Tickmeister,
I believe you are referring to Furgale Industries that owns 8-ender brushes. I just checked their website to see the 10" is not listed, but that doesn't mean a phone call wouldn't get different results. So, it is worth a try. I will agree that you have to be an animal to work that 10" for an entire weekend and not feel like you have Jello arms on Sunday.
I have used about every horse hair head out there. When I started curling, a lot of clubs here in North Dakota had pretty frosty ice. My favorite now, is to use the Goldline Element composite handle with the "performance style" oval horse hair head. Since the Element has a fixed head position, I find it to work similar to the transformer brooms. I particularly like the short dense bristles on those heads over the 8-ender heads though.
And if you scoff at using a composite handle instead of carbon fiber, you could buy an additional carbon handled broom from Goldline and swap the handle with the composite one from the Element brush. Then put the pivoting head on the composite shaft and sell that to a curler at your club.
