The Swiftstick is the second racing broom created by Ellerby and Spudmore.[1]

About[]

The Swiftstick was faster than the company's first racing broom, the Tinderblast. However, it had the tendency to lose power during ascent.[1]

History[]

In 1950, Ellerby and Spudmore launched their second racing broom, the Swiftstick, twelve years after the first. Because it had a habit of losing power on ascent, the broomstick didn't get used by professional Quidditch teams.[1]
