Carbon Fiber Impact Broom
Details
Goldline’s Carbon Fiber Impact broom merges high performance with an ease of use that is unrivalled in curling. To develop the Impact head, Goldline partnered with a Sports Engineer who is also a high performance curler.
During the development process, various designs were contemplated, and each was run through computer simulations to model out their performance. Once a final design was selected, it was approved by the World Curling Federation (WCF), and then put through thorough on-ice testing in Morris, Manitoba utilizing a state-of-the-art rock throwing machine to ensure consistent throws.
The test results proved that the Impact broom maximizes performance for carry, hold and carve.
Individually replaceable components help to reduce the overall cost of ownership over the lifetime of the broom, and also minimizes the environmental impact.
Each Carbon Fiber Impact broom comes equipped with a highly durable Impact Rec Sleeve, offering the most effective performance. The Rec Sleeve utilizes the same fabric Goldline has been using for years in our Norway, Airway and Airway X pads, and should typically last for about 25 games, or a full season if you’re curling once per week.
For those who need it, Impact Pro Sleeves are also available. The Pro Sleeve is WCF approved and can be used in any competitive play that requires WCF certified equipment. Pro sleeves are available both individually and in packs of 10.
The Impact Head features the same quick release hosel as the Goldline Air and Air X Heads. This allows you to quickly and easily remove the entire head from the handle, either to replace or upgrade your existing head, or for easy storage and transport.
The pad assembly attaches to the head, and is made up of a two-part base, a closed cell foam and a sleeve of your choice, with each part being individually replaceable. The assembly is attached to the head by two push-buttons, giving confidence that your pad will remain in place when you need it to, while making it easy to remove when it is time to replace components.
We have also re-introduced our Grip Zone Technology to the lower third of the handle. For players who are exerting their maximum effort while sweeping, the Grip Zone will make sure your hands remain locked in place, even with your full weight applied to the broom.
The Carbon Fiber Impact broom comes pre-assembled and fully equipped with everything you need to get right on the ice. This includes a carbon fiber handle with grip coating, an Impact Head, an Impact Foam, an Impact Pad Base and an Impact Rec Sleeve.
Watch as our CEO, Pete Townshend, demonstrates how to switch the sleeve on an Impact Head.

My new broom recommendation for all curlers
Quinn W.| 10/6/2022 7:24 AM
I was a big fan of my Airway head, but since I started using the new Impact head, I can't switch back. I am obsessed with the new Impact head design. I have been playing on the Ontario Women's Tour with it so far this season and can't get enough. It's so much lighter during your brush stroke. I really noticed the weight difference on my pull motion. I have tried the other brands that have similar head designs to the Impact broom, but none of them compare to it. Would highly recommend the new Impact broom to anyone at the club or tour level.

C'est des balais super, bonne fabrication et facile à défaire lorsqu'on connait la façon de les défaire. Qui devrait être pour le moment avec le balai et la marche à suivre pour un bout de temps. J'aimerais savoir pourquoi le temps de livraison a doublé? J'ai toujours eu un service très rapide pour la livraison
worth it

Nice weight... grip zone really does work
So Happy I Upgraded to the Impact

I have had an early generation Carbon Fiber broom, and mentally could not justify buying a new broom, because mine was working well enough. 20 games or so into ownership of the Impact Broom, I'm glad I decided to upgrade. The sweeping performance is amazing, and for people who are playing multiple times a week, or going to spiels, the weight savings that seem insignificant on paper really make a difference in preventing fatigue
Grip Zone + Impact Head = Super Effective Broom

The Impact Broom is a huge upgrade from the Air broom, especially for the competitive curler. The thickness and weight of the broom's shaft makes it easy to apply pressure, and the Grip-Zone tech allows for more weight transfer into the broom head without your hands slipping down. The button mechanic is easy to use and works well-- the button screw can loosen over time, but it's a super quick fix with a paper clip (if it even loosens at all). I highly recommend this broom for anyone searching for a modern, effective, and easy-to-use curling broom!
Good sweeping

I purchased this product as a gift for my husband and he was very pleased with the wider broom that was lightweight and very colorful.
Handle is great, head is a cheap design that fails.

Out of the box I loved it. Within 3 games the pad would not stay attached to the head. Contacted customer service and they are aware of the issue and told me to tighten the rings on the underside of the head. This worked, for a short time, but it continues to be an issue. As much as I like the handle and grip zone, the head design is poor.
Happy Sweeper

I purchased this broom at the beginning of the curling season as an upgrade to my Fiberlite Air and waited a few months to give an honest review. As a club level curler this broom is in excess of what I need although I can say without a doubt that it has dramatically improved my sweeping game. In addition, the Impact Rec Sleeve is the most durable and cost effective replacement pad I have found. I highly recommend this product to anyone that is ready to commit to a top tier Carbon Fiber broom.
Must buy for intermediate or begginers.

This is a fantastic broom. Incredible for league play and beer leagues alike. Extremely happy with the quality and performance of it.

Upgrade from Hardline Broom

I decided to make a switch from my hardline broom to the Goldline Impact broom after borrowing one from someone at my club. It's a very well-made broom.
