I purchased a set of Hawk Helium’s 20” through bowhunterboxclub. I assembled the brackets, put on the straps and connected the sticks together for storage. When I attempted to pull the sticks apart, everyone of the suction cups broke! Does anyone have a contact at GSM or Hawk, I have sent 3 emails over the last month and recieved zero response.
 
I don't have the newer heliums with the suction cups but, your story is pretty typical. Most of them break and people struggle getting a hold of Hawk. Even when they do I don't think they get a resolution they like. I know some have just taken off the Hawk buttons and replaced them with these: https://doublesteps.com/product/suction-cups-jr-10665/

If you do get a hold of Hawk and get new suction cups you have to modify them or it will happen again. There are threads on here you can search for where people have sanded them to make them work.
 
I just took the male ends off on the two that didn't break and used a gear tie but a titan strap would probably work even better.
 
Kind of a joke you spend $120 on sticks and another $80 to modify them to work correctly

Stumbled across this today so thought I would link it for you. There's a lot more info here. Apparently, some have been able to get a hold of Hawk but got different answers.
