get the boomerang I assume the USB socket end is facing towards you? After a year is yours still working as it does like a short life for this is likely!
I can't count the number of times I've seen a young boy (or girl) having a game of catch for the first time, and took forever to (also, not be afraid of and) catch the ball. With this thing... it "floats" so kids have a chance to catch it (and not be so afraid of something being thrown at them)! Awesome toy. I'm over 50, and though I see a lot of toys that I would have loved to own when I was younger (at least under 20)... I really kind of want to get one of these things (plus, I *L-O-V-E* things that light-up)!! I almost bought that "functioning" Eye of Agamotto" (toy) from Doctor Strange... but decided not to. I'd have "played" Doctor Strange for about 10 minutes, then put that thing on its stand and never touch it again. But this hover ball... I also have cats, and I know that thing would drive them nuts. I HAVE TO GET ONE!!!
Lol. I'm the same way. The toys kids have these days are awesome. You won't be disappointed with the hover ball...unless it doesn't come back...lol. thanks for stopping by and commenting
@@Jeffreviews4u I got hair stuck in my wondersphere, how do I open the ball up to get it out?
@@pransguy_01 it doesn't open. Might be able to get it out with precision tweezers?
@@katymorris7853Just have to laugh. Her or his hair got stuck. That was posted one year ago. So 3 months later this was posted. I could see that person waiting 3 months for an answer walking around with a Wonderball stuck to her head. 😂
Cool little toy. Bought my grandson one for Christmas. We are watching video as it charges. Like the video!! Like the Gators even better!!! Doesnt llook like video was made in Florida though!! Gonna check out more of your cool videos for some more cool toys to buy for my cool grandsons!!
Thanks for your realistic review
Absolutely! happy to help.
I just picked up one of these or well a similar one at walmart for less then 10 bucks on clearance, no regrets so far, fun little toy.
I got.But is effects like a good and is throws coming away
So I ordered the product but it didn’t come with a outlet to plug it in too do you have a suggestion what I can use or plug it in too?
The first time I tried it, I lost the light thing. Thank you for the demonstration.
They are easy to lose, especially if it is windy. Thanks for stopping by and commenting 👍
$40!! I paid half that for mine! Your video was encouraging, as it can be so frustrating at first! I was glad to see it wasn't just me!
I got mine at Walmart for 14.99.
Tried to get one for my grandson for Christmas. Purchased first week of December and did not arrive until first week of January. Fan has never turned on. Big disappointment to a 9 year old boy and his grandfather and waste of $30. Good to see you got one that worked.
I'm late getting to this video review, and it's 2023 now, so Jeff, please tell us if the life of the ball is long or short. I know you said 8 minutes running time, and even drones work a short 30 mins. or more or less, but what is the quality in the long run of this flying ball? Thanks for your time. Terry
I ordered it but havent got it yet! Thanks for the info!!
Thanks, Jeff! Will not charge because the USB port on it will not fit into any of my charging ports! I won’t be able use it if I can’t figure this out. Any suggestions? Thank you!!
I do enjoy real boomerangs, and when I was new it took a while before I learned how to throw one so it returns to me. Each boomerang is different, some much more challenging than others. What I would like for this Boomerang Ball, is to be able to throw it long distances and have it return to me. It certainly can't be thrown as far as a real one, but the short distance of the return makes it seem like it would get boring quickly. Plus, the spinning and flying of real boomerangs, the skill of capturing physics in aerodynamics, make them enjoyable for long periods of time.
Thanks so much I was so confused! It is definitely a learning process. So thank you for showing me how to turn it on and much much more on my three year old now I having so much fun.😊
Happy to help and have fun. Thanks for stopping by and commenting 👍
How to turn off
@Takoyaki Is great shake it. Thanks for stopping by and commenting 👍
Yes I love that
It is pretty sweet! Thanks for stopping by and commenting 👍
I got this for my ADD spouse and he's very excited to try it. I sent him this to both explain wtf I got him and how to use it, lol.
As said ADD spouse, this thing is amazing and I am also glad to know that it's not uncommon for it to plummet to the ground at exceptional speed if it flips the fan upside down
Also thank you to my lovely wonderful partner
Hi, you had a young child play with it, and I was thinking the same with mine who is similar age but is there a risk of their fingers going inside when it is on?
Looks like fun, it takes some practice. Look what some people have done with skate boards, a piece of plywood with some small wheels on it.
It is a lot of fun. Thanks for stopping by and commenting 👍
Hey Man ..! Went and got one after seeing one at my stepsons for Christmas !! We got it down .. after about an hour .. very cool for the price !!
Great review! It looks like a fun thing, esp night flights!
It is a pretty cool toy! Thanks for stopping by and commenting 🙂
Hey Jeff...first thanks for the great review! Now to the our experience...Our Flynova Pro just simply flew away. We were trying it out (once) in a big play field near our home with our six year old grandson. He, of course, got the first toss (and the last). The device went up and up and up. The three of us watched at first amused, then concerned and finally frustrated. The Flynova Pro literally flew out of sight. We all looked around in the sky for some time, but no luck. Our grandson was quite unhappy and we were perplexed. What happened?! Some of the reviews state that the device can go up to 15 meters up if you use the 'magic wand'. Some have said they flew it over their house. I have to say our device could have flow over some of the skyscrapers in downtown Seattle. So, if you can reflect on this it would be great. We actually purchased two of these, but are now very hesitant to use the second one. The Flynova Pro may just fly away again!
I am very impressed with your response to most of the 219 comments.
That stinks! The highest I was able to get mine was about 30 ft (9 m). It shouldn't go up and up and disappear unless it caught some wind. What I do with my son is, we first practiced in the house (in a room without breakable item). When we went outside the first time I ran down the battery for a couple of minutes. That way it wasn't a full charge and wouldn't take off.
Sorry I couldn't troubleshoot specifics. Hope round 2 is better.
Do you have the magic wand with yours?
Thanks for sharing your experience with this item and commenting 👍
@@Jeffreviews4u Thanks for the reply! First, there was no noticeable wind when the toy went up and disappeared. Without a garage, can not say we have any rooms without breakable items. Not sure about running down the battery since there is no way to measure the charge. I searched all the reviews on Amazon for one of the recommended companies that sold this and found that 21 other customers had the same result that I had. The best solution I saw for this major problem was to tie a string to it. Not ideal, but better than watch $30 to $40 liter fly away. Less I deem this. Piece of crap, the seller needs to address this major issue!
@@Jeffreviews4u
It’s pretty cool device I have one myself. I just got it from other day at Walmart in Rapid City, SD
Very cool! Thanks for sharing.
My one doesn't work properly. Theirs a on and off switch that separate from the ball and you cant shake it to turn it on...
i've just got it for this Christmas i like it and also the electric scooter i tried it out that was cool you can use the electric mode or just push your own self like a normal scooter
Thanks for sharing and the scooter sounds cool. Thanks for stopping by and commenting.
mine flew into the pool while activated, the minute i fished it out it kept running, the fan shook out all the water and still works for now
I just got one today
I love ❤️ how HAPPY that child is!! 😍
EDIT: I got to the end. $40 bucks?!?! OUCH! That's painful. I just picked up one from Walmart for around $15.00. But appreciate the video!👍 It was much better than the one the QR code directed me to! Keep it up!
They dropped in price after Christmas last year. I was able to pick up a couple extra for $15. Thanks for stopping by and commenting 👍
I just bought one off Groupon for $5.99! Plus shipping.
On amazon its 25.99$
@@duckhatmomo I got mine on Amazon for 11$
i also found one for 11$ before deciding to buy the more expensive one
Yeah I like that! Good review sir!
It is pretty sweet once you get the hang of it. Thanks for taking the time to comment!
We bought two galaxy balls for our grand kids because we thought they would be a nice Christmas present for them. After they arrived in the mail we decided to test them out to see how they work. My wife turned it on and threw it into the air to see how it would fly. She kept throwing it into the air but it was very difficult to control its flight. After many attempts we both decided that it was far too difficulty for our grand kids who are ages 4-10 to operate and control. Because of that, we both decided to return the product back to the store for a full refund. I think an older kid and some adults would have fun playing with this toys outdoors after learning how to control its flight. Perhaps this toys would be better suited for kids older than 10 years old and perhaps some adults but not little kids.
Thanks Jeff it’s the lights that excite however, I would probably buy a group of them for 7$ a piece. Anything over that they can keep it besides it’s always a charger involved with all the new toys now a days ❗️‼️💯💯💯3rd 👁️ flying ball comment 💥💥💥
Don't even think twice about it, this product is pure garabage and does not work as advertised.
kinda cool, that was a good catch by your son , which made me think that is a cool toy for kids to get better hand eye coordination, could help with football skilzzz lol, lol
Ordered one on Amazon saw it on yt shorts wanted to see what it looked like looks pretty cool
Very cool! Thanks for sharing.
I got one of these for Christmas and my initial take was the same as yours. It just seems to randomly do its own thing. Hilarious at first but the joke gets old fast. Thanks for demonstrating that it can be, “tamed,” with a little practice. I’ll keep trying.
By the way, mine came with written instructions which said some thing about a, “magic wand,“ and some magnetic something or other. I did not see anything like that inside the box, though. Do you know anything about that?
Some of these come with a remote control to turn it off and on. That could possibly be the wand...not sure about the magnet. Keep practicing. I'm brave enough to use it inside now. Lol. Thanks for stopping by and commenting.
I picked up a few more of these...these ones came with a magnet hat which clips above the motor. Seems to hold it upright and Flys a little easier. The wand is an optional extra purchase to control the lights in flight. Hope this helps. Thanks for stopping by and commenting.
I just ordered 2 of these. 1 for my son & 1 for my son in-law...I still haven't received notification/verification so, I hope they show up before Christmas....or at all🤦♀️
I bought one for $15 at home Depot yesterday thinking that it was a dog toy that I could control with my phone. I gave it a shot anyway and tried using it as a therapy device. I use it as a personal fan now.
Lol. It would be a good little fan. Haha. Thanks for stopping by and commenting 👍
Thank you for making this thing seem more logical! Yours is definitely built differently than mine. My model has got to be a cheap knockoff.
PS. You're Wonderful!!
Lol. There is a bit of a learning curve but can be a lot of fun. Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment! 😃👍
I have one it is pretty cool
It is a lot of fun to play with. Thanks for sharing. Have a great day and stay safe.
I have 1 they are amazing
I think so too! Thanks for stopping by and commenting 👍
Cut I sound I'm half and I wouldn't. REFUSED to try it...but im not sure how I could pick it over a drone cost same cost
It is a bit loud. Thanks for stopping by and commenting 🙂
Two questions:
1. Is the outside mesh of the ball made from metal or plastic?
2. How loud is it?
Thanks for the review!
It's made out of plastic and it is a bit nosey (72 dB) hope this helps. Thanks for stopping by and commenting.
@@Jeffreviews4u It's a bit nosey? Does it ask too many personal questions or something? (Sorry I couldn't resist being a bit of a wise guy on that one!) But I actually think the noise is kind of cool! Great review by the way.
@@TheHaratashi lol...I love auto correct.
You're great at doing videos Jeff! I was thinking 🤔 of buying one but I wanna know how you like it now that you have had it for a while
We still play with it, The price has dropped significantly and so we bought a few more. Thanks for stopping by and commenting.
im charging up the one i bought for my niece now, ive tried it to make sure it works, but it seems to just want to immediately flip upside down. well see how it goes i guess
Funny I stumbled onto your vids! I just had my wife but me the boomerang ball to give me for X-mas. So haven't tried it yet. I already bought the Zipstring and am having fun with it! Jeff, you should review another fidget toy called Morf! I just got that! I thought you might get a kick outta this! It's a trip! Different, and fun! See whatcha think! By the way, I'm a 63 year old kid! 😉👍
Bought me one
Love it
They are pretty sweet. Thanks for stopping by and commenting 👍
I love the ball it was a hit for 🎄
I agree! It is a lot of fun. Thanks for stopping by and commenting.
Hello, I really liked this toy, not sure but I assume that this boy wearing green that participated on this video is your son, how old is him ? How old would you believe or saying in this toy that an kid minimum age for playing this toy? I have 6 years old daughter and I'm wondering for buying it but not sure if she will enjoy play with it or just get frustrated with difícult at beginning... Can you reply those questions please? Thank you very much for your video
I'm 30 years old and I have a twin brother same age, I thought I'd be fun regardless of our age ha...I ordered one cause it looks fun and cool, Hope I won't regret it...I'm sure I wont...Really excited to play with it, Now it's the waiting game...boo
They are a lot of fun for kids of all ages. How did it go?
I got one I’m going try it
Let us know what you think. Thanks for stopping by and commenting 🙂
My 5 yearold has already tagged her finger accidentally while catching it. I am wondering what this thing will do to long hair if it gets sucked into the blades. Will it shut off and how quickly!?!?
Yikes! I hope your little one is ok. Definitely keep away from hair as it can get caught pretty easily. Thanks for stopping by and commenting 👍
looks like practice makes perfect.
Lol. Practice was also a lot of fun. Thanks for taking the time to comment.
Hi Jeff, of all places I saw one of these in one of end caps of a Lowes for 14.95….I like you bounced it off of the walls, the kids love it, but as you say after 10 mins it’s out of power…great review
Lol. I saw it at Lowes today. Thanks for sharing. 😃 👍
Thx
You're most welcome!

Me too 😉 lol. Thanks for stopping by and commenting 👍
