360 Fire
By Eloria Felton
The 360 Fire is unique in the line of 360 brooms. Specially made for Keepers, this broom has been used by many professionals such as Domis Dunsday who is the Keeper for the Puddlemore United Team. It is known for dependability and stability which all players of Quidditch know, are the two vital things you need in a broom.

Because the position of Keeper is so demanding, the broom handle is made an extra inch thicker. This allows the rider to have a better grasp on the broom and have it support their weight. Right before where the brush of the broom attaches to the handle, the broom is flattened out, allowing you to hit the quaffle with your broom much farther than if you were on any other broom. This is the patented "Keeper Kick" and can only be found on THIS broom. All brooms include a longer handle than most would find, ensuring that a keeper has every chance to use their keeper kick.

The 360 Fire comes in oak or maple, with fine ash twigs for the brush. Anti-theft charms and buzzer are included, as well a two-year or 2000 mile warranty. Hand crafted by former Keeper, Jacnonn McNillan, it is ensured to help any Keeper with their game.

360 Hurricane
By Eloria Felton
The 360 Hurricane was the first of the 360 series racing brooms. The hurricane, with its sleek design and amazing turning abilities, is one of the top brooms available today.

The 360 Hurricane comes in 3 available sizes to fit any wizard! It comes in the one meter, (for riders 5 feet and under) the one and 1/2 meter (for riders 5 to 5 3/4 feet) and the classic 2 meter, (suggested for riders at LEAST 5 1/2 feet). All sizes are made so the rider is comfortable and in control of the broom.

You also have a choice of two different woods you wish your Hurricane to be made up of! Oak provides a more stable wood, allowing the rider to be more precise and in control, while ash allows the rider to adjust acceleration within the blink of an eye, and reach record-breaking speeds. The broom bristles are made of hand-picked ash tree branches, and trimmed to perfection.

The Hurricane can reach speeds of 96 MILES PER HOUR! Perfect for games of Quidditch and Quodpot, for any player in ANY position. With a turning radius of only 5 centimeters, and the ability to go from 0 mph to 90 mph in less than 2 seconds, the Hurricane offers the perfection the professionals demand.

The Hurricane comes standard with four anti-theft spells, a security buzzer, and a two year guarantee. Within that time period, if anything happens to your broom, from a bristle out of place to it completely snapping in half, return your broom the place of purchase for a replacement broom.

Arrowind
By J9a
Calling all Quidditch players! This new broomstick - the Arrowind - was just released and is comparable to no other broomstick out there, even the beloved Firebolt. The Arrowind contains features that have previously only been dreamed about.

Jet black, made with wood from trees found only deep in the forests of Albania, this handcrafted broomstick can reach speeds of 120 mph. For nighttime journeys, the handle glows an ocean blue color, casting light upon your surroundings and visible to no one but the rider(s).
Up to three people may fit comfortably on the broom for short distances only. Otherwise, strain will be placed on the broom and may cause its other features to malfunction slightly.

Also for journeys, a map is built in. Just tap the broom with your wand and say "apprioten!" and a map will spring out showing where you are. Amazingly enough, it has a feature similar to the Marauder's Map. A list on the side of the map will show who is in the area as well as their general location.

This broomstick is great for witches and wizards of all ages and is currently available in Quality Quidditch Supplies in Diagon Alley. Buy one today!
