Product reviews for Pro-Slide by Reid Carruthers

One game only but transition from a Stabilizer was simple. Lower top height but more grip options.
More stable. Heavier than expected but not really an issue on the ice.
Neg : cost,

After a month using pro slide I'm pleased to report that it is amazing.  Due to its sturdy construction and large surface area it enables me to have a longer slide and much more steady resulting in me making a higher percentage of shots. I no longer feel like I'm going to fall over when I throw a rock.  Excellent product.

If you're going to use a stabilizer, you might as well embrace it and use the biggest baddest one out there. Works great, and indestructable.

Just bought this , used to use the asham device, I only used it once so far but was able to better use to throw rocks.  better deliver options. Very fast as well no drag. I think I'm going to love it very stable recommend to everyone trying to get more accuracy in your shot.  

I bought the pro-slide after waiting months for it be available on the market but after a month sold it and went back to my Earl Morris designed stabilizer. I really liked the look and feel of the pro-slide, but the curved handle design means it's shorter than the stabilizer and I couldn't get used to to lower height. If they made a taller version of the pro-slide I'd get it.

Love it. Love the option for hand height. Played in a provincial with it and after adjusting for increased speed. Shot great. Highly recommend.

Had work done on my knee a few years ago. starting looking for a sliding aid. tried a few different ones. ran in Reid in Brandon one time and asked him about his. we talked alittle  he sold me one. best move I ever made. it is stable it is fast easy to through  with and has help both my knee pain and accuracy with shoots.

Have tried other stabilizers for years and this is by far the best.  I love the stability when sliding and the weight. The height although lower than others on the market has never been an issue and I was able to transition to it quickly  

I switched to pro slide after using other stabilizers.  I like the weight and stability and the height. $$ but worth it

I ordered the Pro-Slide after speaking to another curler at my club and seeing Reid deliver rocks at the Briar. It has certainly made a positive difference in my glide and delivery. It is certainly sturdier than other products out there and provides, at least for me, more stability and thus greater confidence and I can now focus on my aim and release. As my glide is smoother and longer I've had to adjust my points of release (I actually passed the hog line unwittingly a few times at the start). I recommend using it in practice before taking it into a game. It is smooth and effortless and seems to glide at the same rate as my shoes and the rock. My previous stabilizer now feels like it's holding back my glide as if dragging. It is heavier and lower but the weight is not an issue nor is the height and the grip allows for differing heights. If you know someone who uses this product, ask if you could try a couple of glides and you will notice a significant difference. Think about it this way, a traditional stabilizer has several small points of contact with the pebbled surface and the glide can be bumpy at times as these points can get in between the pebbling. The Pro-slide has two very large areas of contact, front and rear, and glides smoothly over the pebbling just like the shoe and rock. The glide material at the bottom is very similar to a the thick material on the bottom of the curling shoe. I just find that my shoe, stabilizer and rock are more in sync. It feels right to have the Pro-Slide in one hand, rock in the other and the shoe slider in the middle. As stated previously, my biggest adjustment was determining my new release points as speed and distance out of the hack increased and improved.

I have used in a few games to end a season (great timing right?). It truly has helped my slide so much. I still have some work to do with it but so far it has been excellent and would recommend it. If you can afford the price tag, which can be steep compared to other stabilizers, go for it
