"Ron's old Shooting Star was often outstripped by passing butterflies."
— Description[src]

The Shooting Star was a broomstick produced by Universal Brooms Ltd in 1955. At the time of its release, it was the cheapest racing broom on the market. However, after initial good sales and popularity, the broom was found to lose height and speed as they aged.
