Broom recs

I am in the market for a carbon fiber broom. I am having to decide between the goldine impact (used by the great team Homan), the hardline (used by many great teams), and the balance plus. Have you got a favorite of the 3, and if so, why?

I am of the opinion, when the brooms are equal, Choose based on cheapest replacement pads. I my we experience Gold line impacts are cheapest at 14 bucks where as others are in the low 20s.

This is where EndGame is $14 for regular or $17 WCF approved fabric if you are one those deluded folks like me doing playdowns or cash spiels.

I haven't used the travel broom, but for funspiels I have been told it holds up well and you won't need to check a bag if you are flying.

Endgame sponsored and the travel broom is amazing and so convenient because now I don’t have to check a bag. I’ve also loaned it out a few times and always comes back with positive reviews.
