@@curlingfan6339 Wow I thought you guys just stopped posting, that's great. I have a question, I want to start curling competitively in u18 bonspiels and stuff what would be the best shoes to hold up to a curler like me who curls for hours on end 4-5 times a week. I'm also interested in the best broom for competitive curling or if it is all the same because you have to use the specific fabric. Thank you
@@matthewlannoye hi Matthew. In terms of durability the BalancePlus Delux is the most long lasting shoe. I’ve seen pairs 20+ years old. They are a little heavier than some of the newer sneaker style models if you are a front end player and prefer something lightweight. The Goldline Cyclone or BalancePlus 704 are better for lightweight. You should use a 1/4” slider for sure if you are playing that much. To avoid premature wear on your shoes remove the insoles if they are wet after your games and don’t move rocks with the side of your shoes. Side of the stone is like sandpaper and will damage the upper of the shoe. For brooms my pick is the BalancePlus Lightspeed as it is the lightest. Hardline is our most popular though for competitive curlers. The Lightspeed is 25% lighter and the competitive heads are basically the same so I believe lighter weight is an advantage. Let me know if you have additional questions
Why are you guys not posting anymore?
Hi Matthew, we usually do videos every other season to wait for enough new products to do a bunch at a time. I hope to do more this summer/fall.
