[HPforGrownups] Quidditch Brooms (short)

Perhaps, although if you look at real-world sports where each player has their own gear, I think there are differences there.  I don't think, for example, in skiing, that they all use the same skis.  I'm pretty sure that in speed skating, I've heard them talk about how one skater had one type of skate and someone else was using something different.  Also, if you think about it, if one team's richer player has the better broom, who's to say that the other side might not have someone as rich who has an equally higher-quality broom.  And it does come down to skill in the ond, because if player 1 isn't as skilled as player 2, but player 1 has the better broom, I would think player 2's still going to have the advantage since it takes skill no matter what kind of gear you've got.

  Doesn't anyone here think it's a bit unfair that
  different brooms are used in a Quidditch match, with
  the 'richer' players allowed to have the advantage of
  using faster brooms? IMO I think it would be more fair
  if all players are required to use the same type of
  broom. Cleansweeps they may be, at least the game
  comes down to pure skill.
