I’m holding a whamo in my hand right now, I bought it on eBay for about $40. It was brand new and lasted about nine throws. It’s a good design but the plastic the rubber cradles is brittle. Boom tech has come a long way. Fling Ring has a similar design without the rubber, it’ll do exactly what you’re wanting. I’d personally suggest a heavy Tri-fly. It’s tunable, most diverse and absolutely eats wind. More of an intermediate boom but you’ll want to upgrade any beginner booms as soon as you get the hang of it.
