They appear to be HFX 9 XC brakes. The HFX 9s had a weakness in the design that may or may not relate to your problem; but I'm a bit unclear on what the problem is.

Your statement in bold is throwing me . . . are you trying to say that the brakes don't fully release/return when you let go of the lever? Or that they are sticking at some point when you pull on the lever and so are not making full contact/power?
