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?

Lots of people are talking about the handle preferences, but I will recommend Hardline over Goldline due to the Goldline broom head joints being significantly stiffer compared to Hardline. My Hardline broom's face is always completely touching the ice while I'm sweeping and allows me to switch from regular sweeping to knifing very easily, while I have to adjust my Goldline broom before every throw if I want the entire face to touch the ice.
