I doubt if the officials will be looking at any part of the broom above the pad.
That is, if they even look at all.

A very simple solution to broom shafts that are too slippery is to put some hockey tape where you hold the broom.

lol. You'll be breaking the new broom rule by modifying the broom.

"No modified, custom made or home-made sweeping equipment will be allowed."

Good Luck

Toronto_curler My BalancePlus broom with the tacky handle is still reasonably tacky after two years of pretty heavy usage.

A good pair of curling gloves (if you aren't using them already) can also go a long way to improving grip.
USAnewbie Question for the curling experts...

I have a performance broom that did have the enhanced grip (or tacky grip/rosin) but this has gone away within just a couple of months and the broom is slippery now and hard to hold onto while delivering,

My question is, is there something I can put on the broom to replace/mimic the enhanced or tacky grip?

Anyone else run into this issue with peformance broom? I see that BalancePlus has this tacky grip, anyone have this one and does it last for a long time?

Thanks!
