hey buddy i had the same issue at first i used to play when i was little 15 years ago trying to get back into it the boomerang was one of my fav tricks what you need to do is get some confidence in yourself throw the top with more strength and less of an agle almost key word almost straight down if its coming back to you from the side is because of the angle ur throwing the top so practice on that also the more force you put into it the more centrical force should make the top be straighter if u keep having a hard time with this try youtubing the boomerang there are a lot of vids posted so u can see and learn new tricks or techniques good luck to you buddy
